akroorka

The seller listed it wrong. This one is an Akro Popeye. Blocks Auctions would have payed up in spades with this one--even minus the allotment. Nice find and share Wolf. Marble--On!!

Good eye Roberto! Still not Gaudy--lol--just Killer!! Marble--On!!

Post a link Wolf. This is OK to do. Marble--On!!

Tommy has sucked it up and volunteered to become a Moderator. Please welcome him with open arms and give him the same respect that you give to @bumblebee, @Steph @Chad G.—little ole me and @Melissa. We need the help sooner than later and I am happy to welcome Tommy—He deserves it for sure. Marble—On Tommy!!

I always appreciate the transparent glass--your glass here is stellar. The big bubbles along with the colors involved make this one a "Foot Breaker"--lol. Be carefull with these in sunlight as a display--they may start a fire, just sayin. (no, I am not kidding) Nice image! Marble--On!!

Hey JunkyJen, You will get better results by posting each marble/marbles(3-4 at a time) in a seperate post. A new post with a "catchy" Header will attract much more attention. Vacor, "Spumoni" or "Parrot"--many names may apply to these, Vacor is a master of re-naming marbles. I believe that the Parrot did not have a "Lustered finish" ( "Lustered" meaning a chromish like finish that was sprayed onto the marble as it rolled down the rollers to be formed and cooled)--The Spumoni did for sure--still does ( It is also called a "Mermaid"). I appreciate all comments and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a CAC swirl that may involve a "Turkey Head". Image one needs to be turned up a bit to the right to reveal the whole thing here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I love it too!--Gaudy? We all love Gaudy here. I would be hard pressed to call it Chinese. ( maybe--I just doubt it) I think that a marble craftsperson went wild with this one in the good ole USA. I could see Lady Gaga wearing this as an amulet of sorts. "Abracadabra"--- Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

We are all kids here--some of us are just way older kids Zzzzzzzz💤. ( maybe a snore mixed in). Imperial sold a whole bunch of cool marbles. The Marbles that Imperial sold have been fooling many collectors for years. It is just a fact that they came from a multitude of countries. I just wish that I could break the code about who made what. Just do a search--Imperial Toy Company was bankrupt about six years ago and purchased by Ja-Ru ( Japenese firm ?). @shiroaiko is a master @recearching. This may be a new endeavor for her--or not--just sayin. Marble--On!!

Ummm--- I do not know if Jabo was allowed to dump into creeks any more. Do not let this stop you--dig away--just make sure that it is legal--or get a bunch of friends to look out for you --lol. Marble--On!!!

I agree--check it and get back to us. Clean up your images--lock your elbows into your ribs--steady, steady--shoot. Sit down if you have to--who cares? Crop them to the edges of the marble and post some more images. Good luck! Marble--On!

I have seen a handfull of these that were used as "Polishing Media". They were made for several reasons but polishing a variety of manufactured items in a tumbler was probably the most used. Mine were all scar-ed up with a flat or "raspy" finish to them. Not worth a whole lot of money--just a cool find to me--and an education that came along with them ---which is priceless. Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!

Ravenswood made more 9/16" sizes than they did any other size. Just as an example, Akro made buzillions more marbles than Ravenswood but Akro are hard to find in this size, trust me I have tried to find them. This one lines up with a Ravenswood but you never know. It is a WVS and I like it. Maybe @cheese will check in here and give us a good ID. Marble--On!!

This is a tuff one--lol. I am leaning towards Vacor. Ya just never know do ya? Marble--On!!

Good call Steph. These were from the time when 7-up came in glass bottles. My Grandma would keep these bottles in the cupboard with a cork pushed into the top after she opened them. The same thing with her beer--she liked it warm. Marble--On!!

X2, a pretty nice one at that. I love thrifting too--welcome to the board--keep them coming. Marble--On!!

Good job my marble collecting friend. A very nice display idea as well. Keep it going--What is next? Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a Vacor. No name from me. Marble--On!!

Lol🤪--- you mean your are starting a marble addiction right? Welcome Pete2226 to "TheMarbleConnection" the oldest marble board on Planet Earth--maybe the whole Galaxy. I may be mental here-- but my first thought was Peltier Rainbo. Both Vitro and Peltier made some very strong--"well cooked" transparent glass. I have been wrong before--before--before this. (many times before this) I can take my lumps and move on. Just food for thought. Marble--On!!

Sometimes you have to look away from the colors and focus on the construction. If Vitro, it would be a weird "Whitie" if Peltier--a weird "Rainbo". The colors line up with both companies--the blow outs do not. I do not remember many Vitro with all-out chip surrounded blow holes. Peltiers are known for this so I lean towards Peltier Rainbo. Nice share--interesting for sure. Marble--On!!

Search for the cutlines on this one, they do not line up with the white vs transparent. The white shows an orangish glow--possible opalescent glass. I think that you have a Vitro "Conqueror" here. Marble--On!!

I agree with Wolf. I would not call it a swirl--but a catseye instead. This one saw some good play--love it. It could be another--state you impressions here, we all will welcome them. Marble--On!!

This is a one inch marble, consider the size here. I am on the fence about this one. Vacor ( a weird "Sunset) or--the Akro digs did find some similar to this one--larger sized. The older collectors (yep-older than me😁) called them "Sparklers, I never really got it there. I think that Alox is just not right, I may be wrong--nice research though. All opinions are appreciated. Marble--On!!

This one came from the British Isles imho. Nice Marble. Nice images as well--- All opinions are welcomed. Marble—On!!
