All of the trades that I do are by "Personal Message" only. I can pick and choose that way--I have never been disapointed. Lets let this dog lie as it is imho. Marble--On!!

-
This is a machine made marble imho. Well used then into the fire. I might just call it a Master Made Marble. Marble--On!!

That is a pretty small slag---you may be right😁. Marble--On!!

This one is a Jabo--production for the masses from the factory--- not a special run. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Size always matters in marbles ID. It is a Pelt Rainbo imho--nice one !! Marble--On!!
-
Thanks for that. I do not recognize this one as a USA made marble. Marble--On!!
-
Did I miss the size? This one does look like a batch glass marble imho. The white is intense and the green--well I have not seen it before. This one is a keeper--I cannot call it ID wise. Marble--On!!

Agreed Ric--very cool though. Marble--On!!

Hi there. Just to show you what got me started
akroorka replied to oohlala's topic in Introduce Yourself!
OK--sort them and set aside the multi-colored marbles, just a start. I know that you have a whole lot of them--post them in groups of ten/twenty and we will sort them out for you--just give us the very nice ones with no damage. Images under sunlight are the best and crop them with a look at the marbles only. This looks like a great group and this is only a start. Your first marbles are worth some serious money. I love to see a working women's/mans hands--you deserve this imho. You may be a member here for quite some time. We will help you out for sure--@TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!! -
X2--All red!! Marble--On!!

Just take your time and be rewarded. Marble--On!!

The base on this one is the transparent--the white will show the opalescence. Usually "White" is the opalescent color in most marbles and it is hard to tell when red is involved in the marble. How Akro made opalescent "Flinties" is still a mystery to me. Marble--On!!
-
Or right on Fire--- Marble--On!!
-
That purple is very cool and I usually associate that color with a Vitro made marble. They are both Imperials--nice ones though. Marble--On!!
-
Size is 5/8"-9/16"? This one needs a Jabo expert's opinion imho-- I am stumped and will pull my Akro teeth back in😁. Marble--On!!
-
Right on Fire!--You had me guessing-----lol---not!!!!! It is still round and cool!!! Nice post!. Love it--- Marble--On!!
-
You need better images for sure here. It is an Oxblood--an Akro. It will react to UV light. It reminds me so much of the Akro toy Plates that I have to post one to follow here.

I am going with five according to the original rub marks that I have seen in these boxes, they are long, the rub marks--six would be ---too tight and 5/8" just would not fit. Great question Ric, You are getting me back into the older notes here--I love it. I show one below, an Original with a new row of five😉 .👍. Yes those are "Moonies" in the middle row and "Flinties in the far right row, 9/16"all. I just remembered that I just love this stuff . Oh by the way--the OG has to be a Flintie or we will be spanked again. Help us out here in "The Marble Jungle". Great stuff marblemanvintagemarbles! Marble--On!!

😁Yah--right. Thanks for all that you do Ric. Marble--On!

Flinties came as small as 9/16" Ric. Doubled, this would be less than 3/4". There was one row of these 9/16” on the right hand side of the #150 Akro Tin ( between the insert box and the tin)—sometimes other 9/16”Akro such as corkscrews or even patches were included. The best #150 boxes have the Flinties imho—very hard to find in all five colors, this was the way. The OP was just finished a bit more on one side imho. Study the cut-lines closely--both sides of the OP have one to be seen from the images given. I am just hoping that it is a "Flintie"--it would be a rare find. The blue ones are not easy to ID. If it is just a double “Gamer”—still pretty cool. I just love these marbles (Flinties)—and this stuff—Marbles as well!! Marble--On!!

I like this stuff Ric, As you know, I am into Lego. I have a big south facing window that I set up in . I soak up the sun along with my dogs, listen to music and keep the mind busy. Great stuff! Marble--On!!
