akroorka

These are new to me has anyone ever seen them before? Ebay link is below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255650162067?hash=item3b85efe593:g:JvUAAOSw-39i4nn-

I do not think that they are Jabo. Earlier WVS imho. Marble—On!!

Nice marble for sure! Marble--On!!

X2, The second one looks like an Akro to me--nice one! Marble--On!!

7/8” I figure, I measured them through the bag at 15/16”. The bag may be too minty to be true but I will post them just the same. What a drag, snipping off the corner when I opened the mailer—live and learn—always. Marble—On!

Thanks for the update! Keep up the good fight!👍 Marble--On!!

We went through the worst here in Wisconsin and it feels like the upper west coast right now--really very nice. I have a Corn field in the back of me so it will always be humid, we deal with it--sweat and cool off. The forecast is pretty normal for us right now. "a low chance of Akro, CAC or Peltier and a high chance of Jabo, MK or Vitro" (Chinese and Mexican are the best forecast in my area) Collect them all and to heck with the weather! Marble--On!!

The sunlight was just right—“Bananas” in Wisconsin--- Marble—On!!

Those are very nice marbles-----I have never seen anything like them in hand. Marble—On!!

I looked at this one for some time and I believe that it could be an Akro “Experimental” or dug marble. The stress fractures tell that and the purple color, though rare, points me in the Akro direction. Any further opinions are always appreciated and needed. Nice Marble!! Marble—On!!

I agree, Master. These could be from two different eras, Master Made Marbles (the smaller one) vs Master Glass Marbles (the bigger one). Both are nice examples! Marble—On!!

Leigh, Please try a different back ground for your images. The one that you use seems to eat up all of the light that we need for a proper ID. A solid color is best as is direct sunlight. Black, white, yellow, gray they all have a different effect on the final image. More opinions on the background that you should use are all appreciated and welcomed. Marble—On!!

Both are Peltier MCS imho. As always, more opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!

When I was just a kid, 9-10 years old, the pea picker trucks would slow down to get over a bridge near us where we were fishing all of the time, I think that they slowed down just enough for us to jump out and grab a bunch of pea vines. “Party under the bridge”. Hmm, those were the days. What happened in West Virginia? A marble party?? Marble—On!!

I use a Wescott T-800 template to sort my marbles by size. It is about as close as I can get to what the factory did. If the marble does not fit through the 5/8” hole then it must be a 11/16”, in my world anyhow. I sort by factory sizes and am happy with that. Over 1 inch takes a calipers and clumsy sausage fingers. I drop more big ones than I do smaller ones. Sellers are more fussy with sizes than I am, along with many buyers. Marble—On!!

That is a Master Made Marble inho. Nice specs of AV in this one. Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a Pelt Rainbo. Nice colors and a bit wonky, I like it! More opinions are always welcomed. Marble--On!!

LOL no blasphemy here posting Cats. I like Master Cats. I know that they can get funky but I do not think yours is a Cat. Just a Master on the thin side. Marble--On!!

3 1/4" last night, the first storm gave us 1/2". Windy like a Banshee it was and a good light show to go with it. We love storms!

The way that the green blends into the white points me towards Vitro with this one. Marble--On!!

3-3/4" of rain last night, lost power @1AM. Tornado spotted just south of us and the sirens were blaring. It was so dry before that the the sump pump has not run--yet. My rainwater collection system for the garden was depleted--not anymore! I can hold around 900 gallons and it fills up fast with that amount of rain.

X3 nice one at that. Marble--On!!

Welcome Zima Blue and keep them coming. We all just love this stuff! Marble--On!!

I think that I would sort this little gem as an Akro. Cool Marble! Marble—On!!
