Wow that's interesting. Looks like Akro. But I thought akro didn't make shifter knobs...🤔.. Just an awesome piece great score 💥🔥💥✅🤯

Could be ....here is mine . Nice mib 👍

Thanks Ron 👊..so is it safe to say the earlier the marble the better chance of getting a true black because they were actually making the colors with a formula . Is that why some of the early marbles don't have the color bleeding 🤔 as you say whole milk vs 2% ..well since I'm asking ...is cullet what they bought from glass manufacturers ? Great thread ......👍

Some 1in and their smaller counterparts

Keeps getting better and better...👍

Very very cool.... thanks for sharing. it is beautiful for 100 years old..wow 💥💥💥👍

Cool score..👍

Way cool Ron thanks for the exercise 👍...I have never seen a black Akro pot......awesome 💥💥💥 That gray is out of hand....thanks for sharing 👍💥

https://www.peltiermarbles.info/mastermarbles This is where I got the Mellon ball name . When I found these In the pin they just stood out not like a game marble lots of bubbles.

Great shot on the white slag.👍...hard to capture for me ....

Thanks everyone for the help..those were the two makers I had narrowed it down to...i was leaning hard to the Alley side..it's a really great mib in hand..

Found a bunch of these cases at a convention grabbed some before the trash did ....protects my fresh off the rollers slags..

Joe you are awesomeness .. Thank you for what you do 👍

Couple more ...

Mellon balls..

Thanks there are some in the sun 🌞

I was waiting for you to add to the subject. I'm on the fence in a way . I like trivia and Ron's stated 3 company's made black. Fun question and I had a kind of cheet book in these pages.Seems to make sense because there are some marbles I have I would have sworn were black until you use a super bright light to show the real color sometimes on the edges but it may just be the way the glass overlays eachother....that said ..my pelts look black even under bright backlight. I have one C.A.C I believe that is a black base glass ...some of the pictures I've seen look to have black . Discussion brings answers. I value your knowledge thank you andkeep it coming. Lol....👍👊

Oh man.... after doing some research my final answer is ..... Peltier, vitro, C.A.C. Peltier has the black av and black patch mibs... Vitro has the black helmet and Well C.A.C. has black in their mibs,, Akro might have some but all the ones I have I backlit seemed a heavy purple Well.....that's what I got.

At least I'm coming up with the same thoughts

Thanks for the clarification 👊

I'll get a shot in the sun

Thanks for the input everyone 👍

From what I've come to understand these are Flintys 👍🤞
