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!!

I believe that you are talking about the green,white and dark red one boris. Imho you have it in the right spot. Of course more opinions are needed here. Size may help. Marble--On!!

Nice marble boris64! It appears to have two melted pontils and the size I would guess at around an inch. Navarre, Leighton, Grenier ?? More opinions are needed on this rare example. I responded before I read your first post regarding this marble. I do not think it is "Bulgarian" for what it's worth. Marble--On!!
