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 ?
-
Thanks you guys. 👍
-
Was there a WVS Davis marble factory.
-
You nailed it. The sharp seam in the first pic is the trait. Same size as well. 👍
-
That is just ridiculous. I’d sleep in a tent right next to that one. Diggers Dream.
-
Akro Indian Blanket ? I’m reach’n on that one.
-
I lucked out. I have 2 Novas. One with an anneal fracture and one without. So I keep chasing this one around in my figures and I’m going NUTZ. No fractures. The base glass is black. The red and white ribbons both run counter clockwise. There is only one of each color.
