The third one is an Akro Carnelian, these are usually more of a swirl than a corkscrew but they do show up corky. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
There is nothing to hate there. Hand-mades in a net? Different for sure and kinda cool in their own way. A first see for me. China? Thanks for showing them and, Marble—On!!
-
I agree but this one looks veneered again, yellow over white---Vitro is my opinion. More opinions are always welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

Great stuff that we all try to apply here at the MarbleConnection. Keep posting and keep coming back! We all love this stuff. Marble--On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Notice the "one way" sign---I know where it points--for him at least. Nuff said! Lets just Marble--On!! -
Size matters and I am guessing that it is 11/16". That is a Champion swirl imho. Any further opinions are welcomed, needed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

These are new to me today, I just got them in the mail. All 5/8”-11/16”. A really nice score for me. The first image shows what I believe to be “Ringers” and they are harder to find (for me at least) than Popeyes. The second image shows Flinties and you all know that I just love-em. There are few rare ones for me, a white one and a yellow one. The next image shows the rest and who can resist a nice light blue snake. The other two are just, well corkscrews and who can resist a nice cork? One does glow like the dickens—love that! They are still out there. Marble—On!!

These were in a grab bag of "vintage marbles"
akroorka replied to TravelersMibs's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Is this how some of the Jabo "Contract Runs" got the pink in them? Cool stuff! Marble--On!! -
Purchased as "vintage Peltier Peerless Patch"
akroorka replied to TravelersMibs's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Yes, a hardy welcome to you as well TravelersMibs. That is a nice group of marbles, the blue in them is really nice in the sunlight. Marble--On!! -
In my house the marbles are mine the Akro Ware is my wifes, just to make that quite clear😁 We share though.. Marble--On!!
-
Here is another one Chad, No marks but Akro just the same. Westite made one as well (no darts) here is a link. https://magwv.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/C1F3D992-1E18-4C3C-8A83-244927259182 Marble—On!!

I do not agree with MK---no way imho! Get the popcorn out. Maybe a Vitro---or a Pelt, or I may be wrong and it may be an Akro As aways, all opinions are more than welcomed and needed. I just love this stuff!!! Tell us all what you may think, all of you!! Marble-On!!

The finish on this marble points towards Jabo for me. Marble On!!
-
That is a nice looking marble for 5/8", I thought that it was bigger until I went back and did some reading😁. Marble--On!!
-
Another slag vs swirl imho. I think that this one came from a company more well known for making swirls, it does look slaggy though. That lighter green pushes me that way. Marble—On!!
-
Ooooh that is a pretty marble. It looks like the Yellow is veneered over a white base so even though I want it to be an Akro I will slide aside on this one and wait for more opinions. Marble—On!!
-
Got these resently ... vitro pelt rainbows and ???
akroorka replied to boris64's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Hello Boris64, If you are asking about this one we will need a few more images, clearer and closer. Thanks and Marble--On!! -
an Akro corkscrew that did its own thing imho. It may be called A “Life Saver”?? More opinions are always welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!
-
Four eyes are better than two Chad😵. I must have looked at this one a half an hour and I missed that. More images please. Marble--On!!!
-
X3, nice marble. Marble--On!!

These have fooled a lot of folks over the years and they still are “seeded” in lots on ebay. The last one in your group set made me look twice, very nice. That is a nice group of Serpents for sure and they are rightly named when it comes to those who have been fooled by them. Thanks for sharing these Mojo. Marble—On!!
-
Thanks for the quick images. If you have any sunlight left I would love to see it there. As of now, I cannot call it one way or the other. I am still on the slag train though, a well filled slag with buried white imho. That is a very long cutoff, maybe it is just a fold in the glass that follows the cutoff. I am off the diaper fold thing for now. More opinions are needed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
-
Well, Here we go. Slag vs swirl. I want to see some more of that long cutoff mark from the top and both sides. This one reminds me of a diaper fold. I think it is a slag—maybe a rare one, or—it could be a Jabo swirl-🙈. More opinions and images are needed of this one. Get out the popcorn and Marble On!!!

Nice corkscrew! Marble--On!!

Prizenames have two opaque colors and white is not usually included in the Prizename category. There may be a few with a cream color included. Yours is a nice corkscrew, I would not call it a Prizename. Some folks may refer to it as a “Ringer” but I am not so sure on that. Nice marble, all names aside—love the glow! More opinions are always welcomed. Marble—On!!
