No doubt about Akro on the second one! The company name was Moss Agate. Edit: actually I do see how Roberto could have gotten Alley on the second. But my first thought was Akro, and then of course with Ron weighing in with Akro, that helps me with the "no doubt" part.

These came to me from Paula Cole as Marble Kings. Maybe yours is a variation on the yellow and red one here.

I too am unable to come up with a Vitro style name for it because it's a little off somehow. For example, the Vitros I can think of that it looks closest to are All-Reds and Tiger Eyes, but I wouldn't call it either one of those.

Yes, it was a good one, you brave man!

Alox Tit-Tat-Toe
Steph replied to wvrons's topic in Marble-Related Documents, News, Etc., Especially Items with Dates
I think they're actually Alox patches. The founder's granddaughter confidently describes how Mr. Frier tinkered around until he managed to get patches from his machines. She thought they were the big one-inchers. I think they are the ones in the tit-tat-toe games. -
Lucky marble collector who has that bag!
-
Weird to see so many of one color combination together. I guess that was somebody's favorite combo. Possibly Akro Tri-Color Agates. I'm not sure.

^^ well, MOST are slags in that compartment in the center. The blue one near the bottom of that compartment might be what we call a transparent swirl, a little later than most slags. And the marbles to the right are something else.
-
These are called slags. The companies would have called them "onyx" back when they were made in the early 1900's. But the collector name for them now is "slag".

That's how confused you had me. That Taz looked pretty old, but I knew it couldn't be before 1954. But that would still be a little old. You had my mind going every which way.

I should have! Doh!

Hi Bill! Hi Wally! I used to have a house panther. ❤️ -

It's a fun one though!

*tries to think of something to say about cartoon character sulphide* *then looks at calendar*

That does look enjoyable. The ability to draw paths is a fun-looking difference from usual games.

Couldn't resist sharing the bubbles!!!

Refreshing! -
Interesting ... that you did it. And that this 79-year-old man thought it was interesting enough to study and write an article about and encourage further study of.
-
Yeah ... makes the head hurt, doesn't it.

Jabo Last Dance -- guessing this combo would be hard to acquire (edit: oh, I do see one available in a group from Bermar on ebay)
