Light blue Pelts are not an easy find in my world. Here is one that surprised me. I figured it was just a cool big solid with some killer pollution. At just under 13/16” it came in a lot of “Vintage” machine mades. It just looks black in hand---really black with some metal. The first image is under some pretty bright LEDs on a shop light that finds many uses include shooting images. The second one is using fill flash at a macro setting---BANG! Jabo Lawnchair? I will have to invest in lasers for display. Ya never know until the lights come on—lol. Marble—On!!

Nice find Schmoozer, Is it a Brick? I have some Akro brick halves that are almost black. Nice marble!

I wil second that with a hardy thanks for the hard work as well! Marble--On!!

The first one might be of the Japanese (Yasuda) handgathered variety. There appears to be a pinch pontil on the bottom. The second one is a WVS. I am not very good at ID’s on these as far as individual companies go. I will just throw Alox out there because I have not heard it for awhile and I do not know any better😏. The last two actually remind me of messy Pelt Rainbos but it is reall hard to tell for sure.They may both be WVS as well. All opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble—On!!

Yes, That theme has been repeated on pouches with the smooth side of the leather out and on some artificial leathers as well. I like the one with the simple circle, nothing fancy—just “enuf said” with one simple image on the outside. It is pretty cool to have one that you grandmother made for you, a real keeper that one. Marble—On!!

Cool beans Dave 13, is it green? That would be creepy for sure. Marble--On!!

Whispler? Marble--On!!

No Box--go figure?? Marble--On!!

Prizenames, I am about to finish a 100 count box of them. The box came to me partially filled. Yes, I know, two Opaque colors are needed. It may be time to rethink “opaque” today with big-time flash and imaging tech vs back then in the 30’s. These all look opaque under natural light—what more can I say. The first two are a very difficult find. I do not even know what to call the orange on the first one. The white on black—is very hard to find (actually white on transparent, very deep brown--it does look blue--what can I say, I have it in hand). Enjoy! Marble—On!!

Well, The size narrows it down a bit. I have ruled out Vacor, the base looks brownish. Not Pelt, MK or Master. If it is an Akro—well, feed me the popcorn bag. I am guessing a big cat—maybe a Vitro? Great game Fire---chime in!! Marble--On👽!!

Here is the odd thing. These are the marbles that came with the pouch. The exact number that came with the box and I do believe that they are all “Master Made”. Three clearies came long for the ride and they look vintage as well. I am writing the seller as I speak—lol. I do not mind a beat up box at all. Marble--On!!

A “Black Spanish” radish, my first good one of the year. They are not for the faint at heart. About the same heat as a Jalapeño—but this one goes up the sinuses like Horseradish. Peel them, slice them, a little salt and go on a nice journey into radish land----hmmmm, what a place!! Root crops —On!!

Good eye Chad. Popeyes can be down right anemic with the white whispy stuff and sometimes they are just packed with it along with everything in between. Marble--On!!

Thanks for the jobber box tip. I found it. It is from a rare un-marked (name wise) box, so I do not feel too bad about my memory today. I found three that are close with the same wording on similar pouches in the “Rosenthal jobber boxes”. Here is a link to AAM https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3613&start=50 And one image from a Grist book. Marble--On!!

Hmm, it does have a Vitro look to it. Consider Vacor "Blue Macaw". They came in a variety of color combos with a transparent blue base and we know they made em big. Marble--On!!

Hat pin works for me. The size is OK, they can get bigger than that.

Vitro x2. Like Steph says, these big ones do not always behave properly. It looks like the cutoff blob of glass folded in half as it hit the rollers. Marble--On!!

That one is a tuff one. Pelt Rainbo? Marble--On!!

I collect pouches—well because I rebuild boxes. I jumped on this one recently –just because it rang some bells. I cannot find it or ID it. It is a “Rubberized” fake leather. These usually flake off with age and heat. This one is not too shabby. The back is the best of course. I think that it may be from a “Master Made” box. I may be losing it after all. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and Marble—On!!

Oh, Akro made plenty of swirls. They may have been intended as Corkscrews but some of the models (oxblood) just did not behave and turned out to be quite nice. Most of the Akro Milkies are swirls for sure

Sorry all, I will recluse myself from this post because I decided to bid in the future. My profile image is my own, I just need a few parts to make it really happen. I will not use this format to further any of my wants in any auction. Marble--on!!

I suck at WVS ID but it sure deserves a BUMP UP!! Nice marbles. Marble--On!!

This is a big one Fire, not the same marble as the OP. But you get the idea I am sure. Marble--On!!

Thanks for calling this one out for me. I learned something today and that is a good thing for me on any day. The bag has turned this into a no argument scenario. Thanks for sharing it. Yummm--- Crow--luv it when I am wrong. Learning comes from mistakes. Thanks all for chiming in!! Marble--On!!
