I woke up at 10 degrees this morning; the dogs appreciated a blanket after I took them out. I have an enclosed kennel with a fully enclosed tarp attached to my garage, more for my wife than the dogs. It was 18 degrees inside of it with no ice or snow to fall, slip, or break a leg/hip on. It is just the small things that matter, like 8 degrees🥶.

I do not always trust cutoff marks but this is what I see. The flow of the glass may fool you here. I always appreciate the opinions of others. I will stick with Akro. Marble—On!!

Yikes--I asked for it didn't I--- I think that you have an Akro there. Just my opinion and I do appreciate them all. Marble--On!!

I believe in the old collectors saying”if you have never seen it before –buy it”. I collect marble pouches and have never seen anything close to this before, never with a clasp at the top or the images that I describe. I believe that there may be an African American boy in the image as well, at least one maybe two—cool image/print for sure—very rare. I mean no disrespect in my terminology and I believe that this is a respectful term and use it as such. Tell me if you have ever seen such a thing and I will surely appreciate it. Marble—On!!

Hey, I just got some more today-- I do not expect that you thought that you would see these marbles on a vintage marble experience like The Marble Connection, the oldest marble board in existence. Why Not? Collect what you like. Like what you collect. They are marbles and they have a provenance. I just fell in love with these little buggers from Vacor and I do collect them, especially in original packaging. I have a few more to get but that is collecting. Low end or high end—collect them if they make you happy. These make me happy! Marble—On!!

This is probably before my time--everyone loves a Hero--even in black and white.

Well, I got a big image of it up on the screen, backed up a bit and there it was. Jabo Classic. Marble--On!!

I will PM you--Thanks

I will just say why not Jabo and leave it there. Marble--On!

I would like to see more of that football shaped one--tis the season! Marble--On!!

As I recall the original Superman TV show was in Black and White for a few shows--Maybe it was just our TV😁. Marble--On!!

Beauty is in the eye of the person holding the marble. I agree that a nice clear base with just white can be stunning. Marble on and keep what is pretty for sure!!

I agree with William, more shots needed. Here and here. Marble--On!!

Nice marble that Frosted Vacor Michaelangelo, I like em too. My favorite marbles are usually Akro Agates but today I was gazing into a Peltier "Muddy". So for right now, that is my favorite--until I pick up the next one😁. Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

Killer set Carowill--what nice deep black in those two. Marble--On!!

OOps almost at once Ric--Good point!

I would sort this one as an Akro. The amount of white involved with these really makes them look different from one another--green-wise; some look quite dark compared to yours. Nice marble-- Marble--On!!

I found it, I just had to do a repeat of one of my hair-brained searches on google. If I wrote them all down--well, no time for that🕛. Maybe I should start a list😁. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/27211-any-help-would-be-great/ The one that @Nantucketdink posted in the above link are the ones that I am talking about. "Aquarius Run Patches". I have never seen any for sale. Marble--On!!

I believe that these came in bigger sizes (1") and smaller as well. I have one that is out of round--bigger--13/16". I am not a big fan of out of round marbles. I have some research to do---Thanks Ric--Killer marbles for sure. Marble--On!!

That is a nice marble! Marble--On!!

Thanks Steph, I might just keep these awhile--I might be hooked. I am now on a hunt for "Blueboys"---love em! I read a post somewhere in the past about "Contract Run Patches" all I can remember is that @wvrons was fooled by them, comparing them to Vitros, and you stuck up for him. It was an older post as I remember--I lost it💨, I think it may have been here, in The Marble Connection. Something to do with Jeff Theobold and a run after Dave McCullough left. Nice patches imho--I want some. Marble--On!!

Thanks Ron.

Here is an image that shows some facets. Marble--On!!

I have wanted some of these "Badger Run" Jabo’s for years—just too expensive for me—I am a Badger after all, so I had to give a good try or few. I got lucky and pulled home a nice box full, one of the best wooden boxes ever made imho. If anyone can help with the reasons behind the name, I will appreciate it. Thanks and Marble—On!!
