  1. https://www.ebay.com/itm/226077568904?itmmeta=01HTTHMN5899MEA8G5NNV2RGEJ&hash=item34a345ef88:g:U3wAAOSwMdpmDe47 A very nice bunch of marbles!! The container is not too shabby either. Marble—On!!
  2. Is that the "Sphere" in Las Vegas? Killer--what ever it may be. Marble--On!!
  3. Thanks Steph, I think that these originals with the brown included were more of a limited production marble. The boxes were made and purchased--stockpiled and the more colorful “Uniques’” were sold as such. The boxes that were recently being sold on e-bay are very “unique” to each other for sure and they are all Akro. I really doubt that the sale to Master had anything to do with the naming of these. Of course—this is all speculation and I just love this stuff---- Marble—On!!
  4. I love it too------but size always matter in marbles ID. Marble--On!!
  5. Akro "game marbles" often had a glow to them and I believe that many other makers did as well. Do not be surprised to find an Akro "Flinty" or a "Moonie" involved with a box of gamers. I have found them--you will too. Marble--On!!
  6. If only I could trust my wife to sort marbles--what a gem Mojo! Marble--On!!
  7. A Helmut with OX--prettty nice ! Marble--On!!
  8. Yes--pretty rare to find in my world though. A rare size as well. These are quite simple to the untrained eye—but pretty rare to find in my world though. Check it for UV reaction.--if you check them closely --they are even rarer. Try to line up five ---or ten of the same. This is what I do. Nice marble!! Marble—On!!
  9. This is the only Akro of this type that I have ever found. I believe that it is a "Hero". Marble--On!!
  10. Welcome back sillyworm! Marble--On!!
  11. That is a very nice find for sure! It looks like a little oxblood is inculded---nice! Marble--On!!
  12. Spam with peanut butter--maybe---
  13. I agree with Vitro--nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  14. The books are what they are--they are a good start for sure. Hero’s shown in the books and Unique’s as well are a very rare thing to find individually, let alone in a box full. I will stand by my assessment of "Unique’s" in the more generally found ones. Akro changed up many ID’s of the marbles that they sold—these that I show are more common—yet rare in the box form. I appreciate all comments and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  15. I wish that I could find this one--- I just figured it to be a weird "Zebra". Marble--On!!
  16. We all appreciate you and your asking for help--keep them coming! Marble--On!!
  17. Imho--the op is a Jabo--classic. I am just sayin-- Marble--On!!
  18. While my wife was pregnant with our first boy we went to a not so local restaurant for our anniversary. She ordered a seafood platter—surprise---one item on the platter had bones involved, like chicken bones. They turned out to be “Frog Legs”. They grossed her out—I munched them up—lol. Frog legs --on!!

    Akro?

    Ummm?---It is not an Akro--I agree for sure. This one needs some more opinions for sure. Regardless of the maker--it is a "top notch" marble. I will throw Pelt into the mix here. @Chad G. or @cheese will tell the tale for sure. Marble--On!!
  20. Akro Corkscrew! It may be a lazy one but I would put it with my corks for sure. Nice find! Marble--On!!
