It looks pretty refined to me--I would say not modern. @shiroaiko and @YasudaCollector may have an opinion here. @Ric has done some research into these as well. I love the marble. These two colors in one orb just light me up. Marble--On!!

Nice marble---Vacor "Dragon-Fly? @Melissa will know for sure. What a beautiful marble, regardless of the ID here Marble--On!!

This may explain a few things. I have three "Akro Champions poutches"--they are huge. 9"x5". 1926, 1928 and 1931. Finding these is like finding a laying Rooster. They will be preserved for sure but the info on these is nill. I talked to Roger Hardy about them--maybe I should call him back with more questions. Thanks and Marble--On!! -
Right on Ric! Marble--On!!

Great stuff here bumblebee. Have you ever come across anything regarding the Akro tournaments? Marble—On!!
-
"Jorkscrew" imho.(is this right--the nickname?) A Jabo that looks like a corkscrew. Nice find! Marble--On!!

akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I would love to help--they do look like a Vacor to me--but I do not recognize any of these name wise. @Melissa may have some input to share here. Marble--On!! -
X3---Marble--On!!

Consider Vacor here--a "Rooster" of some sort. Marble--On!!
-
"Mill Balls" were used in the polishing process of a variety of items. Throw what ever into a revolving tank with these and they get polished. It still happens today in some sort. Cool find! Marble--On!!

Very nice find Fire! I would be fired up too. Marble--On!!
-
The green and yellow here are deep colors. Nice "Popeye" Marble--On!!
-
Vacor it is imho. These "Roosters" come in a bunch of different shades and names. Some are more translucent than yours, some have transparent base glass (red of course). These bigger ones will no doubt show a more opaque base glass just because of the depth. This is of course my opinion, and I appreciate them all. Marble—On!!

I am overdue to welcome you here @TheMarbleConnection John. Welcome and show us what you have--this is a fun place to be but never expect immediate answers. This is not Facebook--we are older and slower but still have the best info on the web imho😁. Marble--On!!
-
I will chime in on the first one. This is a Master "Comet" imho. Lets test the last one also--either a Jabo Classic---or I do not know😁. I appreciate all comments and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
I would call the Cat eyes by Vacor (Mexico). Nice bunch! Marble--On!!
-
This is a very nice share--Thanks! Marble--On!!
-
A nice wagon to ride Fire. Keep it coming! Marble--On!!
-
Ohhh--you upped the anty? I will comment on the first one--mor un-absorbed minerals that are commonly called AV--not intentional though imho. I think that the fianl one may be an Imperial(maybe a Vacor) @Melissa or @Mojowill have an opinion here for sure. Nice change up!

This is the best answer imho. Lick it! ( I would--what the heck?) And find out for sure. Marble--On!!

Yes these Michaelangelo were often confused with Pelts--this one is the real deal-- a Peltier. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
-
Big long cutlines--breaks at the cutlines showing white below--hmmm. I would call this one a Vitro. I have never seen one this out of round--pretty cool. Marble--On!!
-
Yep--pretty weird. A "patch confetti". There are very few folks that can ID a "Vitro Confetti" if that is what you are thinking. Butttttt-this one looks like it came from a dig to me. Hold on to it for the future "what ifs" imho. Nice find and great investigation! Marble--On!!
-
Slags have one color in the base glass and white--such as purple and white, green and white yellow and white-etc-- the base glass is always transparent. Marble--On!!

This one is an Akro cork that was cought not corking by quality control. A dug Akro--- imho of course. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
