Thanks for the much better pics - I agree with Akro.
-
It's hard to see much detail in the pics.
-
Appears to be an Akro patch on the right and a couple of lazy corkscrews on the left.
-
The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
Ric replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Some nice finds there - the pink one is great. The fired clay marble is often referred to as an Akron Roller but I am not sure they were made by AM&T Co. -
I would say most likely newer MK double patches but sometimes these types and similar Vitros can be tough to tell apart.

You gotta love drizzle . . .
-
A nice variety to start off West Virginia Wednesay!
-
Man, I see what you mean about a light polish on the big one - it really does look sweet! The others ain't too bad either. Great snags!
-
I think you're doing remarkable work for having just started. My favorite in this group is the blue and green one, for sure. And I definitely see the snake head on that last one.
-
Alley definitely wouldn't shock me. And just FYI, the term "diaper fold" is usually associated with a specific type of fold found on CAC marbles. Check this post for a good example.
-
If you consider your first pic the top of the mib, I think a pic of the front (the side facing the bottom of that pic) would go a long way toward a correct ID.
-
It's hand gathered and machine rounded so it is a transitional. And it looks like a good possibility of being an American Agate too.
-
No pic . . . ?
-
I'll split the ticket: Vitro left and MK right are my guesses.
-
Here is a 1 1/8" (not including the little nub) sextuple ingot. It's Bill's marble now. It takes some effort to see all six of the 5/8" marbles, but the volume calculation is spot on too.
-
I'd guess Marble King.
-
The base looks a bit weak for Alley, at least to me. At that size, if light goes through it, it's probably not Alley.
-
Not CAC, although someone may be able to identify which company did make it. My first guess would be Champion.
-
I'm with you on that, Tommy.
-
Oh yeah, that's a beautiful 'bo! Looks like a little lucky purple in there too.
-
I think the word your looking for is "bifurcation". lol
-
It's fun to collect the different colors out there. I may have wrangled a few more since this pic was taken.
-
I'm pretty sure I've seen some vintage gumball-style marble machines.
-
What the . . .?
-
I'd say so. Nice marble, regardless. Good luck!
