  1. These are WVS imho. I suck at WVS ID's and hope to see the rest of the folks chime in. Nice ones for sure!! Marble--On!!
  2. This is a rare box that I have been hunting for years. Yes I did pay up—not too bad considering the time and date. The number five boxes are reproduced and refilled because of the way that things work in any collectable. The number five boxes are more common than they should be because of the amount of them found in flats and refilled. The number fives were also reproduced in a way that you may want to research. This is a number 10---very rare. It has been speculated that these were made after the number fives. I wonder? These are the original marbles to the box—all are Master Glass, sixty one—if I counted right. There was not much more room for any others. This is the very best that I have ever seen. I just love this stuff---Keep on hunting!!!! Marble—On!!
  3. Not an Akro Steph--I agree-- Macine made for sure Chad---good eye! What attracted me to comment on this marble is the deep opaque white. The deep extreme white is generally associated with “Batch Glass” or glass made from a recipe vs that from cullet glass. The electricity of the yellow is compounded by the deep white—it is a very nice yellow—very nice indeed. I propose that this is a dug CAC that has been fixed. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Martble—On!!
  4. Welcome SF2KY and thanks for the story behind the marbles. All New news to me as well--very cool. Marble--On!!
  5. The glass maker must have arms like a blacksmith. Pretty cool! Marble--On!!
  6. Welcome Nancie-----------we all love marbles here! Show us what you have--please and thankyou. Marble--On!!
  7. Some cool Akro "Dug" Marbles--I can never get enough of these. Marble--On!!
  8. An Iridescent finish on a marble is a hard thing to get an image of in my experience. As I recall, this shiny exterior is sprayed on the marbles as it rolls down on the rollers while the glass is still scorching hot. Many Asian and Chinese companies use this method as well as Vacor de Mexico. There were a few USA companies that did it as well. Recall some of the later Vitros and MK’s. I do not recognize this marble—e-nuff said. I wish you luck in the ID of ths one—size always matters in Marble ID. Marble—On!!
  9. Nice shots bumblebee. I recieved one earlier this year which you could feel the facets quite clearly--even with my sausage fingers with gardening thick skin. I tried to get a good image and failed--miserably. Marble--On!!
  10. Anything Round right? Very cool Ric and some some nice bling as well. I would have been there if I saw them first😃. Marble--On!!
  11. I will also admit to opening a couple of bags of these. They are just a joy to hold and look at. Some of the brightest colors out there for sure. Marble—On!!
  12. LOL that is where it all started. I wore overalls in my teens--cut-off with no shirt. ( way back when my knuckles dragged on the ground🦍) Marble--On!!
  13. Sorry Fire--If the left hand one is a Conqueror---get ready to feed me my shorts. I appreciate anyone trying to feed me my shorts🤪. I do not wear shorts by the way🤢. Pure commando am I. (except for funerals and weddings) All opinions are needed and appreciated Marble--On!!
  14. Not an Atmo imho--but it does have a look like a Vacor. It may be a contemp though--good eye. Marble--On!!
  15. I agree with Chad, It is a Vacor--of some sort. Vacor is no different from any other marble making company. Sometimes colors get mixed where they should not be. It may be a cross-over type. They keep the production moving between color changes, the more they make the better--"Do not stop--keep the glass flowing". On to the next make and model. Marble--On!!
  16. X2--Nice one for sure. Great find!! Marble--On!!
  17. This one may have been made by Master Glass Co. There is a great difference imho between Master Glass and Master Made Marbles. It could aslo be a dug "experimental" from the Akro site. Those would be my two options--it does not ring any English Whispler Bells for me at least I appreciate all opinions--really I do! Marble--On!!
  18. It may be a Pelt--It may be an Alley. I have seen some pretty wacked out Pelts so I would not rule it out. I will lean towards Pelt here. Nice marble regardless of condition!! Marble--On!!
  19. First of all--this is a top notch Master Made Marble! A tough one for sure. Colors and cutlines Fire. Image number four---2/3rds vs 1/3rd fill. This may help you in the future. Marble--On!!
  20. Nice marble! Any further discussion would be better served in the ID section imho. Marble—On!!
  21. If you find a fold like this--Peltier all the way. Marble--On!!
  22. Those images are top notch Dave 13--just as they should look--great job!! Nice marbles!! marble--On!!
  23. I know where it came from--- "but" I have never seen one like this before😁. This is just a great Akro! I have never seen one like this before either. Thanks for sharing it teajayo!! Marble--On!!
  24. Good guess imho. The left hand one is the earlier model. It wants to be a "Buttermilk"--it just does not meet the criteria however. This is a very nice marble regardless of any name. The right hand one---well these big ones do not always act like they should--it may be an early "All Red"---with no red😁. I appreciate all opinions and wish for some more. @Steph has a pretty good handle on this type of Vitro. I hope that she chimes in. Marble--On!!
