Love it as well. As an Akro collector I still have to check myself---I always want them to be an Akro. Marble--On!!

This one we alway have known as a "Pickle Jar" or a "Peanut Butter" jar. They were reused as canning jars because of the perfect fit regarding the canning tops. Nice find!!

Well, you know silver--if you did not poilsh it--well you know--white gold?---- Nice find!!

Nice peewee----one image will not do it for me though. Love it-- Marble--On!!

The only thing that I see wrong with this marble is the glossy finish. Sherryfain----- if it has been "spit on" ala Fire or there is any other chance that it may have been glossed for these images please let us know. It is a very convincing marble in all other ways. "CAC Guinea"---less the glossy finish. The colors are right, the seams are right--the finish is not. Of course, all opinions are welcomed and needed with this one. I would love to know who made it if it is not a CAC🦄 and get this info out there to the masses. It is quite convincing. Marble--On!!

Timex---"Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin"---or not😁.

The clear transparent item is a chicken watering device. I think that you invert a canning jar full of water on it. Cool stuff William.

I think that Vacor "Elephant" is right. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Thanks for all of the input on this one. I can call it a Sparkler for sure. From which side of the Atlantic will be taken into consideration for sure. Marble--On!!

Here is the thing with me and CAC marbles. I do not have many—30-40 maybe-- but I have researched the heck out of them—Alley vs CAC vs Akro etc etc and I know one when I find one. I found a “submarine” in the wild once and sold it quickly—lots of Corkscrew money there. (I should have kept an image) I treat them like “German Handmades” and never mind a little damage—let’s face it they are rare. Blow holes are common with these—almost like Pelts. I hope that some more are posted soon—I just luv-em—especially the “Electric Yellow Slags”. I will post some more “common” swirls soon. (No CAC are really common) Marble—On!!

Nice images! I will commit to the weird #4 as being an Akro Patch that was doubled with the red. I do not think that it was meant to be a corkscrew. This one is strange and cool. #2 and #3 may also be Akro--------#1—no clue from me. The very bright yellow at the bottom of #2 makes me lean towards Vitro a tad. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

Who does not enjoy them? I never even thought about a foreign maker. That is why we ask—especially when locked in like a bird dog to one or the other. Is it a Pheasant or a Quail, the bird dog does not care, he/she just knows that it is a bird and that you want it flushed out. Ok it may be a Woodcock—love it either way. I have not hunted in years but I sure miss my bird dogs—one mind, one effort—a very pleasing meld of minds. Kind of like us here------- Marble—On!!

Here is a very well filled 35mm (1-3/8”) Vacor “Spaghetti/Streamer” Yellow and clear based. This one is—just killer. Just sorting and sharing today. Marble—On!!

The base glass is very clear, there are some reflections from my brass plumbing holder that shows a different hue. Marble--On!!
