akroorka

I would not call it a Pelt--WVS works for me Fire. Marble--On!!

It is an Akro "Silver Oxblood" Linda Gail---very good eye!! Condition is everything though. I think that there is another Akro or two involved here--it may be a "Blue Oxblood" but the images do not support it. Not a bad bunch of marbles. Marble--On!!

Unreal!! I wish that you gave some more defined images here. It is a simple Rainbo---but just a killer--just special! Marble--On!!

I will comment on the first image and the last one as well in the OP. The first is a nice corkscrew and the last one qualifies as a----- Agreed. Nice find--it may have been found in a bag of sold/marketed marbles vs one from a dig. Very cool find! Marble--On!!

Page 124 in "Peltier Glass Toy Marbles"-The book. Great find--no name. Marble-On!!

Hard to tell the difference between any clays. There is one expert that I know of. @akronmarbles---- Marble--On!!

I agree--a big Vacor Cat. Marble--On!!

This one is a MK Melissa. An older one perhaps but I see no Peltier here. Great marble! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Eddie Winningham and Kim both have put in a ton of money and effort in this book. Lets give credit were it is due. Cheese helped for sure. Marble--On!!

This one may need a separate post Dave. There could be some great discussion there. Marble--On!!

I agree Ric--the times that you state are probably right on. This is right around the time that we all gained a new respect for "Native Americans. Marble--On!!

I agree--nice finds! Marble--On!!

Yes Cato, Foreign--probably from a lot of Imperials. Nice marbles--Nice images! Marble--On!!

I remember the "King Bisquit Flour Hour" out of Little Rock--we could only get it after dark. Rock--On!!

Hand-gathered---- Machine rounded is what you should ask next time stephenb. We all appreciate what you do--never get that wrong but at some point, you will be challenged again. This is the way of marble collecting. I am challenged all of the time—water off a ducks back (I am not an expert—but I am kinda good😁--I think at least). Once again, this is how we all learn. This post is not designed/desired as any form of attack on you personally. Sometimes the Horses around the marble collecting community just refuse to drink and sometimes we all need cleaner water. This is a passion for many and I am glad to see that the passion has not gotton out of hand here. Let’s just Marble—On!!

You do good work--I would take a second or third look at the bottom two for sure. Marble--On!!

Well Ric, I look at a lot of poutch's and the Master Pouch type stick out for sure--just because they are named. I have a collection of around 100 poutches and the one that I refer to is my only one--a lucky find today--the third one I looked at. I could not tell you how many times I have passed on this one but the Native American linked pouch is a very common find and I pass on most of them. I probably got this one in a lot of marbles--just a bonus. I cleaned it for you Ric--it is still a tad damp though. Surprisingly it had an inner liner ( at first I thought that it was old tobacco---yukkk) it just fell apart, the inner liner--it was rotton for sure. The outer poutch is deerskin---in good shape--the inner would only be a guess--maybe pigskin but it was black and maybe the black dye was it's misfortion and it was Deer Hide. The first image is as found--the second is cleaned but damp. An inner liner is not a thing that I have seen before--two seperate layers of leather--pretty cool. I also listed what I clean these with and what I condition them with after the leather dries out ( it gets quite stiff). I would not attempt this unless you are willing to fail. Marble--On!!

LOL Chad, I have no problem with Stephen Bahrs videos--I just think that something may have been lost in the translation here. The "Was Cut By Rollers" statement is just wrong of course. He was talking with the bosses--not the makers. If you have ever measured any of the smaller Atmos and compared them--they would have been the very worst machine made marbles ever. The sizes just never line up with each other-they vary by 1/8" or more. Eat some more popcorn Chad--(I love it!) This may take some time--- Marble--On!!

Well Ric, I started to look through my pouches and I found this one, the third one that I looked at😁 amazingly. It is dirty and beat up but the graphics are better. My scanner software is not working today--another upgrade is needed🤢. I would love to give an image--but not today. The image is true, and Harry touched it up a bit/ the top feather and the words below (which were more in a curved design originally). The softness is probably because of deer-skin instead of cowhide--the one that I have is also very soft and supple. Imho this was not associated with any marble makers. Just sold as-is--a marble poutch, a one of many-maybe from "Wall Drug" which would be special for any kid at the time. The brass dangles at the end of the strings make it an older one for sure. The one that I have just has shoe-strings. Thanks for the image and the story. This is my best-- Marble--On!!

Every day that you post helps someone out there--me included. Marble--On!!

Love it--it is more than likely an Akro Corkscrew. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Alox X2--great images! Marble--On!!

The first one is a Vitro "Conqueror". Most of these show up with a clear transparent color involved--yours is green transparent--pretty cool. The next two are what I would call WVS or west virginia swirls. The last two are more than likely from the beach--suficide😁---cool word! Marble--On!!

I am old to marble collecting and old also--Stilll need help though😁. Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". "Equator" is not a term that I am familiar with regarding collecting marbles. The only Marbles that seem to have an Equator are "double ingots" which are actually two marbles married. I will show two below. One is a double ingot Akro corkscrew--two in one. The next is an Akro Flintie---two in one also. Marble--On!!

I agree with Melissa here. If you search "AliBaba" you may find a name for them--or not. I believe that they are Chinese/Asian made. Nice group! Marble--On!!
