Consider the Vacor "Neptune". Marble--On!!

I use the one in the address bar--just highlight copy and paste. @Chad G. does it a different way--I am not sure about how he does it. Marble--On!!

A few more views would help for sure. I am getting Vacor vibes. Marble-On!!

I'll jump on the Akro train here. Marble--On!!

Oooh Yaaa!!! I wish they were mine!! If a friend asks for ID's--I get to post them at the least ( in my world). They are still out there---- Marble--On!!

About as black as it gets for me---

This one is pretty cool really considering the other discussion going on with CAC Guineas vs are they cane cuts. This one is obviously cane cut—pretty cool Mojo! Marble—On!!

Nice group! They are Akro-- Marble--On!!

Good job Steph! A pat on the back is much better in this case.👍 "You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink" Marble--On!!

It is a killer Pelt--maybe I am too old--These days--who knows. Marble--On!!

I agree with Ric--True Peewees are 1/2" or less---no squeezing the calipers. Just not peewees that you have--close is no cigar it is a requirement. Still pretty small for an Akro cork! Marble--On!!

I have not seen any Akro literature listing sizes for sale that included anything under #00 or 9/16”. That being said, The Popeye boxes were filled with a peewee placed on top of the pouch. As I recall they were Popeye Patch types. Collectors call the little ones Swee’ Pea after Popeyes little (adopted) Son/Pal. 9/16” Akros are a hard find for me unless they are the “oxblood patch” type which seems to have quite a few in this size. The thing is, if Akro produced 9/16” marbles there are bound to be a few peewees floating around. That is just the way in the manufacturing of marbles. I have seen a few peewee patches—never a corkscrew--- in my hand anyhow. So yes—they are pretty rare imho. Always check a rare peewee of any maker for any signs of polishing. Marble—On!!

I do not grow pumpkins-Canned Tuna in water rocks! (right out of the can)

Here is an Amazon link to the book-- https://www.amazon.com/Arnold-Fiedler-Glass-Marble-Excellence/dp/1456737023 Read the reviews. Marble--On!!

Nice score Mojo. Lay them out on a big tarp and take an image for us😁. You will not be bored this winter. Marble--On!!

Both are equal imho. Marble--On!!

Here is a thread from AAM. Was The Cambridge glass site dug? Were marble machines found there? I do not know. Explain the cullet---- https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?t=18298&sid=f3bf52f0f4614fdd6e76fb0eb03e9c72 Good stuff Steph! Marble--On!!

I would call this one a PPP--Peltier Peerless patch--there is just a big chunk inside. Marble--On!!

Google always helps Ric. Marble--On!!

This is ours tonight--just a Killer recipe-UMAMI to the Max Pasta with Tuna • 16 ounces linguine or other long pasta • 1/2 cup olive oil • 6 garlic cloves, minced • 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper • 2-12-ounce cans albacore tuna packed in water, drained • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice • 4 teaspoons grated lemon peel • 1 lb frozen greens (thawed, chopped and squeezed of excess moisture) • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. • Return pasta to pot. • Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper. Sauté 30 seconds. Add tuna, and greens then stir to heat through. • Add tuna mixture, lemon juice, and lemon peel to pasta. Toss over low heat about 2 minutes. Add reserved pasta cooking liquid to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Here are three-- I grow monster pumpkins. I just love canned tuna. My wife and I just saw Flamingos on Lake Michigan

Thanks Ric--I will not lie--I had to look this one up! At first I thought that you were going to share a recipe-(chocolate chip cookie recipe---yummm) Marble--On!!
