Very nice--great job Stephen!!! Marble--On!! or should I say Mármol - ¡¡Encendido!!.

Nice group! Good luck with the dusting. Marble--On!!

X2--nice marble! Marble--On!!

Marble--On!!

Perhaps @hdesousa will chime in and give some input with these? Marble--On!!

We are all still learning and this one has had plenty of input from a bunch of great marble folks. Thanks all!! This may just be "one of those" that defies a description or an ID. Thanks for posting it—this is what we all love. I just love this stuff!! I agree with Steph closer to a patch than a swirl. Marble—On!! This may help davesnothere--- Marble--On!!

They are a hard find Al, The #5 boxes were found in some NOS--boxes of them, flat and not filled. Then they were reproduced by someone which were very convincing. The #10s are especially hard to find in any condition worth keeping--or restoring. I could have paid this much for a restoration type box ten years ago—without the marbles—sometimes a person just gets lucky. How many marbles are in your box Al??? Marble—On!!

I am right there with you Ric. That large Heaton box is more than likely the very rarest marble box in existence. Any Heaton packaging is rare to find. This is what drives me—the rare stuff. Marble—On!!

Here we go indeed Tommy. Ya just never know until you find a box or a bag--for sure. Marble--On!!

These are WVS imho. I suck at WVS ID's and hope to see the rest of the folks chime in. Nice ones for sure!! Marble--On!!

This is a rare box that I have been hunting for years. Yes I did pay up—not too bad considering the time and date. The number five boxes are reproduced and refilled because of the way that things work in any collectable. The number five boxes are more common than they should be because of the amount of them found in flats and refilled. The number fives were also reproduced in a way that you may want to research. This is a number 10---very rare. It has been speculated that these were made after the number fives. I wonder? These are the original marbles to the box—all are Master Glass, sixty one—if I counted right. There was not much more room for any others. This is the very best that I have ever seen. I just love this stuff---Keep on hunting!!!! Marble—On!!

Not an Akro Steph--I agree-- Macine made for sure Chad---good eye! What attracted me to comment on this marble is the deep opaque white. The deep extreme white is generally associated with “Batch Glass” or glass made from a recipe vs that from cullet glass. The electricity of the yellow is compounded by the deep white—it is a very nice yellow—very nice indeed. I propose that this is a dug CAC that has been fixed. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Martble—On!!

Welcome SF2KY and thanks for the story behind the marbles. All New news to me as well--very cool. Marble--On!!

The glass maker must have arms like a blacksmith. Pretty cool! Marble--On!!

Welcome Nancie-----------we all love marbles here! Show us what you have--please and thankyou. Marble--On!!

Some cool Akro "Dug" Marbles--I can never get enough of these. Marble--On!!

An Iridescent finish on a marble is a hard thing to get an image of in my experience. As I recall, this shiny exterior is sprayed on the marbles as it rolls down on the rollers while the glass is still scorching hot. Many Asian and Chinese companies use this method as well as Vacor de Mexico. There were a few USA companies that did it as well. Recall some of the later Vitros and MK’s. I do not recognize this marble—e-nuff said. I wish you luck in the ID of ths one—size always matters in Marble ID. Marble—On!!

X2--Nice one! Marble--On!!

Nice shots bumblebee. I recieved one earlier this year which you could feel the facets quite clearly--even with my sausage fingers with gardening thick skin. I tried to get a good image and failed--miserably. Marble--On!!

Anything Round right? Very cool Ric and some some nice bling as well. I would have been there if I saw them first😃. Marble--On!!

I will also admit to opening a couple of bags of these. They are just a joy to hold and look at. Some of the brightest colors out there for sure. Marble—On!!

LOL that is where it all started. I wore overalls in my teens--cut-off with no shirt. ( way back when my knuckles dragged on the ground🦍) Marble--On!!

Sorry Fire--If the left hand one is a Conqueror---get ready to feed me my shorts. I appreciate anyone trying to feed me my shorts🤪. I do not wear shorts by the way🤢. Pure commando am I. (except for funerals and weddings) All opinions are needed and appreciated Marble--On!!
