akroorka replied to •~Emily~•'s topic in Marble I.D.'s
Well Emily "that has lost the marbles"😁. This is a tuff one and I think that Fire has it about as close as you will find it. I have seen enough "Dug Akros " to know that you will not know what to expect--color wise. I do not doubt that this one was a disgarded (by the factory) marble--By which factory may be an argument--but not a really good one. Marble--On!! -
Welcome my marble collecting friend. Keep them coming—there is nothing better than an old farm house find. Marble—On!!

Nice pelt imho--you may need some less intense images to get a determination on this one. Natural sunlight or a more exposed view. I will never knock your images Jeremy--they always very nice--very nice. This one may need the natural effect though. Marble--On!!

OOOhhh the Jackson tag---I wish that I could figure out the @ Ron thing. Ron is the go to with Jacksons. Marble--On!!

Not a submarine my marble collecting friend. This type (submarines) would be awfully hard to ID in a few images online. They appear to be quite opaque in hand and reveal themselves under severe backlight. Yours is a very nice Rainbo imho. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Also needed here. Marble—On!!

Thanks William, That is very cool---from the Bart Starr Days no doubt. Marble--On!!

With all of the Vitros that I have gone through and sorted over the years I have never had one of these in these big old clumsy sausage fingers of mine. They really catch my eye for some reason and someday I will cross paths with one. Marble--On!

Pretty sure Peltier,.63, but does it have a name?

Chad started a similar thread last month. “Hit List” can be translated easily into WIHO so a new thread makes no sense right now. Check it out and add to it. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/31425-hit-list/ Marble—On!! -
I happen to have a soft spot for folks that cannot remember names (like me). Close enough to "German Striped Transparent" for me Fire. You are up!!

I agree with Chad. No Pelt here. Nice marble, though it is more than likely a WVS of some sort. Marble--On!!

"Pro collectors" no one here will admit to that🤪. You talked me into it "Emily with the "sgiggles" on each side. I will start one tommorrow--Wish I had One--or WIHO in the general chat. It will be fun to see and I will start out easy because there are plenty of images to rob on the interweb--- Fire-- I feel the Thunder again--LOL---just that a bad Packers loss will set me back for awhile---the Badgers rocked---I will go with it. Marble--On!! -
Ohh no guesses?? Here is a hint--green and white. Marble--On!!

Cut and copied by this reference. https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/akro-agate-co/ "Brown is the most common, followed by yellow, green, red, and blue. These marbles are actually semi-opaque and have a distinctive orangish glow when held to a light. Later examples have tiny open ends at each pole, called “fisheyes”. The Moonies are relatively easy to find. The Flinties are more difficult. It appears that Flinties were not produced in as great quantities as Moonies and these marbles are often mistaken for game marbles by collectors. Flinties can be found in many No. 150 and No. 200 tins. They were also marketed under the name “Fire Opal.”" The brown ones look almost red--but not---duller. The ones that I picture here are red. I believe that there are white Flinties--they differ from "Moonies" a bit more opaque. Marble—On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
The box is the thing and you have that nailed. The pieces you will find, just carry an image to match them up. Nice find for sure!! -
I agree, That blueish/greenish color reminds me of some dug Akros. They are usually bigger marbles. Marble--On!!

I always will count in the newer Chinese marbles as a possibility with this type of marble. They are really shelling them out. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Colorful-Hand-Made-Glass-Marbles-Unique_1600230820270.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.a6a54815QchXoJ Marble—On!!
