Or right on Fire--- Marble--On!!
-
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!!
-
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 inđ. Marble--On!!
-
Right on Fire!--You had me guessing-----lol---not!!!!! It is still round and cool!!! Nice post!. Love it--- Marble--On!!
-
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.

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 fiveđ .đ. 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!!

đYah--right. Thanks for all that you do Ric. Marble--On!

Flinties came as small as 9/16" Ric. Doubled, this would be less than 3/4". There was one row of these 9/16â on the right hand side of the #150 Akro Tin ( between the insert box and the tin)âsometimes other 9/16âAkro such as corkscrews or even patches were included. The best #150 boxes have the Flinties imhoâvery 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 âGamerââstill pretty cool. I just love these marbles (Flinties)âand this stuffâMarbles as well!! Marble--On!!

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!!

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!!

If you have never seen Elizabeth A. Kempskiâs book, â The World of Catâs Eye Marblesâ, 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 timeâmaybe @Steph can pick her out for us. I do not think that there is a right or wrong wayâjust many ways. I always thought that Master Glass had the bestââCatâs Eyeâ for a name in a header. MarbleâOn!!

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!!đ. Flinties often show up in boxes of game marbles. If it is just opaque--not a Flintie. Marble--On!!

This is a WVS imho--nice big bubble--is there any AV? Pretty common in my experience--no maker from me. Marble--On!!
-
Image six shows a classic âstraight on shotâ that busted out around the perimeterâmaybe 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 Williamâ It would be a very big Masterâeven cooler imho. MarbleâOn!!
-
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!!
-
Alley Agate imho. Nice find!! All opinions are appreciated and welcomed--- Marble--On!!
