Hmm I am struggling with your calipers. I see 19mm or about 3/4". A Moonie or a white Flintie imho. More opinions are always welcomed--especially with my metric measurements. Marble--On!!
-
Master or Imperial X2 with a lean towards Master just because Gladys comes up with some nice Masters. More opinions are always welcomed. Marble--On!!

They are cool to find but value is in the eye so to speak. Here is a link just for kicks--ya never know do ya? https://www.ebay.com/itm/234607462112?hash=item369fb1c6e0%3Ag%3AjvgAAOSwnSNivgX6&nma=true&si=BEshrPu3hptkBTbVk36lPD%2BvyXU%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Marble--On!!

Hello Gladys, These Oxblood patches have always caught my eye. I always had a hard time deciding whether they were Vitro or Akro until I took them to a show and everyone that I showed them to said Akro with a great deal of confidence. This type of patch has a whispy white interior which just could be opalescent. It is hard to really tell with the oxblood involved while backlighting—just instincts. I have only seen this type with green and with yellow included. Marble—On!!! -
Hello Dano, It is rare enough for me because I have never seen anything like it. What is the size? I am really into that marble stand too! Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

Hello Mojo, The first one does look like an Akro Patch gone a bit wild, not a corkscrew imho. I do not think that it is a Master Marble. Nice marble! The second one does look like it has some Oxblood; I had to really study this one on my image editor. It does look like it could be an Akro. This is also a nice marble. Akro Pee-wees are a rare bird for sure but I cannot call this one with a positive ID. I will lean towards an Akro Agate though---nice find whatever it may be. More opinions are needed and always appreciated. Marble—On!!

Here are a few very nice bullet mold marbles that just boggle my mind. Almost perfectly half and half with very nice clear glass, they are very round with no imperfections. They are just under 5/8”. How are these made?? I cannot wrap my mind around this! Thanks for any and all opinions. Marble—On!!

Hello Gladys, The question is, why do I keep beat up Master Made Marbles---well this occasion spells it. Here is the cousin to your marble. It is a Master Made as is yours. It is 11/16” and more than capable of taking damage and surviving. That is another great Master Made Marble that you posted—really nice! Marble--On
-
I agree---very nice ones and great images as well! Marble--On!!

Thanks Mojo, I for one would like to know who made this one. Green on green---on greeen!!!!---very cool!! I have never seen on like this and it is worth some opinions for sure. If you do not get them here Mojo post under the ID section. I just love this marble!! Marble--On!!

That is a pretty cool color for a slag Lumbo. At first I tought that it might be an Akro Carnelian---not, but still very cool. Marble--On!!
-
I am really diggin that green one in the back row Chad--very nice. Marble--On!!
-
The second one, brown on cream, is killer William—Love it Marble—On!!
-
I will agree on the Heaton--I know, odd for me to comment on a WVS, I am just feeling it here. The bottom one almost feels Peltish. More opinions are more than welcomed. Marble--On!!
-
The one on the right looks Akro to me. The one next to it could be a PPP if it does not connect on the other side. They can get pretty wild sometimes. More opinions are always appreciated and needed. Marble--On!!
-
I think the one on the right is an Akro. The green on green is pretty cool what ever it is. I would love to see more of that one. Marble--On!!
-
Thats a nice blue in that Akro--love it! Marble--On!!
-
I would sort this one as a Pelt. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Not a Pelt x2. Marble--On!!

They remind me of old pressed musket balls. I am pretty sure that they were all lead though. Close in size I'll bet. Great curiosity lain--wear safety glasses next time😁. Marble--On!! -
Yes X2. Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a Master Marble. Marble--On!!

If it is an Akro Flintie, it will glow on the end of a penlight and you may get a fisheye effect somewhere through the glass as you turn it around on top of the light (not UV, just the red-dish color, Flinties are opalescent). Akro made ¾ inch Flinties so .70 is not out of the question. The big Vitro gamers in that Art Deco box are over .85 or 7/8”. It does resemble them. The ones that I have will glow around the outer edges, and even through the middle on some. They are not as opaque as they look in hand either, no fisheye with these however, no opalescence. I am betting that it is a Flintie, backlight it with a small intense light—smaller than the marble and spin it around. Or cut a hole in a piece of cardboard and backlight it with what you have laying around for intense light. Marble—On!!

Nice one, Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as an Akro corkscrew. Marble--On!!
