The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I am not the nit pickety either Ric.. Just talking CAC heređ. An old and hard thing to discuss in these times. Show me some CAC as an example. You know that I love your stuff--- Marble--On!! -
Size always matters. My first thought was "what a cool Pelt"--really---- a very cool Pelt. One of a kind! This is no Vitro---- Whatâs up Fire?? Show some more images on this oneâmany more Melissa. Lets call in @Chad G. here @cheese as well. I remember that cheese did not like this color combo--the regular one--white based--what about as clear based one?? No bubbles--clear based? This one needs some more attention--much more---!!! This is just a killer marble---one of one-- Lets get it on here!! Marble--On!!
-
Agreed Ric--pretty nice base glass. The yellow??? hummm. Marble--On!!
-
Well who could blame you Fire--not me--this one is just special. I do not know were I would fit it into a box--this one is just a stand alone--special! Marble--On!!
-
Very nice colors! Marble--On!!

Welcome Intuit! A blind person can tell a marble by touch, I am not calling you out as blindâjust hear me out. Maybe not colors----but touch. I really do believe that @Chad G.or @Fire1981or @cheese or @Riccould touch a marble and ID it without any eyesight. Maybe not right onâbut pretty close- @Melissa is getting right there as well as well as @Alan and the rest of the group here at âTheMarbleConnectionââtoo many to name really.( sorry if I counted you out) These collectableâmarbles--- are easily IDâd by touch if that is what you seek and need. I can only imagine this but I think that I could do it if I needed to. I have often thought âwhat if I was blindâ or visually impaired and who would help me in this endeavor. We here at âTheMarbleConnectionâ accept all, regardless of anyone that is visually disabled or has any other physical/mental impairment. We are all here to help with this great collectable as far as ID goes. If you accept perfection onlyâyou are in the wrong placeâif you accept a welcomeâyou are most accepted here. MarbleâOn for sure!!

This is what counts--these images. The damage and as-made defects ID this one as a CAC for me. Never hide the defects and swallow your pride. The marble will speak for itself. Mint marbles are not a realityâexcept for once in awhileâa great while. A single seam, (all marbles have two seams or cut marks but some only show one) which is quite nice to find imho in any condition. The blow holes, the big long cut mark and the limited damage all line up with an original CAC imho. For some reason I do not remember âDiaper Foldâ regarding this type of CAC. Help me out here fellow âMarbleConnectionMembersâ. I respect all opinions and hope to see some more. Just show us what you have all âthe good side along with the bad side. We are here to help with identification not judgment of condition or worth. This is a great marbleâregardless of any damage. I just love this stuff!!! We all do here at âTheMarbleConnectionâ MarbleâOn!! -
I like this--just listen to what we have to say They do appear to be Vitro--but in a long shot like this only a marble fool would ID them. There are very few fools here @ "TheMarbleConnection". Get a better sharp image--crop them to be sharp and show us what you have. I just love this stuff!--Really I do!! Show us what you have and be definate. Marble--On!!
-
Your images need better resolution and closer---more defined images. The two on the left need some more shots imho. Marble--On!!
-
X2--- Nice one!! Marble--On!!
-
LOL Ric--I have not been swallowed yet. Machine Madeâs rule!!---or whatever you like as far as that goesâ. If you want a fewâgive me a PM call. MarbleâOn!!

Thanks, and welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Just a tip here--more light and closer shots---I can see that you are passionate about collecting these cute little orbs. We all want to be nice here and give you our best welcome but your Image work needs some more work so we can enjoy them even more. Just ask and you will be rewardedâfor sure. We have all struggled with images in the past and many of us here have eye problems. Most of us have been rewarded just by asking for help. There may just be a few left here that had to take images with film and scan them to get them on the board. Yes, I did use a Polaroid Camera back in the day. (are they really coming back?). MarbleâOn!!

Well, no one has said CAC yet--I will. Size always matters--nice, well cropped images matter too. Repost this one with your very best images and be rewarded. Show all four sides of this cute little orb. (four sides of an orb--you get what I mean--cutlines on both sides and opposite to them on both sides.) The thing is--These CAC "Guinea" marbles have been faked by so many independant marble makers that some folks will get gun-shy as far as giving any positive ID. I am quite certain--80% is the best that I can do without any further images. This one is worth it's own post in the ID section if you are up for it. Nice marble--Marble--On!! -
this one has me stumped big time ! thanks in advance~~!!
akroorka replied to DHUNNIE 27's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I think that Ric has this one nailed--no Jabo here imho. @Nantucketdink What do you think?. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more on this one. Marble--On!! -
Another one?--Pretty cool. Marble--On!! Transparent----Asian imho--coke bottle glass, just not the same imho. Marble--On!!
-
100% x2. Marble--On!!
-
I am thinking Ravenswood here--maybe @cheese will chime in. Marble--On!!
-
Pelt for sure-imho! Could be a weird Pelt "Bannana". I can agree with this--but a clear base? Me either--great marble!! @Fire1981 has seen a bunch of weird Pelts--lets give him a call. Marble--On!!

What can I say---great stuff!! Marble--On!! -
Thanks for the images. It is what I thought it was. These Akro Ox patches are usually quite common regarding the colors involved. This one is special for sure. Weird and very cool---great findâNice images! MarbleâOn!!

I think that this one has a âfinish" that is original as it was found. This is my story; Big Brother just loved this marble--His mom/dad loved the way that he shot marbles--maybe too much----! He âthe big bro, got too much attention for his marble shooting skills and he just loved this marble. Little sister/brother decided one day that she/he had enough and wanted more attention. Down the Shute--- in a very cold and icy day----in the "outhouse âit âwent--never being seen again until Fire found it online. Great marble!! I just love this stuff. MarbleâOn!!
