The glass looks older to me which takes it out of the running to be a Jabo. FWIW
-
I think the last Pelt might be an Inky. Maybe
-
The CAC is special and will be of interest in this thread. I think the corkscrew could be somewhat HTF. FWIW
-
CAC and an Akro
-
Start by sorting out the ones that glow.
-
I agree on 1 and 3. I’ll kick the can on 2 and say Vitro.
-
I think that box is in the books.
-
Holy Snap ! We’re those by chance Brian Epstien’s box ?
-
It’s my understanding that the Glass Master maker at Akro figured out how to make Oxblood. I think his name was CJ Fields. It’s my understanding that employees from other factories got jobs at Akro and tried to steal the “formula “. True ? Kinda True ? Or just a bunch of Bull Carp. Scramble Carp and you get Crap.

Keeper 👍

WOW ! That’s a lot of BS over a piece of glass. I say “piece of glass” because Ravens like shiny objects and I seek out anything made out of glass. That sounds more like drug deal that didn’t end with a handshake
-
True Akro Oxblood is opaque.
-
Maybe an Akro Slag.
-
I’m thinking Vitro on the first one. There are several examples of oxblood that are different from the Akro Oxblood. Akro made True Oxblood marbles. I think sometimes the term Oxblood is used improperly. Rumor has it that other factory works would work for Akro and try to steal the Oxblood glass formula. FWIW
-
I’m not seeing Pelt. The seams aren’t right. I’d say some type of a foreign made. FWIW
-
A few eye lashes 1X

I know Tracers have a different base glass with a lot of different color combos ribbons side my side. Does anyone have pics of a Blue Traveler ? C**P ! Did I just Hi Jack this thread ? I can’t remember if a Blue Traveler is a Tracer.
-
If I have one you guys have at least 3.
-
I think a cool marble to add to this thread would be the Carmel/ Butterscotch based Tracer with the white and yellow ribbons. I know you guys have pics of this marble.
-
I agree. Carmel base glass is always a Keeper in my collection.
-
Ron. Do you think Sissy Dear has some of these ? Bo Stiff showed my a handful of these he had. I didn’t know a 2 colored Cork was more HTF then Pop-Eyes.
-
I really appreciate the information. These terms were “loosely” used 15 or so years ago.
-
BANG ! Thanks for the information. I never really knew how long a run would last.
-
What is the difference between these 2 terms ?
