The red one may actually be an Akro “Flintie”—they come in a variety of looks, some look very opaque in hand and some will not. Backlight it and look for a pronounced “fisheye” effect no matter how you turn it. “Flinties “are opalescent—hard to tell with the red ones though. The green one—looks like an Akro to me. Marble—On!!

Nice marble for sure Joe2. I love this one—nice marble for sure!! Vacor? Or WVS—I love it just the same. Marble—On!!

Vacor... Fiesta.... can’t tell if it’s a roll or pontal
akroorka replied to boris64's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I do not blame you for keeping it in your pocket for a week or so. It is a nice one. Vacors will be dug out of your "jug" in the years to come, they made some bad ones but some are just real nice. Marble-On!! -
#2 is a WVS—no maker from me #3 is a very nice Jabo—very nice! I appreciate all opinions and welcome some more on these. Marble—On!!

Either is what you have😁. I like these big ones. Marble--On!!

I agree with Step--the last image kinda blew the yellow out on the last one---Pelt PP imho. Marble--On!!

"Fiesta"--yes--nice one--nice coverage. Is this a bigger marble? No Pontil--Vacor trait with the badly rounded seams/folds--especially in the bigger ones. Marble--On!! -
The transparent glass throws me off---yet--it could be? Marble--On!!

These are up for debate but they did show up in the "Later" Akro #230 and #300 boxes. Master Glass did put some of these out after they purchased Akro, supposedly using old Akro stock marbles. Just my humble opinion--as I remember it anyhow. Marble--On!!

Nice Rainbo. Marble--On!!

This sure looks like one (St. Marys?) Marble--On!!

I would call this one a Vitro '"All Red". Nice one! Marble--On!!

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

I do not think that is a good way to age them, boxes are the best way to get an idea of age--if they are not backfilled. Alot of colors of Akroware has a glow to it. I just checked they wifes display and it seems that pink and jade green do not have the glow--small sample I know but worth checking on. Marble--On!! -
To tell the truth--this one reminds me of an Akro "Lemon-drop". Not too common--an older collectors name--they usually have some more twist to them. Nice marble--Nice size. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

If I was collecting the Akroware instead of marbles--I would have a bunch of "amber"--I like it--even more now, thanks to your revelation. Good find! -

Thanks for the offer. The truth is, my wife is not a big fan of amber pieces--I had to look like heck to find this one. It must have come too cheap to pass on😁. Each to their own👌. Marble--On!! -
Nice ones!

That is a nice discovery. The glow, I never would have thought that amber had a glow to it. I had to run and see what the wife’s collection had in it. Here is a cool one. That was an excellent purchase. Marble—On!!

Don't rule out Champion with this one. Marble--On!!

It all depends on the monitor that you are using and the colors that it is showing with this one. I see all of the colors that wormie is describing along with a bit-o-white. I would not call this one a Jabo--WVS imho--no maker from me. I appreciate all opinions and welcome some more. Marble--On!!
-
I have seen those colors in a MK. This one is a little wonky. I suck at names but it worth a bump! Marble--On!!
-
Me too--nice looker! Marble--On!!

Vacor X2.
-
I am not sure about all of the colors of Acme Realors but the black ones are with opal base glass. Nice marble----PPP. Marble--On!!
-
The left one is a Vitro imho. The right one I would blame on MK, not so sure though. Could be a Vitro. Marble--On!!
