Not yet !! I believe I was sleeping on Thursday ?? Just kidding, go for it Gina, we don't have anything I know of, an empty spot on the weekly !!

Looking at the green base glass & metalic on the outside you might have a "Jabo" marble Joep ?? Champion did make a lot of marbles with metalic in them but !! I just seen this same marble I.D. as Champion and the consensus was Jabo !!

Same mib shown in the sunlight and then indoors under a 5000k daylight bulb to eliminate the yellow light.

Looks foreign to me ?? I'm not that great on cats though !! I think I see a bit of orange peel texture on the surface suggesting the possibility of a Vacor ??

Well since I'm here, my best Akro Milky Oxblood.

Hello Art, No uv actually I lit it up from underneath so I'd have to say backlit with normal lighting, I've posted this marble many times and the consensus is being from the French drain, the olive base glass color is very similar to several marbles recovered from there. I knew it was Akro when I got it but the olive base glass threw me. Oxblood is on the surface, I though is was subsurface also but the ox does protrude a bit out from the base glass a bit in a couple areas, other than that a couple microscopic as made dimples, I can't even find a fleabite. I lit it up so the Akro construction was more visible, I thought it was a super muddy translucent for the longest time !! In hand the olive green color is very apparent when backlit. In regular lighting it appears to be a dark muddy base. I did try U.V. on it, very little to no reaction, maybe the muddy coloring, I haven't the slightest.

An obscure Akro w/ Oxblood, believed to be from the "French Drain? I believe" Alan" was the one who pointed this out to me and caused further investigation, "Thank You Alan"

You're welcome !!

I made a couple collages of some things I like to do, some of my "other interests" Marble related games : Mushroom photography, picking & buying : Fishing : I wanted to put some elk & deer hunting pix here but didn't want to gross anybody out.

Not very good on Vitro I.D. but the ones with color only on the outside & transparent on the inside were called "Veneered" I believe Vitro was the first or the only manufacturer to use this method in production, from what I've read this really bolstered their sales.

Prized indeed, I agree David, Glady's got a real keeper there, the blue Av. really makes for a nice marble
