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!!

Welcome back raynsandy! We are glad to have you back in the fold and it is good to see you making some awesome marbles once again. Keep them coming! Marble--On!!

If you have never seen Elizabeth A. Kempski’s book, “ The World of Cat’s Eye Marbles”, this may be the time to check it out. She displays a bunch of different marbles with a variety of names and spellings. I know that she has posted here but it has been some time—maybe @Steph can pick her out for us. I do not think that there is a right or wrong way—just many ways. I always thought that Master Glass had the best—“Cat’s Eye” for a name in a header. Marble—On!!

I agree with double ingot--Flintie? Backlight it. These blue ones will show some opalecence in my experience. Flinties of this type will usually look like an opaque marble until you backlight them. Backlight them all!!😁. Flinties often show up in boxes of game marbles. If it is just opaque--not a Flintie. Marble--On!!

This is a WVS imho--nice big bubble--is there any AV? Pretty common in my experience--no maker from me. Marble--On!!

Image six shows a classic “straight on shot” that busted out around the perimeter—maybe an almost bust out. This would not happen in a Jabo imho. It may have met up with a Stone Agate at some point (just musing). I agree with William— It would be a very big Master—even cooler imho. Marble—On!!

It is a Jabo--from the production runs--not the "Contracts" imho. I appreciate all opinions--- Some of these big Jabo are just killer marbles if you can find them without all of the hit marks that we are experienced with finding. This is a nice marble regardless of the maker--Love it! Marble--On!!

Alley Agate imho. Nice find!! All opinions are appreciated and welcomed--- Marble--On!!

Nice Master imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Akro to me as well--pretty cool! Marble--On!!

Cool eylashes--just sayin-- Imperial imho. Marble--On!!

Whatever is round right Fire? Pretty cool-- Marble--On!!

Nice Marble!! Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a Jabo. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Pretty wierd--it may be a "fish tank" Marble. Marble--On!!

I will just throw Heaton out there and see if it sticks. Marble--On!!

None Ric--pretty cool that you have a few. Have there ever been any Master Digs? Marble--On!!

Great stuff as always Al. Marble--On!!

I cannot really tell what you have there. The "crows" that I have seen are all around 3/4". Unless you are a giant😁--those look more like 5/8". Marble--On!!

Good stuff Ric---or bad. We would not have Cats if not for this idea. Nice history for sure. I would have never put the two together--"Uncle Jack" who would have guessed?? Great stuff!! Marble--On!!

Ohh--good call! Marble--On!!

The true "Crows" are a rare find. They were all dug. Marble--On!!

Well, here is one for @Al Oregon. I could not pass on these bags. Two lots were sold and I could not hold back on the second posting with the marble in the header—"Made in Japan". This stuff just gets you sometimes and I was dreaming of passing on the first lot—then a second showed up—oh well, as you all know. “If you have never seen it before—buy it”. Notice the “square” staples here. There are a bunch of fake bags out there--but who would go through the trouble to make these is what I dreamed about. Trust your instincts and your dreams as well. These are the very coolest Cat’s-Eye Bags that I have ever seen. Marble—On!!

Good eye Ric--it seems to be a bit out of sorts to me as well. Marble--On!!
