What he said.
Official name: Akro Onyx Agate
-
Bubbles are cool.
Could be Champion.
Would lump it in with "transparent swirls". -
-
Close on the name. "Tri-Color Agates" is what the box said. No "ed".
-
-
For future reference

I'm just getting to the part in the video with the history of the VFW marble activities ... that's a touching story.
-
nicely done
and nice to see you

gorgeous
but if I had unlimited money, I would probably follow the snow .... I'd have a summer home in some wintry place. Might not go there all the time ... I did enjoy having a garden this summer .... but hey, if I had unlimited money, I could have a greenhouse in my wintery home! So ... snow it is!

Hi. Welcome. I lived there when I was four.

We need our swirl guys. SOS.
Seems like I should know that marble. The filaments in the base could be a big clue. But it's been awhile since I've played with swirls and I've misplaced my swirl sample cases ... .(yes, I've lost my marbles).

#12 is a Vitro Tiger Eye.
#7 is a probably a Vitro Conqueror. #1, 2 and 10 may also be.
I'll be back to take another whack at these later if no one beats me to it. -

Back in the day "snotty" was used for other marbles too, not just CAC's. But we've narrowed it down quite a bit since then. And the one at the link doesn't fit my picture of "snotty". That's a reputable seller ... but I don't know where they're coming from with this particular marble.
-
I wouldn't have guessed CAC for the marble at the link.
-
Look at the white glass here -- it's kinda seedy. If we were looking at a WV swirl, I'd be thinking "Cairo Novelty". I'm not seeing anything here which suggests "veneering" to me.
I googled ... and may see the photo you're referring to. So basically I need more input about transparent ribbons on Whities ... but also, to me, this marble doesn't look right for Vitro in the white glass either.
Need some Whities pictures! -
Something a little different about it. It's not calling out to me as one which would have been in a Tri-Color Agate run.
But that's as close as I can get to a name. -
Whities are veneered marbles and that transparent ribbon seems to run awfully deep.
I can't swear a whitie can't have a transparent ribbon ... but that's what ruled it out for me.
-
The swirl isn't distinct, but I guess it _could_ be an Alley. What size is it?
That's all I got .... hopefully someone else will feel more confident.
Oh, how opaque or clear is the blue? -
Pix from original packaging have been posted before ... there are some in these two threads.

http://marbleconnection.com/topic/19506-original-kokomo-packaging/Some pictures are missing and some links are messed up, thanks to Photobucket's unhappy changes. We need a new comprehensive Kokomo thread. But maybe this will give you something to go on for now.

The larger image is something to behold. I can email it if you are interested.

^^ I added a small version of the photo Scott sent me. A larger version is available. My picture host just wasn't working as I expected it to.




Bought from dishonest seller... what do I actually have?
in Marble I.D.'s

Marble 6 looks Vacor to me also.
Marble 5 could be Alley.
Not Popeye on #4. Possibly Jabo. Not sure.
#3 could be an Akro slag. If it's vintage, then Akro slag. If it turns out to be newer, then Vacor.
#2 not oxblood. I don't have a guess for maker at this time.
#1 ???
