A Vitro wth some Iron invloved. Marble--On n!!

This one is a Peewee Champion. Marble--On!!

A.I. obviously does not get the size thing---yet. Those are some mighty big marbles those older dudes are sitting on. Cool stuff bumblebee! Is there a link to this stuff? Marble—On!!

Vitro sure made a bunch of different patterns over the years. I am stymied on what to call this one other than Vitro. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

You did well Jeff54 for only five boxes😁. There are some very nice ones there. Master Glass is often overlooked--you have to do a lot of picking but they are there to find. Made in the USA--- Nice stuff! Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!

I agree. I did not even want to go to the Vacor website with this one. Nice call Chad! Nice marble Fire! Nice clear glass in this one! Marble--On!!

It fits for me! MarbleS--On!!

Here is a fun one. If you do not backlight your marbles, well, get on with it. This one may be a Ravenswood @5/8"--or?? I appreciate all opinions. Backlight them all!!! Marble--On!!

This is where I got Cairo stuck in my head--I put it there a few years back with this post. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/27729-cairo/#comment-240082 It is similar to the OP just not similar enough. I have not seen another like it. Ron straightened me out with this one. Marble--On!!

Vacor "Ladybug" imho. Marble--On!!

Wow--the blue is intense on that one Chad--nice marble! I have a favorite Image of a blueblood, the blue is usually a bit darker and most of the time the ox is covered by it. Sometimes not. Marble--On!!

I am no Guru. I can tell you this Much about your "Whopper" though. The big ones do not behave like the smaller siblings do. I would not fancy calling this one a Conqueror. Trilite would be my choice. It is a nice marble! Marble--On!!

I agree with Alley Agate--I know most of the big ones. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Akronaut would be the correct spelling. I agree on the Jabo ID. The Corkscrew--no oxblood--not a blueblood. If I had a row of ten I would call it a "Prizename". By it self--a really nice corkscrew. That is always enough for me. Marble--On!!

Always Steph, with the patches. Marble--On!

This one appears to be an Akro---"Cornelian". (not CARnelian) Rare and hard to get a good image of. They appear to be quite Opaque in hand--like a "Brick". Back-light them and they will reveal themselves, They are semi-opaque. These were called “Bricks” by the older—really older collectors—even older than me—lol. Here are a few better images that I have—most were dug as far as I know. They came in many shades of red from deep almost oxblood looking to a more red-ish that we all know. They were boxed and sold by Akro as Cornelian-they were the mostly more red variety—with a bit of white—they looked like an opaque slag. There may be more names for these—I just call them Cornelians—all of them. Marble—On!!

That is Chad for sure--- Marble on Bro!!

X2 Marble--On!!

I believe that you have two “Vacor” from Mexico marbles there. The first one is quite familiar to me. I purchased some of these about thirty five years ago on a whim thinking that they may be CAC Guineas. LOL—live and learn. (We all do) I cannot remember the name. Galaxy? The second one may be a Vacor as well; I would need more images to make a proper ID. Welcome to the board and---- Marble—On!!

"Rarest Marble Related Thing U Own" It is a funny------funny thing with any collectable-----include marble related items. The rarer the item, the more unbelievable the item, the less it will be collected or desired. They all may be copied or misrepresented—just do your research and collect. Never put good money at a “gut feel”, just do the research—if you do not have the time to do the research—back off. Here is one of seven or eight known—just a marble ----I have done the research. I know what it is. For an Akro collector—well—enough said here. I just love this stuff!!(I really love this stuff) Do the research!! Marble—On!!

X2--welcome and lets see what you have to offer. I am looking forward to it! Marble--On!!

It will be well preserved--trust me on that. Marble--On!!

Like I said-- Thanks Nantucketdink---- Marble--On!!

Here is another that I can consider as rare--"extremely rare"--just maybe "one of a kind" as far as Akro will go. I know--pouches are pouches--not this one---try to find one! I collect Pouches--forgive my exitement.--This one is just "KILLERRRRRR". Nice thread Pittsburg!! I just love this stuff!!----Really I do!! Marble--On!!

I would love to see them Alan. Marble--On!!
