This is not quite yellow my marble collecting friend—light amber I would call it. CAC made a Yellow slag with a very yellow base. Compare them and see what I mean. I do not know why yellow was so hard to achieve in a transparent base but it is rare. I will agree that this one is a WVS however. The maker. I suck at WVS ID. Marble—On!!

akroorka replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Slags do what they want to Jeremysvt. A positive on a slag is a hard thing to do and a hard thing to explain. It is more of a feel than an ID. This one may be a Pelt, a CAC a MFC--but I will still call Akro on this one. I want them all to be Akro Agates so I am not always right 50-50 would be good for anyone with an ID of slags imho.(with a few exceptions) yes, I know, Akro made millions of these and most are Akro. Any and all opinions are always welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!! -
I really hope that you get a good ID on this one--it is a great one. Marble--On!!

Your images are great Jeremysvt but I will still call this one an Akro. CAC marbles are a hard find in any form. You will get one sooner or later. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!! -
OOOOh, a great example of slag vs swirl here Jeremysvt! I want this one to be a slag—an Akro slag—does it have any reaction to UV light? I think that it is a swirl-------WVS also. Maker. Nice marble! Marble—On!!

Did Sammies Mountain Marbles make anything without "Gliittz"? I would love to know. They are some nice marbles the SMM but the ones that I see always have some glittz to them. Marble--On!!

Here is one for the gardeners out there. I plant for Butterflies and still have success. Marsh Milkweed is shown here .(I would love to find a marble with these colors) The second is an image of my small pond with “Comets” a really hardy Goldfish often sold as feeder fish. These are about 8 years old; I keep them in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid tank in the basement over the winter—very tuff fish, very cheap as well. Great pets—really great.

Yes, Emma has a blow out in her hair---just Pelt stuff as far as I am concerned—I am a bottom feeder after all. I need a few more of this type to fill a numbered repo box. Not fussy-me, and I trade well. Private message me if you have a bad one to give up. Marble—On!!
-
Well, Hmmm, That is a new term to me but the classic Akro cutoff marks do look like at the very least like a fingernail---size matters I suppose. Akro made some that could be considered as toe nails--Big Toe mind you! Marble—On!!
-
Here is anothe"Lady" of some sort. I never did get a good ID on this one. No Opal, so I think that it may be a "Clear Lady"--not so sure though---Alley for sure! Marble--On!!

This is a good sign that they were melted, stretched, pulled, cut and made from a cane of glass. Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm, first of all—Great images! The first one is a Jabo in my opinion. I can see why you might think that the blue and white is an Akro marble but I am just not getting the right vibe here. I want them to all be Akro—really I do. WVS imho. Size always matters. More opinions are needed and always welcomed. Marble—On!!

What marbles & related stuff have you had but forgotten?
akroorka replied to Steph's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I have serious issue with too many "in sight and out of mind". "The Marble Room" is a thing in my house--it is also called "The Boy Room" by my wife.( I just wish that it was bigger) All of my dogs and cats are "boys" and they love hanging out with marbles--and me😁. Marble--On!! -
MK did make some very pretty blue—and white marbles. The next image shows "Painted Turtles" under a slight flash—it is pretty cloudy in Wisconsin today. Marble—On!!

I would sort it as a Vitro, a strange one at that. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
Those are nice marbles. Akro from me as well---never saw one before either. Marble--On!!

"Wicked Owls" should have a brownsih swirl in them along with the white. I cannot make any other colors out in that marble Mojo but if there is “wicked owl” is a good ID. This one feels more WVS-ish than Vacor-ish to me. I have come across at least a few colored like this from WV. I will throw Champion out there just for kicks❓. As always more opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble—On!!

Well Dano , Any marble with red in it will be hard to be ID’d as opalescent. The red color in the marble will always throw it off a bit. Opalescent marbles will have a reddish glow trough some part of a usually whiteish/pinkish glass. I do not see it in this one. If I had to guess, I would call this one a Vitro. Marble—On!!
-
This one looks like a Peltier marble to me. Nice color! All opinions are welcomed and needed! Marble--On!!
-
Slags vs swirls--always a hard thing--I get it. The top one is pretty cool though. Marble--On!!
-
Well, this is a tough one--- I will venture to say that it may be a Vacor "Old Fashion". Any and all opinions are more than welcomed and are probably needed. Marble—On!!
-
There is a lot of white in this one---I will say Akro. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
This is a nice marble that has seen some "pocket wear". Nice, hard, well cooked, Akro Agate glass imho. All opinions are more than welcomed and they are always needed. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
