Nothing on you, just explaining & showing for anyone who might not know the difference between the two

Chalkies are glass marbles that fell from the machinery (rollers etc.) & hit the lime coated wooden floor during production in the process became lime coated themselves. The floors in the old marble factories almost all had lime on them to prevent the common fires. OP is a glazed & fired clay marble, not glass IMO, looks like a so called lined crockery marble to me ? Looks of modern make, not vintage ?? All are not Alley but it seems some of the best examples are. A very desirable marble as most were buried or discarded along w/ the rest of the imperfections.

Yes CAC made both 1 & 2 seam red slags, I've had both also. MFC was the only one that didn't make any red slags as far as I know ?? The HG question is a good one !! Wish I was there so I could give a more definitive answer Brad ??

OP is Akro IMO, MFC didn't make red slags, Christensen did.

"Welcome to Marble Connection Heather" If you have any questions marble or glass related don't be afraid to jump right in. Again, "Welcome"

Box looks real to me but the dividers don't look original & the marbles almost have a guarantee of being backfilled. Don't think I'd be in any hurry to purchase anything from Argentina though !!

Thanks Tommy I had to run !!

"Welcome to Marble Connection Susan" Someone will be by in no time to help you out. Again, "Welcome"

Another great video from Stephen ::

X2, agree, Jabo swirl

" Happy "Thüringen Thursday"

Steph's link is the only forum actually called "Japanese Transitionals" I've seen the extensive amount of knowledge you've contributed to the hobby on AAM. I was there on your very first post, thank you for all the hard work/. I truly hope you find something new here.

X2, Akro cork but not a Popeye, still a good sized cork.

"Welcome to Marble Connection Shiroaiko" Here's a recent post from YesudaCollector for you to look @. You probably recognize some of the pictures from AAM. Maybe a look into "Stephs Study Hall" or using the search bar will reveal something new to you ?? LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/37624-hello-from-poulsbo-wa/#comment-322211

I believe we have a board member from Poulsbo, a small would indeed. Nice mibs BTW

"Welcome to Marble Connection Tony" Yes rare indeed if it is truly an inch & a Popeye. If you have a picture of the marble being measured in a set of calipers please present it. Again "Welcome"

X3, agree w/ Pelt

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Anxious to see your mibs, post away !!! Again, "Welcome"

Looks like it may have a frosted surface & be of foreign make ??

Sounds very familiar Brad ....
