Agreed for sure. 9/16" corkscrews are a hard find. An Akro peewee is a patch imho. Marble--On!1

I have read all of the comments and I appreciate all of them. I had to get away from them and restart. I get the lower left one with what appears to be some white showing through is as though it may be veneered. I punched up the images—Great ones by the way Melissa!!! Patches are hard-I looked very hard--- All are Akro imho. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

I agree with Master but it most certainly was worth a closer look because if it was a Pelt—which I thought as well, it would be a weird/nice one. The left one may be a Jabo but the colors remind me of Heaton. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

Kaysons Marble box—give me your best.
akroorka replied to akroorka's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Thanks Cheese. I agree. When I lifted the insert from the box these little chits just lifted from vacuum and littered the floor. I just found another chit today--very cool to find one like this indeed. Marble--On!! -
Great minds think alike. I would love to see some better images of this one Melissa. It has me fired up for some reason. Marble--On!!

Blue and gray swirls I don't know what they are
akroorka replied to mibby wonka's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Not Jabo--size always matters. I have run across these and taken them to shows for an ID. Mine were one inch or therabouts I believe, I have two of of them in my collection somewere--lol. Yours look smaller with much more blue involoved. I was told that these are "Older Vacor". I was never able to verify it through research on the interweb or from any books. I still wonder?? Cool stuf!! Marble--On!! -

I have seen these Kaysons boxes of marbles before but never with a game involved. This is just a share for any that are interested. These images are as found. The box is practically unused with the dimples from the holes in the bottom of the box yet. I will call it a great find in my world. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble—On!!

At Just a hair over 7/8” This is a “Clearie” (Clear as in no color with just a hint of yellow UV reaction possible in hand---no yellow reaction here—just a gut check)—it is slightly out of round and it is an Akro imho—probably from a dig. Yes, this is the same marble—both sets. This is why the new generation of collectors loves a good black-light marble (or some of the older collectors as well—I sure do!) UV light reveals a lot—cut me some slack on the blue reflections; they are from the UV light which was deployed. The orange is the thing---just killer—under UV it looks solid and opaque. The camera flash reveals some brown in this “Clearie” which is just crystal clear in hand. I tried my best—no sunlight today—go figure. “Backlight them all” and hit them all with UV light as well. They may not be worth a terrible lot but once you find them they are priceless. They all deserve a good look! We all love this stuff—I sure do!! Marble—On!!

Yes, I would. Marble--On!1

Clean them then put them in a jar or sealable clear glass vessel and fill it with water. They make a great display. Marble—On!!

I think that the OP is a Master "Brushed Patch". Marble--On!!
-
That is a nice deep rich yellow. The base glass appears to be well cooked and quite clear. The first image hints at UV reaction with both of them—do they show any UV reaction? They sure remind me of yellow Akro snakes with that little hint of brown. Include a Master Made “something” and Peltier clear Rainbo’s as well. That is a pair of odd ducks—I love them. More opinions are needed and always welcomed. Marble—On!!
-
I looked hard at these—nice images by the way. I think that all are slags. The bottom right hand one almost appears to have some opalescence to it—that would be weird imho. Marble—On!!

X2 Brian. I agree with all of the above. Marble-On!!
