A sweet little 7/8”(+/-) mint black clam is still on my bucket list
-
A forced sale had to be awful. I didn’t sell anything by choice for many years, but once I got started it became easier and easier. Now I have pictures (though I wish I’d taken far more!) and memories…
-
They both appear to be regular pontil (rough cut off) transitionals to my old eyes. Probably Ohio made, might be Navarre on the first.

Just a suggestion - there are less permanent and disfiguring alternatives, and I’d be careful with those fancy Benningtons (but I’m partial to those, I suppose.) https://stickyaide.com/museum-putty-vs-museum-wax/ -
Chad that blue & white set is just gorgeous.
-
That would be my first choice.
-
Maybe just a ‘simmering’ spruce? OK, I’ll show myself out🫠

Never have I ever…but I can still dream!

I do indulge in a little (eye) candy every now and then😆

My very late 2 cents - regardless of manufacturer it’s a unique and gorgeous piece of eye candy😍and I agree it is most likely an Alley, not CAC. Hang on to that one.

Thanks for this, John, Bruce is just a very special guy, and Moon Marbles should be on every collector’s bucket list of must visit marble palaces.
-
I wasn’t either, but she did make a convincing argument😆
-
These look to be from the same run - this one has a sizable blow out from a surfaced bubble, I’m just surprised the others didn’t.
-
Ditto - love those big seedy bubbles on this one.
-
Yep x2, and wow, that was a seedy batch!
-
Put an eye patch on that bad boy.

Greiner? Bulgarian? Reproduction greiner?

Not oxblood to my eyes either. -
“New shooter comin’ out!” Almost 100 years ago, anyway.

X2 Slow cup syndrome lol.
-
X2 Vitro Superior, but I’d vote no on the oxblood.

Terry #1 is definitely an Akro cork, common colors but an uncommon pattern, nice mib; #2’s pic just didn’t load fully, but the colors also look decidedly Akro’ish. As for any other ‘corking’ marbles you find, put’em in your Akro pile and 99% of the time you won’t be wrong.
-
Give this man a cigar! White contains all visible wavelengths, so you might say it’s the ultimate color lol. OP to answer your question about relative rarity in the Akro universe, I wouldn’t say these are rare but not very common, either. Very cool mibs, especially the R/W/B with the pinstripe.
-
Nice one!

Greiner? Bulgarian? Reproduction greiner?

Without additional pics or having it in hand, I’d say it’s likely Bulgarian.
