  1. Or right on Fire--- Marble--On!!
  2. That purple is very cool and I usually associate that color with a Vitro made marble. They are both Imperials--nice ones though. Marble--On!!
  3. Size is 5/8"-9/16"? This one needs a Jabo expert's opinion imho-- I am stumped and will pull my Akro teeth back in😁. Marble--On!!
  4. Right on Fire!--You had me guessing-----lol---not!!!!! It is still round and cool!!! Nice post!. Love it--- Marble--On!!
  5. You need better images for sure here. It is an Oxblood--an Akro. It will react to UV light. It reminds me so much of the Akro toy Plates that I have to post one to follow here.
  6. I am going with five according to the original rub marks that I have seen in these boxes, they are long, the rub marks--six would be ---too tight and 5/8" just would not fit. Great question Ric, You are getting me back into the older notes here--I love it. I show one below, an Original with a new row of five😉 .👍. Yes those are "Moonies" in the middle row and "Flinties in the far right row, 9/16"all. I just remembered that I just love this stuff . Oh by the way--the OG has to be a Flintie or we will be spanked again. Help us out here in "The Marble Jungle". Great stuff marblemanvintagemarbles! Marble--On!!
  7. 😁Yah--right. Thanks for all that you do Ric. Marble--On!
  8. Flinties came as small as 9/16" Ric. Doubled, this would be less than 3/4". There was one row of these 9/16” on the right hand side of the #150 Akro Tin ( between the insert box and the tin)—sometimes other 9/16”Akro such as corkscrews or even patches were included. The best #150 boxes have the Flinties imho—very hard to find in all five colors, this was the way. The OP was just finished a bit more on one side imho. Study the cut-lines closely--both sides of the OP have one to be seen from the images given. I am just hoping that it is a "Flintie"--it would be a rare find. The blue ones are not easy to ID. If it is just a double “Gamer”—still pretty cool. I just love these marbles (Flinties)—and this stuff—Marbles as well!! Marble--On!!
  9. I like this stuff Ric, As you know, I am into Lego. I have a big south facing window that I set up in . I soak up the sun along with my dogs, listen to music and keep the mind busy. Great stuff! Marble--On!!
  10. Welcome back raynsandy! We are glad to have you back in the fold and it is good to see you making some awesome marbles once again. Keep them coming! Marble--On!!
  11. If you have never seen Elizabeth A. Kempski’s book, “ The World of Cat’s Eye Marbles”, this may be the time to check it out. She displays a bunch of different marbles with a variety of names and spellings. I know that she has posted here but it has been some time—maybe @Steph can pick her out for us. I do not think that there is a right or wrong way—just many ways. I always thought that Master Glass had the best—“Cat’s Eye” for a name in a header. Marble—On!!
  12. I agree with double ingot--Flintie? Backlight it. These blue ones will show some opalecence in my experience. Flinties of this type will usually look like an opaque marble until you backlight them. Backlight them all!!😁. Flinties often show up in boxes of game marbles. If it is just opaque--not a Flintie. Marble--On!!
  13. This is a WVS imho--nice big bubble--is there any AV? Pretty common in my experience--no maker from me. Marble--On!!
  14. Image six shows a classic “straight on shot” that busted out around the perimeter—maybe an almost bust out. This would not happen in a Jabo imho. It may have met up with a Stone Agate at some point (just musing). I agree with William— It would be a very big Master—even cooler imho. Marble—On!!
  15. It is a Jabo--from the production runs--not the "Contracts" imho. I appreciate all opinions--- Some of these big Jabo are just killer marbles if you can find them without all of the hit marks that we are experienced with finding. This is a nice marble regardless of the maker--Love it! Marble--On!!
  16. Alley Agate imho. Nice find!! All opinions are appreciated and welcomed--- Marble--On!!
  17. Nice Master imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  18. Akro to me as well--pretty cool! Marble--On!!
  19. Cool eylashes--just sayin-- Imperial imho. Marble--On!!
  20. Whatever is round right Fire? Pretty cool-- Marble--On!!
  21. I would sort this one as a Jabo. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  22. Pretty wierd--it may be a "fish tank" Marble. Marble--On!!
  23. I will just throw Heaton out there and see if it sticks. Marble--On!!
  24. None Ric--pretty cool that you have a few. Have there ever been any Master Digs? Marble--On!!
