Toe breakers also came in a net with two involved. These are the ones to hunt--better quality in my experience. Marble--On!!

Very nice William! Akro on!!

It is just odd enough for me to say—“is that a pinch pontil”. Marble—On!!

I do not see many Vacors with blow holes---just an observation. I had some time while on break so I looked these up for you. The Speckled one is a “Galaxy”, these came in a multitude of color combos. I like-em for some reason. Each to their own. The dark based one is a “Twister”. The Vacor marbles in the large size are going to be a thing of the past before we know it and when you find a nicely covered one with no folds they will be worth some dinero in the not too distant future. They hold up to abuse better than big Jabos who will also command some prices in the future. Just my opinion. They are semi-collectable right now. Get a bigger display area—here they come-. Nice marbles! Marble—On!!

I've been trying to ID this mib for a long time

It reminds me of a Champion “Furnace Swirl”, could it be one? We usually only see images of the best ones on the web and I have not seen any in person. Al opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!! -
Pretty cool Fire! Marble--On!!

Image number two is a Master Made “Comet”imho. All opinions are always welcomed. Marble—On!!

Good eye Jeff54, I get where you are coming from. The marble in question does look like it twisted before cutoff but not with the help of a spinner cup. Intended to be a patch is a good conclusion. In hand is always better but I can agree with patch for sure. The cutoffs in a corkscrew are usually better defined but not always, so it could be a wonky corkscrew as well. Marble—On!!

The original post is an akro with blue and oxblood but----I believe that it is an oxblood patch that went awry. Just kicking the can! All opinions are always welcomed. Marble—On!!

I have looked at this sale quite a few times. It may help to explain the injection process a bit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175378165194?hash=item28d55a6dca:g:lPIAAOSwXNhgYdBZ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoJrlJk1H57q5jL1K0u%2FZeNfTd%2FgwvT8hIVNhwv9ElFKA690Gbe1snCyszDDIxWZvNFCuJoJHwUTwQ%2FrSff0vZCovGWSTFSoFOin0gmi5gN6jwgGXF%2FXnQZnJ4RROtQEwY5U8q53g20X%2FhgGcTPFp3CxGN2TR4WDPmOpT8CCOhm4umqjGJDtl9SQU8XMq4uNG%2BC1xRBTHw83z88XIOd6bIeE%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9DQtovaYA Marble—On!!

This one is far from done but I am working on it, I recieved it empty and crushed in a bubble mailer--yea gads I have learned since then to express my shipping concerns. Boy oh boy, Pelts got expensive since I started this. Marble—On!! Killer digs Art !!

'Scuse Me... While I Kiss The Sky. I am switching stations and jumping on the Akro Train. Nice images—they do matter. Yes it is a top shelf Akro, “Sparklers” always were and will continue to be, but condition is everything, keep it for future referencing at the very least. Collectors’ will look in lots for years and not find one. They are not a “common” thing to find, many collectors will call them the first “Cateye” because of the injection process that was used. Marble—On!!

I would love to call the one on the left a Pelt—the jury is out on this one. The middle one is a Pelt MSC imho. The one on the right is a nice Pelt Rainbo imho. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble-On!!

I agree. Marble--On!!

Hang---in there bro--good luck!! Marble--On!!
