akroorka

Thanks Ron. Thumb pot --On!!

OK, I was close and will step up to the plate. Here is something new to the blurry game—a blurry under UV light. I used one of those cool pocket UV lights that Steph had posted about, glued a plastic marble holder on the top ring and here is the result. Good luck and marble—On!!

Welcome ----"back" browncat73. I hope that you are on the mend and I wish you a swift recovery. I will say Champion but I suck at WVS ID. All opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

Join the club my friend--why do you think that we need more images? Bring them on!! Marble--On!!

Sorry Lastfling I spelled out Corn when it should have been Carnelian. I am a Cornelian freak and it shows😁. marble--On!!

Nice batch Jzoook6. I just love the Akro marbles--these look very nice--great image as well!! Marble--On!!

These I would call Jabo--- Of course all opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

I cannot make out what it says on the bottom. Maybe @wvrons will give his opinion here. He has a nice collection of both makers. Braun and Corwin or the like is a nice find for sure. Marble--On!!

This is a tuff one, it almost looks foriegn but older. If I had to choose between the two choices--Akro. Marble--On!!

Silver Oxbloods? nice!! Marble--On!!

This one is an Akro Carnelian. The rest may just be "Ringers" or "Imperials" The thumb pot may be Alley—or Akro—nice find regardless. Marble—On!!

The first two sets of images I do not recognize at all—WVS?? The third set looks like either Vacor “Werewolves” if brown based—Possible “Thunderbolts’ if black based. The rest I would call jabo. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

You did well this year for sure hrjane. This is just a great job of hunting these addictive little orbs. They all stick out to me for one reason or another. It is great to see that they are still “Out There”. I----Love—just love the “Bricks”. Keep the images coming!!! Marble---On!!!

Yes, this is an Akro corkscrew—not a slag, WVS or any other. One image looks like it has a signature---eyelashes that look to say AA to me—😍. This one is 5/8” and would be a hard ID for those new to the hobby/addiction and I do not blame them for selling it so cheap in the lot that it came with---😘. The last set of images is for @Fire1981. Backlight them all and hit them with some UV while you are at it—you just never know until you do. Marble--On!!

Well--Maybe not UV--great image though--I concede--Jabo!! Marble--On!!

I agree--more of that one for sure!! Marble--On!!

Good question Fire and I hope you get a good answer from someone besides me. This is worth a bump--and I agree that they are of the same age as you state--there may be one or three Vitros in the bunch though. Marble--On!!

Frosted at best imho. Vacor did this quite well. Don't do it Mojo!! Marble--On!!

I just have to say this--The OP looks like it reacting to UV very heavy for a Jabo--Nuf said. Marble--On!!

Here you go Gladys, some washed out Popeye’s. I got these in the same lot on a day that I will never forget. I placed a bid early on 9/11 and forgot about them for a few days. Marbles were not on my mind that day but life went on and there they came. I figure with both the reds and the greens washed out like they were --- that they may have been a later run of Popeye’s—not near as vibrant as the originals. These are just my thoughts. I had some blue and yellow that looked pretty “normal” and a red white and blue that I will always cherish that came in the same lot. Lots of Popeye’s on a very bad day but life does go on! Marble On!!! And respect to all of those that lost their lives and loved ones on 9/11.

Nice group Gladys. I have a few of those washed out green ones--wierd little buggers. Marble--On!!

Nice group Mojo, The Ajax are killer. Here is a link that has some discussion about them. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/23752-nice-vintage-foreign-mibs/ Marble--On!!

That is a nice looking Jabo for sure! The second image really gives it up. An Akro cork would be more linear all around with no swirling in between the main colors. Marble--On!!

At least two of them are--the second in from the right is a very nice Pelt. The one on the far left looks like a Pelt Rainbo to me. More images of all are needed for sure. Marble--On!!

Good point for sure! Marble--On!!
