Augers have the color going down the middle of the marble--like an auger or Ice/ Earth drill--like a drill bit--if you know what I mean. Nice marble--cool colors! Marble--On!!

I agree with Fire--nice marble! Probably a wvs of some sort--vintage--probably an Alley Agate imho. Marble--On!!

Good job for sure with the images! This one is a white “Flintie”—and an Akro “Moonie” at the same time. I have never seen the difference. These white “Flinties” are a hard find if you consider them different from “Moonies”—they may be thicker such as you show but I doubt that. “Flintie” boxes just showed more colors with the same reaction to uv or opalescent light. This marble made my month—maybe this year of the very best find. You did your work and research and I respect it for sure. Too many collectors pass on this type as game marbles and toss them aside without the time and fraction that it takes to ID marbles. This is a great marble that many do not recognize. Is it worth much money? No--just a very cool find--very cool!! Good job!!! Marble--On!!

Given the images--I would call this one veneered--in hand is always the best but in this case--I would call it a Vitro. If you were to crack this one open--I would expect white inside. Marble--On!!

Tell me that that one came from a chicken--lol. Love it! Marble--On!!

I have to cross out Akro and Vitro here for some reason, it is almost a cross between the two. WVS imho---regardless of the ID, it is a nice find---and a very nice marble to look at. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

It was intended to be a corkscrew and I do not cut lines here like some folks that I respect deeply. This one is a cork in my world--just not too "corky". Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

Lets call in @shiroaiko and @YasudaCollector for an opinion here. @Mojo may have to weigh in as well. Marble--On!!

Nice marble--almost an Alley in looks here and there. The size limits this one to just a few makers of machine made marbles. Pelt, Akro, Alley and Jabo--Master did make some big ones too. This one is a Jabo "Classic" imho. Marble--On!!

Good job at ID! Thanks for sharing it Marble--On!!

I have a few puddles too--muddie piles--LOL. Great stuff! Marble--On!!

I agree with Ric especially in this instance. The ox in this one is the same as what is commonly found in a Silver oxblood---runny more bloody--not so thick and not so showy--if you know what I mean. In my humble experience--this type of base glass holds up under wear better than a silver. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Nice marble--"Rattle Snake" imho--from the good ole USA. Nice find!! marnle--On!!

Here is an odd one--- Marble--On!!

We can never be sure of that but I am glad to see that you backed off on the box description. These did show up together in some rare and desirable “Popeye Boxes”, Probably at 5/8” or maybe –just maybe--@11/16”. The oxblood marbles that Akro made always included non-oxbloods of the same nature—swirls. Some colors did not mix well with the oxblood theme. Nice marbles—very nice! Marble—On!!

This I can appreciate Ric and respect as well. Annealing fractures is what we are used to calling these--hot marbles on cold rollers. They just cooled too fast and cracked, like a minature earthquake. The inside was hot, the outside was too --but not as hot--ooopps a crack formed. No argument here from me. I always appreciate your input. Thanks for being who you are--- Marble--On!!

Oh--by the way--a Master "brushed patch" would show the white on the surface--rarely deeper than that. It would look like you actually took a brush and slapped some color on the outside of the orb. Marble—On!!

For some reason, I appreciate a fracture or two. Consider that this one made it down the line--past inspection and into the market--obviously never played with and into the fingers of a collector who loves it. It is easy to find fractures in MK marbles--not too common in Vitro imho. I just love this kind of stuff if you consider the history of the marble itself. This poor little guy/gal finally found a home and I love it. Great marble! Marble--On!!

Me too--lets ask @Melissa for an eval here--she knows her MK marbles for sure. Marble--On!!

It is still a MK--just prettier. Nice job! Marble--On!!

Vitro--yes--the oxblood is just a thing that happened--hard to explain. Nice find. Marble--On!!

What Fire says for sure--nice marble. @Ric is checking in from time to time--he is the Vitro guy all day long. Marble--On!!

These clays--some of them--were made in Ohio and probably others places in the USA as well. @akronmarbles knows more about these than any that I can think of. Lets call him on the phone here and see if he answers. Marble--On!!

I agree with @Fire1981--nice marble! Marble--On!!

It is always exciting to find a "nine" in any marble. Great images! If you were to take a few out of a mint box of Akro game marbles and highlight them like you did here--you may be amazed. I appreciate the fact that you took your time and did this one justice. I like it and the passion that you show for collectable marbles. Thanks for the work involved and of course sharing it with us here. Marble--On!!
