Ric

Here's an Alley - gone off to a great home . . .

Nice Bill! Here's another beauty from Cairo . . .

Dang Steve, I thought I got all your swirls! This one's in my keeper box. Here's why. God love ya' Al Rasmus!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY a little late Orboy!

Some mighty nice looking marbles there, Griff. And Sprinkles . . . I love it - too funny! How about it Griff . . . what do ya' think . . . you better let us know soon . . . it might catch on! OOOoooops . . . too late . . . lol.

Those are nice, Winnie - and big too! I have some Alox packaging and have seen a lot more. But I've not seen anything that looks like your marbles in that packaging. The No. 6 I showed is 1" in diameter. An easy way to remember the original size numbering system is to remember that a 5/8" (10/16") marble is a No. 0. Then just count up by 1/16" increments: No. 1 = 11/16", No. 2 = 12/16" (3/4"), No. 3 = 13/16", No 4 = 14/16" (7/8"), etc. I hope this helps. P.S. So a No.1 marble is bigger than 5/8" but no bigger than 11/16", a No. 2 is bigger than 11/16" but no bigger than 3/4" (12/16"), etc.

The Tiger Eye I posted in the Master thread is a No. 5 - 29/32" to be exact - so . . . yes.

A few more . . .

Here's a mint No. 5 . . .

Jumpin' Jimminy, David . . . That's a MONSTER! Here's one I used to like - even with a little damage - never seen another quite like it.

David, I'm lovin' that tree. And Miser . . . dang man! They're ALL sweet.

Thought I might of seen one of these hiding in the grass earlier, but Orbboy's turned out to be much nicer . . . another gone for WV swirls. I gotta quit doing that! Anyone got WV swirls to swap for Akro? lol

No kiddin' . . . apparently Master wasn't the only company going after a machine made onion skin.

Okay . . . bet's off. . . . the only part of my collection that's organized. Here's a pretty nice No. 6 . . . . . . maybe no one'll notice it's Alox.

David, I'll bet my marble mess is bigger than your marble mess . . . I've probably got nicer ones . . . in with my Imperials.

I never paid Masters much mind, but after looking these posts . . . that's gonna change.

Surely the coolest looking cat yack I've ever seen.

Nice marbles, Folks! Here's a Blue Blood I traded for some nice WV Swirls. Hmmm . . . ya' think that's got anything to do with the fact that I have a pitiful Akro collection? lol.

I'd have those with my Superiors, Winnie.

Wow, a bit more time with the magic wand and that could've been downright convincing! lol

Oh yeah, they did make some nice ones. Great colors on yours, Big John. In my book, it's a killer!

Oh yeah . . . it's different. I would have guessed Marble King.

Cool spermatozoan-shaped contaminant on that marble, Orbboy. Although Vitro is not one of my stronger suits, I'd say it's a Trilite. But it's lacking a red ribbon on one side of the yellow patch, so I wouldn't put it with my Superiors. Here's a Superior with a little swirling action, which makes this otherwise bland example a bit more interesting.

Ah . . . "groovy" . . . one of my favorite words - brings back times I don't remember. But, if I do recall correctly, these are also Aquamarine types.
