Well I blew this ID--- But--if it were "polished" it would not show any of the orange peel texture that your marbles shows. A polished marble will show no defects like this—they are very hard to spot—“polished marbles”. Sometimes it takes a loupe---I just hate a “polished” Machine Made Marble—just hate the effort that went into trying to rip a collector off—nothing new for sure—just educate yourself and move on. The older collectors that may know the difference are slowly dying off and u-tube amongst others are more than willing to show how to do it. Sorry to Rant on—just my feelings here. Marble—On!!

Nice looking Rainbo--some cool factory defects are involved. Marble--On!!

Nice find--this type deserves to be in every collection--top notch! Marble--On!!

Akro--no doubt--a nice "Patch". These also came in a corkscrew pattern which are just killer--nice find--nice marble. Marble--On!!

I agree with "Black Panther". Nice Akro Fire!! Marble--On!!

This is a Master Made Marble inho. The thing that makes it "different" is the cutmark that I show below. Master Made Marbles almost always have a smooth cutmark or seam as the other side shows. This one has enough reveal to put a finger nail in--pretty weird imho.

The image above this comment--the two yellow and black--Akro--pretty sure--nice ones. The images shows some sparkle in those two--maybe dust--maybe AV which would be reaa--lllly rare. Show these two cleaned up and close up👀. The MK marbles all have a white base below the colors--the Akro marbles will not--they are solid color right down to the center. Nice bunch-- Marble--On!!

It is a "Moonie"--glass marble--probably an Akro. Marble--On!!

Nice find!! Marble--On!

X2 Marble--On!!

The "muddes" never get respect--I love -em. Marble--On!!

It is a Peltier--they both are! What a nice find!! Nice clear glass--few bubbles- nice size--very cool--and weird also. Let's call in @Chad G. and @cheesefor a final eval. I have not seen these before at this size. If you list them--let us know. Marble--On!!

I see it too Mojo--this one is from the good ole USA imho--probably an Alley. Marble--On!!

OK just over 5/8" along with the others--it has been at the very least been "buffed". The original images do not show the final product—what a drag—the OG was so cool—even with the damage. The final product is a rip off of the original marble image imho. I just hate this stuff—the og was well worth being left alone, all damage aside. Just mho---- Marble—On!!

This one is is original condition---asian--no maker from me--probably from the 60's-70's. Machine made imho. Marble--On!!

Nice bigger one--Woodie? Love it Fire! Marble--On!!

Killer set of four marboman! Love--em! Marble--On!!

I love a good blow hole in a Pelt--really quite normal in my experience. This one is not a "peewee" closer to 5/8" imho--maybe larger This one is a huge blow hole--love it! @Fire1981 and I love this stuff! Marble--On!!

I agree--not much monetery value here--but being "Grandmas"--well worth keeping in a jar in the window. Marble--On!!

"Why" is why you post here--the answers are always close to the heart at "The Marble Connection". We all love a seperate base of these cute little orbs and all are willing to give the best regardless of any ego involved. Few toes are stepped on here--we all respect each other and this is what makes this place so great. I just love this stuff--Akro especially. Marble--On!!

Good eye VaMarbles--I agree--more images are needed--sharper and just a few at a time please. Marble--On!!

Sorry Mojo, I cannot get past that purple Veli in image #5—just a killer marble. I agree with Chad on the others. Marble—On!!

Size always matters—nuff said. I looked at this one for a long, long, long--- time. More images are needed of the cut marks imho but---I do think that Akro Agate is not out of the question. These are Akro colors--a very weird combo but very cool indeed---very cool!!! Popeye??---backlight it in any future images—maybe—but who cares really. A really nice nice marble!!! Marble—On!!

I am right there with Al--very nice cats! Marble--On!!

There is no such thing as a boring marble thread as far as I consider--I love them all! I love "bennies" but my wife loves them more. Here is and old box that I found for her treasures. Marble--On!!
