  1. I highly doubt that Vacor used anything but clear based glass as far as Atmospheres’ go. I would recheck yours my marble collecting friend. They may be something else—of course---------. This is just my opinion based on what I have seen and collected/researched. I appreciate all opinions and respect them all. Marble—On!!
  2. This is truth--no doubt about it--🐎.
  3. Age is just a number my friend! Keep on keepin on!!
  4. I agree-- it looks like an Akro "Tricolor" patch more than anything to me. Marble--On!! I will have to re-check my Pelts Fire. If I find one it is all yours. The term "Bifurcated" is realtively new to me 4-5 years maybe. Marble--On!!
  5. It looks like an Akro slag to me Fire. Marble--On!!

  18. It is a killer Pelt--maybe I am too old--These days--who knows. Marble--On!!
  19. I agree with Ric--True Peewees are 1/2" or less---no squeezing the calipers. Just not peewees that you have--close is no cigar it is a requirement. Still pretty small for an Akro cork! Marble--On!!
  20. I have not seen any Akro literature listing sizes for sale that included anything under #00 or 9/16”. That being said, The Popeye boxes were filled with a peewee placed on top of the pouch. As I recall they were Popeye Patch types. Collectors call the little ones Swee’ Pea after Popeyes little (adopted) Son/Pal. 9/16” Akros are a hard find for me unless they are the “oxblood patch” type which seems to have quite a few in this size. The thing is, if Akro produced 9/16” marbles there are bound to be a few peewees floating around. That is just the way in the manufacturing of marbles. I have seen a few peewee patches—never a corkscrew--- in my hand anyhow. So yes—they are pretty rare imho. Always check a rare peewee of any maker for any signs of polishing. Marble—On!!
  21. I do not grow pumpkins-Canned Tuna in water rocks! (right out of the can)
  22. Here is an Amazon link to the book-- https://www.amazon.com/Arnold-Fiedler-Glass-Marble-Excellence/dp/1456737023 Read the reviews. Marble--On!!
