any one know the story on this one? " Beaver Falls Pa"
akroorka replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I would consider this a rare Akro. PM me for an email address if you really want to know. Marble--On!! -
Master or Akro imho although Vitro is a good case for argument. We are all used to seeing or hearing that Master Made marbles are “earth-toned”. This is not always the case. Master had some bright colors in their palette as well. The cutline’s look like classic Master but that does not mean that Akro did not produce “patches” with similar cutline’s. It is not a Vitro imho but it sure has those colors----- I will call it a Master Made marble. This is a tuff one. Marble—On!!

The hands crossed bottle is just killer. The stone with the included bone like structure is as well. Who cannot appreciate some dino-turds and petrified wood as well. You are in a great find William—keep diggin! Thanks for sharing all of your finds. Keep on keep-in on.

This is just another cool corkscrew. Call it what you want to. Notice the spiral in the clear base. I could swear that Akro Agate had a machine running that they just threw colors into wishing for the best result. There are just too many to categorize. Another great cork!! Marble-On!!.

It wants to be an Akro but I believe that it is an Alley Agate. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

Well—it is “Peltier Tuesday” and why not ask for a Peltier opinion?? These shots are under very intense light. In hand, under a very bright handheld torchlight, it is as black as black can be. I found this one while getting some others ready for “Peltier Tuesday” in my “Pelt stash”. I still think, after all those years, that it may be a Pelt@ 9/16”. Give me your best shot!! ( it is not a Jabo—I refuse that from the start👇) Marble—On!!

This one makes you think. Have you ever seen a “Feathered” “Clearie”? The first image shows a backlit shot with flash. Notice the “feathering” in the base glass which is almost pink with the backlight. I just wonder what was going on with the Pelts “feathered” slag’s. The next two images are just shots of the same nicely “feathered” ‘purple” Pelt slag which is closer to 9/16” than it is to 5/8”, it would have probably been sorted as 5/8”. “Backlight them all” and of course---Pelt “feathered” slag’s just rock! Sorry Fire—this one was not in the “grab”. Marble—On!!

I can see why---that is a great looking marble. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!

Some eye candy from the old country. What size is that big “sparkler”? Thanks for sharing these. Marble—On!!

Nice find Mojo. I like the little dude on the bag. I would have cracked it open too. That marble in half tells the whole story---nice! Marble--On!!
-
Nice deep/bright white--nice deep blue. It may take some time to research older European makers but this looks like a batch made marble (from a recipe--not cullet) Do your thing Mojo, you have the resources. Marble--On!!

Thanks Nantucketdink, I had some doubts. Do you have any to share? I searched around and could not find any. Marble--On!!

MK I think. Marble--On!!

I do not think that it is a Pelt. Marble--On!!

Very cool. I do not see many marbles with this much pink in them. Jabo made some----- Nice one whatever it is. Marble--On!!
-
Vitro I think. Is the transparent base glass really tinted or is it colorless? Cool marble! Marble--On!!

thoughts on this red slag or is it a swirl? .61

Slag. One of those that I would study to see if it is really red or orange ( they always turn out to be red) Probably an Akro. Marble--On!! -
"Rainbow"--nice one! Marble--On!!

These are all Vitro marbles from a game of “Solitary Checkers” from the West coast and I am looking for a backfill of 8. Please give me an estimate of the age and a name for these marbles. The hunt is on to finish this one. They are 5/8”—Thanks and—of course--- Marble—On!!
-
This one is a slag imho---No ID from me😁. It is a very nice looking marble!! Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Chad-a killer "Coral" IMHO. Marble--On!!
-
Oh--it is pretty rare. The green pushes it away from Akro imho and Cheese naliled it on AAM. Marble--On!!
-
This one is a Vitro. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble—On!!

It may be an Akro---Just thoughts on my part. This type and color combo did get quite swirly. Marble--On!!
