Hey Ric you may try a pencil over paper rub to get a more definite image. Here it is a again, an Artist with a crappy signature. I never quite figured that one out. Such a find hand with a paintbrush or torch/etc in this case and a crappy use of the fingers. My Pa should have been an artist--we could never read his chore lists--either could my motherđ. At least van Gogh got it rightđ. Marble--On!!

Vacor ID Jellyfish, Pinky and what are these?
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
The bottom images shows what Vacor lists as an Aura--the same marble as a "Jelly Fish". Just a newer name. Vacor renames marbles a bunch. Marble--On!! -
Yep--I say that all of the time but you have to pull your socks up sometimes and move on. Go to a car show--I love them all but to take them all home? Marble--On!

Wolf, this is a Akro "Silver Oxblood", nothing more---- They are rare (for me at least) to find in this nice condition. You made a good choice imho. The seller has no taste in marble ID but I will wait for your images--this type may have small some glow to them but rarley. Marble--On!!

I feel a test here--nice job Alan--you rascal!. Marble--On!!

IS That a Orange-Ade with Oxblood?
akroorka replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I am looking only at the first image here. There is not enough for an ID according to the first image. There may be a purple Popeye--not--- but you know what I am saying. Split them up a bit and give different views. I think that the one that you are talking about is a nice Vitro with OX--lol. It is a nice group but if this is a sales image it was set up to decieve imho. Marble--On!! -
These came in 100 count boxes listed or named as "Prize Name", different colors and different rows--some times two rows of the same color. Not quite a white base with this type--just special. I am not ready to call it a "blood and bones" but it sure as heck was probably from the same origin. Marble--On!!

Is That a Bleed Through or a Tracer?
akroorka replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
"Tracer" is a Peltier trait named by Gino Biffany. An older marble collector(rip) that was a Telephone technician (yep telephones like those that hang on the wall with cords attached). He named these after the little white lines that that some colors had on the wires that he worked with everyday. He was and still is one of the greatest Peltier collectors known. Never associate the name tracers with anything but Peltier "Tracers". Respect! Marble--On!! -
It is a Vitro--just a vitro--- Marble--On!!

You know what Ric? It may just be a Jabo classic--lets call in @Nantucketdink for an opinion here. marble--On!!
-
Agreed--hard to ID this one is-(now I am speaking like Yoda) Not quite a Yoda am I. Marble--On!!
-
Jabo (Jaybo)--Classic. One made for general distribution by the company for world wide sales. Marble--On!!
-
X3--nice find! Marble--On!!
-
Flicker vs Flame--nope--a swirl--but a nice one. Marble--On!!
-
These are pretty common but hard to put down without looking at two or three times. A collection of these will light up any room. A very nice marble! Great images! Marble--On!!
-
I get what @Fire1981 is saying here but I would lean towards an opinion from @Mojo--it may be from across the Atlantic ocean. Marble--On!!

I agree with Pelt Rainbo but I have a story for marbles like these so just put up with my rambling please. A younger girl/boy was into shooting marbles, he/she kept them in an old tin coffee can in the chicken coopâthen he/she found out about other things and there they sat for quite a few years until discovered by some nut that collected them. This one was probably on the bottom collecting a drip or two from the leaking roof, never to see chickens again. The chickens are gone but I bet that he/she wonders what ever happened to the marbles. YepâI am a bit crazyâbut fun as well, I hope. MarbleâOn!!

Yes, it is the most common color combo--very hard to ID except by the masters in WVS ID---I am not one of them. Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm, I would sort it as a Vitro Agate--no name though. Marble--On!!
-
Me too--nice find. Marble--On!!
-
X2--nice ID! Marble--On!!
-
Well, Ravenswood was my first thought--but I just suck a WVS IDđ€Ș. Marble--On!!

I have seen enough Akro to call this one--an Akro. The colors of these patches vary so much from box to box that anything is possible. It is kinda of a dinky one. @Ric is right on with some of the newer discovories posted here at TheMarbleConnection in the last year or so. Of course, I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
The images are off the chart--good job!! Great marble! Marble--On!!

Mexico, Many Asian countries--England--this may be a Master, made in the good ole USA--the clearity of the base glass is a good hint for me. When we look at these blown up images we have to consider that this one is coming in at a normal player size. Consider it in hand. Marble--On!!
