The thing about Whisplers. They all look good--bigger or smaller. Marble--On!!

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!!

Whispler--all day long! Marble--On!!

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!!

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!!

Another possible Buttermilk but probably notā¦.
akroorka replied to DSCary's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Research "Akro Tri Colored" swirls in the og box. You may find a few of these imho. Marble--On!! -
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!!

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!!

I will take a guess here--they are all roundš. 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!!

List the sizes and crop the images better. The yellow one has me thinking. Marble--On!!
-
Cool Vitro imho. Marble--On!!

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!!

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").

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!!
-
I think that Akro is correct--Prizename--no. Maybe an Imperial? Marble--On!!

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 saladāblanched, cooled and dressed. Olive oil mashed potatoes (I cheated here and used some leftover jars of gravy from Thanksgivingānot too shabby really). There are leftoversāyumm, I cannot wait. I just love this stuff---cooking and preparing meals. Sadly, my wifeās 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!

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 āgame marbleā. Nice work! Nice find! It is a pretty marble, orange is pretty rare in any machine made marble. MarbleāOn!!

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

A new un-named model out of Mega Marbles / Vacor Asst Net Bags?
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I did a simple search on E-bay--"Traditional Marbles". Vacor seems to fit quite well here. Marble--On!!
