hey all

i am trying to find a vitro guide for sale

if anyone has one send me a message

thanks

steve ice

when you go digging in dirt full of glass shards and rusty metal pieces of scrap mixed among bricks and mud and you pull out the gems

sometimes just a few but sometimes hundreds and maybe even thousands find their way home to u

u bleed some, lose some skin, get really sore from digging but in the end he has the most wins

steve lol

u have to b a real digger to understand

hey all

thanks steph for the extra info

I have the exact marbles that are in the hot shot bags that I dug at AKRO a few years back from a very deep hole

I will try to post a few pics soon as I can dig them out

steve

hey all

AKRO did package and sell swirls

they are found in the HOT SHOT bags I have the pic somewhere

I do have a box full of swirls that came from the digs

just a little info for everyone

steve

hey winnie

nice patches u have there

but not paul bunyons in my opinion

steve

and by the way

he got enough to fill a box car

but not from a box car

lol

steve

no.......to the first one for sure

steve

i go with rich on the left because of mib number nine

hey all

that mib is 100% brand spanking new chinese import

these marbles are found at the dollar store here

there are like 4 or 5 different styles so far that i have

anyhow thought someone might like the truth

steve

hey all

i watched the video and looked at the posted pics...............

now can someone post more pics of the marbles?????

i tried my best to catch a view on the video but no dice

i really wanna see more pics of those mibs

thanks steve

hey sue

as bad as i don't want to say it ...i almost have to....you should be able to count to 22 with said clothing removed.

just throwing that out there

i was told a long time ago by a wise man that if you have a 5/8 marble to start with...every time you add 1/8 of size to the marble you add another whole 5/8 marbles worth of glass to it..and from the looks of all the posted info it looks like he was really close in his calculations

steve

how about 68 points total

saints 35 colts 33

the 1st one might be akro although i see some vitro qualities there

but the 2nd one is not akro IMHO

never seen any at the digs or in akro collections that i recall

i have seen several of those type marbles mostly with the champion/ravenswood/other company swirls

anyhow there is my 2 cents

steve

damn nice marbles!!!!!

i had to dig my own up for christmas

nice score

steve

not that it worth an argument

but here goes

i dont claim to know much in life about anything

but what i do have is a decent amount of akro know how

i have seen more dug marbles than 99.9% of everyone else

i have been so lucky to have been there at different times when jackpots were found

the brick holes, the slag holes, the sparkler vein, the thousands upon thousands of supermen that poured from the ground, the huge cork holes, the patch crater which by the way is still very full, glass ware by the piles, cullet chunks in three foot veins, more than most can imagine

but anyhow i am fairly sure that all the "crows" were dug out of the same hole that gave mostly orangish red marbles that some diggers called early flinties the same spot also gave some bricks and some uranium slaggy looking marbles

i was right there about 4 feet down getting mine those cold days a few years back

if anyone has any older ones i would love to know where they came from

not saying it is impossible but i never saw any until that time

steve

hey glangley and others

the "famous" or so crow/kingfisher marbles were all dug up about 3 years ago on one of the 2 big digs on the old akro property dig

several diggers bypassed them while looking for more $$$ marbles

i was lucky to get the ones i did

from one to another they have somewhat different patterns

anyhow there u go

info for the masses

steve

hey all

champion did make cat eyes and loads of them too i figure

i have dug many many many from there and have opened about 100 bicentennial bags that all had cat eyes in them

anyhow there are 2 cents to add in

steve

wow

what a score

nice going on that grab

i thought i was doing good getting about 110 blue and yellow st marys cateyes for $10

keep up the good work

steve

why question the horsehair oxbloods and not the orange and white swirls that are on the left side of the box?

i have questions that any of those marbles are truly original to that very box

i wish it were mine but still would have concerns over the contents

just 2 cents

steve

hey guys

them there mibs are roosters for sure

a nice mega marble

walmart has them for about 1.97

25 to a pack with a shooter

i have seen as many akros as anyone ever and them ain't AKRO

lol

steve

.9850

how bout that for a winning guess

thanks for the chance

steve

hey felicia give me 21 please

thx

steve

i say leroy made it

steve

hey guys

i never saw one over 5/8 except for double ingots types and they were never nice enough to keep..but they were never that big... about 3/4 is the biggest master glass marble i have ever seen personally

hope it helps a little

i would like to see a pic too

steve

well imagine that

a post that can actually teach you something useful in life if you are just willing to let it

nice

thanks psia

steve
