    Condition isn't good, if that's what you're asking. Looks to be a couple bricks, which is somewhat ironic, since they got their nickname from being in that condition (and look like a brick). If that's a Pelt in the top Left it's a good size

    I've seen similar colors on a run of Akro's leading up to oxblood, and I don't want to be the guy continually asking what it looks like backlit (ie: is it a green base?)
  3. I'llhavethat1
    Yeah, I don't know much about them either. Spongeware comes to mind but I don't know if that was related to where they were made or a regional nickname

    The shed was at a homestead in Canada. The carpet bowls were probably in better condition than the shed. The lawn bowls are WAY heavier than they look. Real dense wood. The inlays might be ivory?

    lol. Here's another old pic of some carpet bowls that a friend found in her shed

    No problem, 23/32" is still bigger than the ones I've seen. Hey, found some old Master pics. The purple one was my fav but went MIA
  7. I'llhavethat1
    Here's an older pic, I think the larger ones were ~3/4"
  8. I'llhavethat1
    3/4" is a big size for that type of Akro, the ones I have are ~5/8". If I recall correctly, somebody at some time dug a couple at the old Alley plant, which spurred the conversation years ago. Definitely not a Master. Awesome marble.

    Yeah here too, any white based corkscrew (to me) is a corkscrew. Two colors (other than white) makes it a bit harder to find. but If anyone has a third column, second row, I'd love to see it.

    I'm thinking blue/black and green/black are harder to find (for me anyways).

    It's odd to see a couple nice German Handmades in the mix of newer marbles (I'm guessing mostly Vacor and Imperial)... No Idea on the eyeball other than it's creepy cool
  12. I'llhavethat1
    Glad the pics work, and thanks for the complement. In my case it was louvered window blinds (southern exposure light). It's an old pic.

    This is one of the displays I put together years ago and am gladly looking forward to putting 'er back on the wall (terrible focus I know). Nice marbles Chad. Digging the Pelts and Handmades. Let me know if this pic works.

    Lawn bowls (a bit of a stretch to be marble related... but hey, they're round!)
  15. I'llhavethat1
    Odd, shows up on my screen and also in your quoted response. Anybody else not able to see it? Try this:

    Since I was starting to unpack ( I know it's a mixed bag, thought the pic turned out OK though and didn't want to hijack Chad's other thread). Cheers
  17. I'llhavethat1
    Sorry, don't mind the hodge-podge. (In the process of unpacking. ) Green one was the one I was thinking of
  18. I'llhavethat1
    See if this works?
  19. I'llhavethat1
    Nice, I saw a couple green ones the other day
  20. I'llhavethat1
    Keep on posting the pics . 2nd post up there was some discussion about Akro vs. Alley years ago.
  21. I'llhavethat1
    Love the style of lid for that box. Nice!
  22. I'llhavethat1
    I'd say at least two nice Alleys. Someone more knowledgeable will surely chip in as this isn't my forte
  23. I'llhavethat1
    Sorry, that comment was intended for Brian as a compliment. Any sparkles in a marble, under sunlight and fresh air is good for me.
  24. I'llhavethat1
    ^^pretty sure you speaketh the truth.

    Nice marbles
