"Price per M. marbles" = Price per thousand, I think.

That's only 63 kb picture. You're allowed quite a bit larger. 425 or 450 kb I think. Or maybe just show a smaller selection. ?

My first thought is no.

They had 9/16". Size No. 00

I _think_ I've seen cross-throughs with black. But I could be making that up. Maybe it was a dream.

Wonderful pictures! I have to remember this thread next time I want to explain cross-throughs to someone.

Yours is a No. 6. No. 0 is 5/8".

Welcome Rick! Nice to meet you.

Super find. With that many you have the luxury of experimenting with many combos. What time range are you willing to spread the sales over?

Akro. I'm sure.

Nice bump

Now the left marble looks like an Alley. A St. Marys Alley, made in the 40's. I feel good about that guess. Still not sure about the marble on the right, but the cutline on this view does look like an Akro:

mmmmmmmmmmm, corn meallllllllllll

I'm back. Reformat was a success. I forgot to save my bookmarks. Ooops.

I don't know what I'm doing. If I don't come back, that's what did me in. Y'all have fun now!

Let me do some more research. Still four days left. No one act in haste.

#1 could be an unusual Vitro. How many yellow patches on #2? If only one, then I'm stumped. If two yellow patches, then I'll put in another tentative Marble King. If one yellow patch and one patch of some other color then I understand a Vitro guess on it, but would still question it based on the shape of the yellow. Sticking with Marble King on #4 and Vitro Conqueror on #3. Not gonna place any bets on the Marble King for #4, but it looks familiar to me. If I recall correctly, I got similar marbles in a Marble King horseshoe blister pack.

These are most definitely dug. I think there was another thread I wanted to post these in, but now I don't remember which one it was. My head is a bit foggy. For all I know there's another odd akro thread already going and I should merge this into that one.

I think I decided that this was a dug Akro. I'm not sure anyone else ever agreed with me but I think I saw something like it in someone else's definitely dug group. Amber in hand but a haze of white filaments made themselves more prominent in the photo. The red was concentrated in one view and a thin film at another angle. I think the structure qualified as "buttcrack".

Check out that opalescence. That's what I'm talkin' about.

Does have some transitional feel ... the glass quality and the little corky motion visible in the first view fit ... just not seeing quite enough of the structure I want to see. Um, could it be an actual cork?

Not at this time.

Oh, did I forget to say welcome?! Hi! And Welcome. I like your avatar.

Patch is an okay description for least #2,3 and 4. Probably okay for #1 also. #3 is a Vitro Conqueror, from the 1940's. #4 might be a somewhat newer Marble King. (Possibly from the 70's, maybe later.) More views could help. (And larger if possible.)
