My marble has a twin! Did folks think yours might be an Akro too?

Nice one too, Parmcat!

Fiestas are Red, Yellow and Blue (see pic). So I think it's a 'Sunflower' (Clear base with opaque orange, yellow, and brown swirls)

I love the bubble! It adds such character. And the other one being a Vitro Horseshoe "cat's eye" really expands my definition of that category. Does the Vacor one have a name that anyone knows? Thanks all!

It's 29/32 (.90) inch no UV.

That's my only guess. It's 5/8 in (.62) with heavy UV glow in the wispy white and clear glass. The orange glass is a rather unique shade/color.

But the pattern intrigues me. It's a very one sided design. It's 39/64 (.60) with no UV.

I don't think it's a slag as there is a very light blue tracer in the white glass. It's larger size rules out several companies, so Alley? It's 45/64 (.70) inch with no UV.

I bought these a while back and they were described as being "German wire pulls from the 1950's or 60's" Are they Veiligglas? Or something else entirely? I love them- so simple and clean. The smaller one on the left is really a dark forest green and measures 7/8 (.87) inch. The red, white, and blue one is a hair over 1 inch. No UV in either.

By definition, "Ade's" have to glow under UV. You can't miss them- it's super bright. So this isn't a lemonade or limeade or ade base. I would agree with the sellers Ebay post of an Egg Yolk Oxblood with lime. Or maybe as Fire said a while back, it is a Yellow Corkscrew with Oxblood. Depends on how you define the yellow color. And on how the green presents in hand. The addition of a lime /green color would definitely make it more rare. Anyway, what ever you call it it's a super nice marble!

Well take some pics when you get a chance. I'd love to see them. Also, watch your abbreviations- that word is definitely derogatory here in the US. Marble on!

Thanks Cheese!

They are both 5/8 (.62) inches no UV. I posted them together to save time.

Not the prettiest, in my opinion. Yet some how I've ended up with 4 of them! They are all around 19/32 (.60).

Wouldn't it be an Akro Egg yolk with that yellow glass? I'm fairly sure it's not JABO. JABO did make mibs with oxblood and egg yolk colors, but the base glass was always clear, not milky like the OP. So yes, Akro. Nice example!

Interesting. I can see what you mean by the white base being lightly tinted by the purple. That is definitely a possibility with mine. Not 100% sure about it, but that may explain the frosted look. @aussie Can you share some pictures of yours? I'd love to see it. I am in Oakland, CA, USA

Thanks folks! I appreciate all of you helping out with trying to ID this mib. I would say the pontil on mine also has a short clean crease cut off line as well. But as noted, it is very hard to see even in hand. A final question- why the more frosted finish to this marble? Was it made that way or is it the result of damage? I think this on might have been in the dirt for a while as the deeper dings had/have dirt packed in them that even a scrubbing didn't remove. I think I need to soak it for a few hours to see about getting it out. Thanks again!

Yes, forgot to post the size. It's 2/3 (.66) inch. No UV.

Any ideas on the maker?

Thanks to all. I will move it over to my Champions.

Also a possibility with the crease pontil. I have so few MFC's for comparison.

Got it Chad. Thanks for the info! I'll have to look at my solid cores to see if I might have any jelly cores. That is a new distinction for me. Nice marbles by the way...

I thought this might be an Akro, but it is more complicated than that. To start, the frosted finish is unlike any Akros I have. Then when I looked at it closely, I think there are 2 separate corkscrews, each starting at an opposite pole and spiraling in opposite directions. The last picture shows where the top cork trails into the lower one. It also shows where the lower cork tail ends as a thin line barely separated from the main mass of the lower cork (at about 4pm in the pic). This makes me think it's hand made. There is a possible pinched or crease pontil at one pole as seen in pic 5. So I'm thinking it may be a Yasuda?

What makes a "Jelly Core"? I've never heard that term used.
