  1. Yep--a nice one--notice the AV in the green? Marble--On!!
  2. Unintentional Aventurine is always a thing in any green color from any marble maker from around the entire planet. It is a common thing to find in any marble that includes the color green—even Akro. It has to do with the glass recipe in some shape or form or use. @Alan more than likely has a better explaination of this and I hope that he chimes in. Saying that, some Akroware had some intense UV in the green colors that had to be intentional imho. Some of those two tab ashtrays just light up with it. Marble—On!!
  3. "Rainbow" for MK "Rainbo" for Peltier. It is a MK and this one, if it was totally covered, with no white showing would be a great one. This is the deal with some of the vintage MK regarding collectors’ wishes. The less white showing the more value—in most cases at least. These are the classic Veneered type of marble—the early MK’s. Nice find! Marble—On!!
  4. "Moss Agate" would not be in my description here, Ric. I know what you are talking about though--an Akro Patch with similar colors involved. The cutlines look like Akro but some of these bigger cutlines can be associated with Vitro as well. To tell the truth--I am on board with Fire here although "Veneered" more than usually means colors over white base glass. I would be surprised if it glowed. I am on the fence here—ouch! Nice find—nice images! Great marble—that baby blue really is a fine color in any marble. Marble—On!!
  5. Hmmm, I want to say Akro but that small blue cap makes me think Vitro. Regardless of the ID, this one came from the ground--not a pouch, bag or box. It was never for sale as an original imho. Notice the straitions and the almost ground places as if from grinding against a rock or rubble. The marbles that I get out of my garden from time to time do not show this type of damage and some come out as "Mint". I would call it a Dug Patch--maybe even a MK. Marble--On!!
  6. @Fire1981 likes to call these "flickers". I agree--nice find. Marble--On!!
  7. Love it--keep the search going on. Marble--On!!
  8. Do you see the orange reflections in the images? Opalescent glass is involved here, the white--pretty cool imho. This one is a Vitro "Conqueror". A common marble that may include some special finds such as yours. Thanks for sharing it along with the nice images that you have worked very hard on. Marble--On!!
  9. These Akro orange on orange corks can be a hard ID for sure. Akro X2 imho. Nice find. Great images as well. Marble--On!!
  10. I agree with not Akro. MK or possibly a Vitro imho. @Melissa may have some input here. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  11. MK Rainbow X3. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  12. The lighter colored clay part reminds me of an Akro crow, that along with the darker part including the striations in image #1 make me think “Dug Akro”. The orange is right in there as well. This is my final answer. Marble--On!!
  13. Nice marble--very clean. Did PPP.s come in this color? Marble--On!!
  14. It is wacky--might just be a Pelt--Cool find! Marble--On!!
  15. Nice grouping Wolf--I love it. Marble--On!!
  16. Well--not that many for sure. They seem to be almost as common as a Popeye for sale of this type though--maybe a few hundred thousand--or less--they were all put up for sale to collectors and all collectors were in the market for such. Yeh, I know, a pickup truck full of old wooden boxes full--that is still a bunch of marbles-but let’s get real. These are some of the most collectable "dumped Marbles" ever. (with the exception of most of the river dumped CAC) I always wanted one or two of these Akro type and I have a few--e-nuff said. Nothing to be ashamed of owning--just part of the history of Akro Agate. Marble--On!!
  17. Nice group--for sure! Marble--On!!
  18. There are pleny of Akro Cokscrews that meet up with this ones colors and design--this one is just a lonely stepchild that did not meet the mark. Keep it close to your heart and cherise it. Marble--On!!
  19. I feel comfy cally this one a Akro Agate Slag. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  20. I agree with all that has been posted for sure. Let me add this; it may have been one that rolled down the cold air exchange and landed on some coal which was heating the furnace for the home. I may have been in a house fire also—or just some kids like me back in the day throwing stuff on a fire. It has Fire damage—nothing from the Factory imho--cool find! Marble—On!!
  21. I think that Fire is very close to the size here which is always important. This is one very nice looking Pelt Rainbo imho. Crop up the images and put it in sunlight in the future for a better ID as your marbles come along. This one is a lock imho. Marble--On!!
  22. I am a Dink too--an AkroDink--nuf said here. Thanks for stepping in Nantucket-- Marble--On!!
  23. Jabo Classic X2-- Marble--On!!
