  1. This is a nice marble. The white that spreads out is a hard thing to define here. I am used to seeing it in Marble Kings and Vitros--not Masters. I have a feeling that it has to do with the annealing process--but this is just a tought. Perhaps @cheese has some thoughts to share here. Marblew--On!!
  2. I agree with Vitro for sure. This one wanted to be a "Parrot"--it just fell short of a color. Stuff happens in the factory that cannot always be explained here or anywere. Nice marble--great ask! Marble--On!!
  3. There are quite a few "Patch Types"--Akro Vs Master Made that look quite similiar. The colors match up quite well and it really comes down to the cutlines sometimes. The left one is an Akro with classic Akro Cutlines and the second is a Master Made Marble with classic Master Made Cutlines. This is of course--my humble opinion and I hope to see some more input. Marble--On!!
  4. I agree with Twister. Did you grease this one up? If not--just a superior finish on this one. Marble--On!!
  5. I agree with Vacor here--nice marbles! Marble--On!!
  6. Image #9 at eight o-clock, the inside one--This one should show pontils. The rest are a nice mix of older "Machine Made" marbles which will not show pontils. I see one Akro Corkscrew that I have not seen before--luve it! Image #17. Thanks for sharing these-- and--- Marble--On!!
  7. Nice pair for sure. Master Made on the first one--no doubt. Master vs Imperial on the second one--I am on the fence here. Both are nice finds! Marble--On!!
  8. X3--Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  9. Now way imho. This one would be condisdered as a Master Made Marble vs a Master Glass Marble. Master Glass made marbles into the era you are talking about--but they just sucked--most of them at least. Good thinking and I appreciate that for one. Marble--On!!
  10. The thing about Whisplers. They all look good--bigger or smaller. Marble--On!!
  11. Thanks for coming here my marble collecting friend. I look forward to a new, long lasting member who has much to share. Keep your mind open and we will learn from you as you learn from us here at "TheMarbleConnection". Post your images and share your knowledge, always with a chance that it may be challenged. We welcome it all, just keep it nice. Many youngsters visit this site--just sayin. If you run into any negativity, contact a "Moderator" and it will get sorted out pronto. Marble--On!!
  12. Whispler--all day long! Marble--On!!
  13. Imperial sold many "frit" Marbles. I suggest that this one is from a cross-over run between two types of marbles. I have not seen many "Patch Type" marbles with "frit" included--this is my first as a matter of fact. I think that this one is a "missing link" Imperial--good luck finding the links!!! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  14. I am on the Master Made Train with this one. The cutlines are right, the colors are right and the 1/3 coverage is right. This one has seen some play as well--the damage is right. Masters take a licking for sure and many were against true "Agates". This is a very nice smoothly finished marble that has taken a few knocks--still nice though. These are just my opinions--all open for discussion and comments otherwise. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!
  15. Research "Akro Tri Colored" swirls in the og box. You may find a few of these imho. Marble--On!!
  16. I am used to seeing "Buttermilks" as swirls vs "patch type" marbles. I agree that this one is a "Trilite" in "Buttermilk" clothing. This is a very nice marble. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!
  17. An Akro Sparkler--or a very fancy Master Sunburst imho. Post some more images that show where the colors come to a point. Crop them well and give us your best--sharpest images. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble--On!!
  18. I will take a guess here--they are all round😁. Do not sweat it--this is all fun here. Get your images together, 3- four at a time and send them again. I look forward to seeing them. Marble--On!!
  19. List the sizes and crop the images better. The yellow one has me thinking. Marble--On!!
  20. Cool Vitro imho. Marble--On!!
  21. Vacor "Neptunes vs Vacor Bluejays"--tomato--tomatoe imho. Vacor is always re-naming marbles. The name might be retired but--- the marble is not. Food for thought. Consider the "Roosters by" Vacor--a very pretty marble--these are just a blue version imho. Marble--On!! These are not Akro Tommy. Marble--On!!
  22. I like the talk between you two--but this is a marble ID link. Talk all that you want to with the PM ( Personal Message or the "Lounge").
  23. You have to list the sizes Wolf. I aggre with the transitional thing on the first one. The second is a WVS--no CAC here imho. Marble--On!!
  24. I think that Akro is correct--Prizename--no. Maybe an Imperial? Marble--On!!
