If I ever chose a new profile image--this would be it. If only I could be a Jedi marble identifier--not even close--I will stick with the little post boy hat for now. Marble--On!!

Hmmm are all Realors opal? I really do not know. This one does not look opal to me. Backlight it onto a white surface Jeremysvt, if it shows an orange/reddish tint---I concede. Good call Steph---but???đď¸âđ¨ď¸. Marble--On!!

That is just a Killer marble--you just might have a Trilite there. All opinions are needed when I name a marbleđ. Marble--On!!

I have about 20-30 boxes in the process right now. One at a time--get bored and try the next. You know--"Idle Hands are the Darksides Workshop". I prefer the Lightside. Marble--On!!

Well I don't Steph----give it up. Master Made "Meteor" imho. The green color is pretty deep it may be an Akro "Moss Agate". I know how these bubbles show up under light. Marble--On!!

Excellent Idea!! The duh is on meâI was in the process of adding the size to my post when you posted. I know that you are new and I have to make adjustments as necessaryâmy badânot yours. Most of the older boxes with a variety of makers will post the numbered size vs. the fraction. This is good knowledge to have because usually the bigger the better. The sizes were pretty consistant with all of the older sellers--(as far as I rememđ´ber) No one that I know of sells them this way (I kinda wish they would)âit is just the way that it wasâback when. MarbleâOn!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I remember reading that they were numbered as a result of a lawsuit by Peltier. There were some distributed without numbering before the lawsuit as I recall. Did they make any in yellow? The repos are very nice--and affordable I have #146 half filled with bottom finders. ( I have to start somewhere) Of course as always, correct me if my memory is shorting out again. Marble--On!! -
It could be a Vacor "Tidal Wave" the "Liste" shows a few with some transparent streaking. Not a WVS imho. MarbleâOn!!

I cannot recall seeing those 3 colors together in a Cat---Vacor might have made some though. Vacor mixed color cats come in a multitude of color combos. Marble--On!!

Well-The first image has a little s shaped cutoff and there do appear to be some dimples in the glass---the base has some translucency to it----But!!!

Clear, well cropped images will help clear this one up Scooter. I know my Vacors and my Pelts--I looked at this one pretty hard with my image software---50-50 until I see better images. This is my best. Marble--On!!

This one is done. I may make some improvements with the marbles but I would prefer to keep the box as is. Enough is enough and you have to know when to back-off. The box was pretty rough and I did my best to get it back to square and plumb. The two middle rows were the hardest to findâtry to find a white on black Akro corkâit sounds easyânot so. I had to back fill about 55% of the marbles and went with what I had received in the box. On to the nextâI should have kept before and after images and the years involved. Oh well it took some time is all that I can sayâWhat fun it was!! MarbleâOn!!

Nice call Tommy--lets get on with it nowđ. Marble--On!!
