Thank you!

Akro is a good guess. Circa 1930's. Second choice Master -- same time period. What size? If Akro or Master I can't see mica or lutz being a possibility. Could be debris or small reflections from hit marks.

Well hello, Rick. Nice to see you. Pelt us with something.

I agree with modern. And foreign. I'm leaning Asian on the little speckled ones. (The other choice is Mexican but I think Asian.) The size of the toebreaker makes Vacor de Mexico a strong possibility for that one.

Hi Puck! You're adorable! I once had a cat who loved marbles. Now I wish I'd let him have more of them. If any of my future cats ever want to play I'll never tell them no.

I don't see a pontil -- that's some kind of damage. This marble saw some major action. 25.2mm? So that's an inch. I was going to say Peltier Peerless patch, but that guess would have been for a smaller sized marble. Because of the large size I'm getting more of a Vitro feeling now. What a wonderful patch.

Well, that's a good question. The red looks transparent in these photos, so maybe it's an Onyx, rather than a Prize Name. The white is very thick and rich though, which would make me guess earlier Onyx cork rather than later?

Oh shoot! I didn't include my new peewee latt! Will have to get a new pic and put it in the peewees thread.

I could learn to like these.

New Book: Master Glass Company Marbles, by George Sourlis
Steph replied to Steph's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I gave it my first reading tonight. With the emphasis on photos, it's easy to peruse in one sitting, and I look forward to doing it again. In addition to the packaging pictures there are historical documents and advertisements. -
Nice ones my flickery flamey firey marble.

... and 1946 ....

I did a quick newspaper search and see results from 1948 and 1949.

What a sad story and bittersweet remembrance. A treasure. I would never separate them either.

You're making me itch to go find some corks.
-
What a beautiful pair. Keepers!

The white glass doesn't look quite opaque enough for me to be thinking much about CAC. I'd probably keep Alley or Ravenswood in the mix for now.
-
New toy to me. Very nice. (Knew the rhyme.) Sounds like fun. Sounds like you've made it go?
-
p.s., and there's a picture near the end of that link, from Charles.

My pictures are missing from this other thread -- darn Photobucket -- but yeah, stained glass is associated with Akro. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/11516-1930-akro-boxes/

I see you uploaded a photo in the gallery. I'll post it here. I recognize that pattern. Can't remember for sure if I've seen it with Akros. It is very familiar though. I can do some digging. Meanwhile others might have pertinent comments.
