  1. Ah, I didn't see that extra bit of color before.
  2. My order of certainty for Akro went 100% on bottom right, 95% and then "all in" on top right, "hmmm" at first and then "yeah, it fits" on bottom left. I'm sticking with Akro on all three of those. Here's a box of Akro TriColor Agates to enjoy and compare.
  3. Easy Akro for me on right side and on the front. The top left ... I could see Akro but I'm also wondering about Pelt.
  4. Curious ... could it be a Pelt Acme Realer?
  5. So many possibilities for yours. Right now I'm seriously leaning Akro.
  6. OMG, it is so embarrassing. All that work that I spent in organizing in these past months and I still can't walk straight upstairs and lay my hands on the tin containing my Anacortes bag. From that group pic I posted these were the ones I thought might be closest. Amber with bubbles. Not very close but my Anacortes sample is indeed very small. Here are Joe McDonough's Peltier Honey Amber Bananas
  7. OMG, Gail, this was more than two years ago? I kept tellin myself I need to do that "soon". I was certainly correct not to make promises. (I am still struggling with cameras.) But now I definitely intend to get some close-ups of my little sample. And if anyone else has photos with better detail, the more tha merrier.

    Swirls

    I'm leaning Vacor on the back right because of how those ribbons join in this view. To get Peltier out of it, I need to see more ribbons, for one thing. Two ribbons meeting up at one point and not seeing other ribbons ends coming to the same seam points me at Vacor.
  9. seeing the eyes now. The earliest were the most nearly transparent.
  10. I'm gonna say a solid yes for all but the biggest one in back. I would want to see some more structure on the biggest. I don't recognize that beautiful gold tone. Could be my fault. Maybe someone else will recognize it right away. As for the three on front, not having fire might disappoint and might thus detract from monetary value, but I would certainly keep them together as Akros Flinties and Moonies.
  11. Yup. I gave up on trying to sort these out. I have some obvious ones separated out. I might even have an MK bag of my own, can't remember. But then I have a tray full of the general style that I couldn't sort. Same with my questionable mossy-ish ones, a tray for the general style without worrying about who made the ones which seem a bit weak and borderline. They're nice generic vintage marbles which add color to a group without us needing to worry about them having signficant monetary value.
  12. Ah, here's a short thread I started on the topic. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/9433-non-vitro-all-reds
  13. For some reason, I associate both Marble King and Akro with the marbles which could inadvertently be mixed in with Vitro All-Reds. An association formed over 10 years ago. But I am a bit vague on how much the MK's and Akros might look like each other. My first impression of the bottom ones might have been MK. But my first impression of the top right was distinctly Akro. fwiw
  14. I was thinking mostly of top right. But then if yes on the top right, then the top left would likely be dragged along with it. And the bottom two do fit nicely with the top two.
  15. I take it this is a specifically Akro question. @Melissa, maybe post a couple of pics of the ones with the slits but no glow? My general impression is that as the years went on the fisheyes got smaller and smaller, the marbles became more opaque, and the fire got less and less. However, I don't know if I ever got a firm answer on whether ALL the flintie colors had the fire once upon a time. And there's another name at play. Akro sold some solid color marbles as "Fire Opals". One might hope those all had fire, but did they?
  16. Good morning! Would be a nice discussion! I split your question off from the old topic and moved it over here to the main chat area for more eyes to see. Let 'er rip!
  17. What size of "shooter"? Reading from left, I'm seeing Akro on #1, 2 and 4. Leaning that way on 3 and 5 also though a bit wobbly without going out to look for Akro box pix to compare patterns. I'll give you Vitro on #6, or Jabo.
  18. Thanks for the link. I could see it in the photo though it's a small view. Two on the right with pale blue base and dark swirls floating near the surface.
  19. It's light blue, apparently. Sara clarified that. My brain had interpreted it as white. The pattern, the simple colors, the torchy webbing, and the lutz were sending my mind three different directions. My main concern was that Sara not accidentally let go of an Alley lutz for cheap. Now I can put that worry to bed. Thanks, team.
  20. No idea of what to make of this one. My friend has lots of mysteries. Has lutz. 3/4".
