Agree, MCS

Well if you're thinking Ruby Slipper it's not like one I've ever seen. Usually loaded with bubbles and the surface is full of dimples. I've probably had at least 10 of them and they all had one stand out ribbon W the other side being lesser. Here are a few examples my Friend Terry has sold in the past, I'll try and dig out my pix. Never seen one without a myriad of bubbles inside, you can usually recognize them 10 feet away, an easy I.D. http://grandpamarble.com/html/gm2016.html 2.http://grandpamarble.com/html/gm2336.html Looks like they're questioning what it is themselves, I think "Grannycamps" might be one, but the others I question, just as they do themselves. Never seen one like this, the ribbon and glass color are both off. They even have a ? below the pic

How he lived through all that is a miracle fer sher,. he took a lickin and is still tickin.

You need a neutral, colored background. I've found grey to be excellent. Their are certain marbles that white or black background works better on but using a neutral color will benefit you on the majority of the pix you take. The focus is excellent BTW. Neutral colors will stop the majority of reflection and refraction you are getting on the surface of your mibs.

I'm not 100 it's a pelt ??

Christensen single seam slag

Baby Tubbers and his Dad Buddy playin

VVHTF, I waited a long time for one like this, I only have a handful of Ravenswood

Indians

Another one bites the dust

.91 biggest pelt Rainbo I have, (I think) I might have an opaque white one laying around somewhere closer to an inch ??

Not mine but some Orangeade Akro patches I had to post, love em !@!

There might not be any but there is a good chance even if it's scarce

like the new avatar man.

Did you look close for traces of Av. in the black patch ??

3/4 and up aren't that easy to find, they're out there yes, but not as common as the smaller sizes, nice mib BTW

White opaque base W any single color opaque ribbon going from pole to pole, i.e. two Opaque colors. LINK :: https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/akro-agate-co/ The most common and easily recognizable Akro Agate marble is the Corkscrew. This is a variegated-stream marble whose design is unique to Akro Agate. Two or more streams of colored glass were allowed to enter through the marble-making machine’s shearing mechanism at the same time. Because the different colors were layered as they came out of the furnace and because the colors were of different densities, they created separate strata in the glass stream as it entered the shearing mechanism. Just before the shearing mechanism in the Akro machinery there was a small cup with a hole in the bottom. The glass stream entered the cup from the top and passed through the hole in the bottom into the shearing mechanism. If the cup was spinning, then a corkscrew was created. If the cup was not spinning, then a patch was created. The number of different colored spirals in the corkscrew, or the number of different color patches was determined by the number of nozzles that had glass flowing through them when the glass stream was created. Corkscrews are identifiable as being two or more spirals of color that rotate around the marble from one pole to the other, but do not intersect. Different color combinations and designs were marketed by Akro Agate under a variety of names: Prize Name (two opaque colors), Special (three or more opaque colors), Ace (one opaque color and translucent milky white), Spiral (transparent clear base with colored spiral), Onyx (transparent color base with opaque white spiral). In addition, other names have been applied by children and collectors over the years: Snake (a Spiral or Onyx where the opaque or colored glass is on the surface and just below it), Ribbon (a Spiral or Onyx where the opaque or colored glass goes almost to the center of the marble), “Ades” (types of Aces with fluorescent base glass), and Popeye (a specific type of Special commonly found in Popeye marble boxes). Two-colored white-based Prize Names are the most common corkscrew type. This is followed by two-colored color-based Prize Names, Onyx, Spirals, three-color Specials, Aces, four-color Specials, and five- color Specials. Although I have heard of six color corkscrews, I have never actually seen an example where the sixth color was not actually a blend of two of the other colors. If a true six-color Special exists, then it is extremely rare. Any corkscrew over 1” is extremely rare. You should be very aware that the color and design combinations of corkscrews is almost limitless. You could easily amass a collection of several hundred corkscrews, of which no two would be the exact same color combination or pattern.

X2, nice prize name cork

Not seeing MFC

X2, Akro, looks like it was supposed to be an auger

Killer Popeye. purple is my fav.
