AkroX2 Nice looker as well! Marble--On!!

This is a pair of one handled Akro baskets ---very hard to find without a broken or repaired handle. Akro--On!!

Here are some two handled Akro ware baskets--the blue one is a repo. Akro--on!!

I like swirls too--especially Akro. Collect what you like and enjoy the bonus marbles as well. Marble—On!!

That is all of us here Kimber--Nice find!! Marble--On!!

I like them all but that baby blue one hits me in the heart strings. Nice group! God bless you as well! Marble--On!!

A bumble-bee indeed. These used to be so common that many of us threw them aside unless they were dead mint. I have always loved this version of MK marbles. Girl Scouts were alway my fave. Nice find!! Marble--On!!

These can be an attractive part to marble collecting or collectors. Defects are highly collectable in monetary collections--why not marbles? Not all of us can afford high end marbles and I will not pretend to be a high end collector. I just love a good Jabo “Butt Crack”. Here is one that I received in a recent trade. It is a 2/3rds butt crack staring right at you--I just Love it!! Collect what you like and of course-- Marble—On!!

They may be Japanese Dave. After WW2 the Japanese were using a bunch of recycled glass which resulted in the " Ball Jar" looking transparent glass. The one with the spider web looking white is very cool—a first for me. These may well be over 70 years old. Pretty common--but old. These are the marbles that shut down the USA Marble makers. Cheap and they flooded the market. Marble—On!!

Great cats Ric--orange and white are not in my stable--luv em!! Marble--On!!

I would pay up regardless of the ID ( I am leaning MK) Marble--On!!

Nice one Chad--I like your new avatar by the way. Not quite a "thumb-pot"--except for us with potato fingers--lol. Nice find!! Marble--On!!

X2 --nice one!! Size?? Marble--On!!

Perhaps our Dutch friend @Mojocan help with this one. I agree with Chad--it does look like an iridescent finish to me as well--machine made--no doubt. Marble--On!!

Join the club Djp5690. I have dropped more marbles than I care to admit. I put a nice big Pelt cubscout through the washing machine, check those pockets-lol (It was clean and it missed going into the dryer). I have a carpet in my marble room and a rubber cow mat in the basement where I take images but marbles are attracted to concrete in a funny way. I agree that you have a very nice slag there. There are many so called experts but few that can actually ID a CAC slag like this. I recenty got one in a trade that is the same color that I swore was an Akro--turns out it came from a Pelt dig. I would be proud to own yours as an Akro--nothing wrong with that. The mixed up marbles--well live and learn and accept it as a learning experience. I am confidant that you will figure these out. Marble--On!!

I will not swallow paper weights on these. One I may agree--but four? Marble--On!!

Actually--imho--yours looks more like a CAC than the last images--nice find. These bigger ones are rare--very nice! Marble--On!!

This one is just over 9/16”. At first I thought that it may be a Jabo. The slight damage to it and the very “feel” of it makes me think WVS. Hard glass, nice deep colors—especially the white—could it be a Ravenswood? It is a very nice looking marble non-the less. You all know that I just suck at WVS ID’s—I think that I have a special one here. Go ahead and “make my day”---or not🤪—I would be surprised to see this ID’d as a Jabo—but we are all here to learn and I accept it whatever the outcome may be. I accept all opinions and look forward to them all. Marble—On!!

I aways wanted to build one of these marble machines--then I rediscovered Lego and was hooked. Maybe this winter when the shadows are long, some thing to do while sitting in the sun soaking it up. Marble--On!!

Weak cubscout on the first two, the third one is a newer model imho--no name from me, the fourth one is just one of those Mk'S. Marble--On!!

Hmmm, maybe a wooden claw foot table that rotted out? Marble--On!!

Think again my friend--we all suffer from this disease. A good deal is always hard to pass on and many of us are involved with bad ones—me included. Live and learn—always. Happy anniversary!! Marble—On!!

Having a "blast" is what we are all about here at The Marble Conection. I feel that your son and granddaughter are safe here and look forward to some images of what you have collected with them. Welcome B-rett66, your son and granddaughter as well. Marble--On!!

OK--great info boris--I will double up on my assessment and wait for further opinions as well. Marble—On!!

Nice find B-rett66. I have seen similar marbles encased in a cast iron claw that was a leg for a table. Usually these are transparent with no design inside like yours. I have seen pictures of sulphide marbles used in the same manner. It is hard to believe that someone got these out of a cast iron claw foot without damaging them. Check the marbles for any wear that may invole them being encased in a cast iron claw. These may have been used for something else that I am not aware of. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
