Well not tonight but last night. Porchetta rolled roast, all fresh herbs.( I had to dry brine it overnight-the fridge still smells very nice) Asparagus salad—blanched, cooled and dressed. Olive oil mashed potatoes (I cheated here and used some leftover jars of gravy from Thanksgiving—not too shabby really). There are leftovers—yumm, I cannot wait. I just love this stuff---cooking and preparing meals. Sadly, my wife’s taste buds were wrecked by covid a few years back ( she did like the Asparagus though). Taste buds on!!

I have not seen one like this before Disco. Nice share for sure! This is why Cork-Heads exist--you just never know what you will find in an Akro Corkscrew. A real "Keeper". Marble--On!!

I am interested but it is a very strange marble to be sure. I suggest sending some images to Block's Marble Auctions This is a fun one--but!! You need a good ID here. Marble--On!!

Bogards "Cat Eyes" in this white vs very nice clear matrix can be a hard thing to image correctly. I have had the same problem with Akro white slags. The edges seen to gray -up a bit. I connot see it with my naked eye but the camera does for some reason. I think that @Roberto is right on top of this one. Try shooting with a white glove--or a semi gray background for a better result imho. Nice images! Nice marble! Marble--On!

Nice find Wolf! Marble--On!!

I will meet Roberto half-way here. Master "game marbles" are a hard find but they most certainly exist. When you take any game marble and light it up and enlarge it, you may get the same results. I have experience doing this with a light box.(yep, I used to be quite mental about marbles). I have no problem calling this one a Master Made “game marble”. Nice work! Nice find! It is a pretty marble, orange is pretty rare in any machine made marble. Marble—On!!

Vitro x 2! Marble--On!!

X 3 no slag here. I would push towards Alley Agate here. Marble--On!!

Well, My favortite 5 are Akro, Akro, Akro, Akro, And Peltier. Marble--On!!

I did a simple search on E-bay--"Traditional Marbles". Vacor seems to fit quite well here. Marble--On!!

Vitro sounds right to me. Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a very nice CAC swirl--love the "tongue". Marble--On!!

Put the "Blow Hole" aside for now and look at the rest of the glass. This one has "pocket wear" and at least one hit mark that I would not associate with a Jabo Marble. All of this being said--it is a weird marble with several colors invovled. I cannot name it or ID any maker. Nice cool find--good luck on the ID here--I am flabber-gusted. Marble--On!!

I think that this one is an "older" MK Rainbow. @Melissa may have more to say here. Marble--On!!

X3--Nice find!! Marble--On!!

I would probably sort this one as an Akro Agate "patch type". Nice find! Marble--On!!

At first I tought "Double ingot" marble--I am still not convinced that it is not one. The size is so small--- This one may be a mistake that was dug or recovered after it was disgarded by the factory. Just my opinion and I hope to see some more. Nice marble non the less. Marble--On!

I agree with WVS--no maker from me. Nice find! Marble--On!!

I have no problem calling this one a Master. The weird thing is the fractures on the brown color. I suggest that the glass in the brown color cooled more quickley than the rest of the glass--or visa versa. Longer down the run of these I am sure that it straightened out. All opinions are appreciated here and welcomed for sure. Marble--On!!

I think so, Nice marble, nice images as well. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

This one is tuff--not Vitro to me--maybe a weird one from over-seas. Nice images! Marble--On!!

I am just guessing that this one looks black under natural light. In any case Bogard sounds right to me. @Al Oregon may have a few of these to share. Nice marble! Nice images as well. Marble--On!!

I think that they are all "Prize-names". I hunted these for many years and they seem to hook up with my research. The second one usually has more purple involved but there is still some there. The third one has an Oxblood streak--kind weird for sure but very cool. The first one is just a killer example-luv the colors involved. Prize names were not a "Just" they were some of the finest made by Akro imho. Marble--On!!

Nice biggies here. I do not recall seeing them so well covered--Nice score! Marble--On!!

Wow that is a big one-- Imperial is not out of the question imho (a weak one). I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more-- Marble--On!!
