You did well Fire, even today these tire Akros do not pull that much money First of all they are hard to ID, second of all the folks that want these are mostly car collectors. I just like em. Just a hard ID and a win when you find them. Marble--On!!

This is a good thread. Lets keep it going. I am a big sucker for these. I just wonder how crazy they can get. Master Jewel Trays made by Vitro--I have two of them and get excited to find another. The normal sized one is posted in the Master sized. Marble--On!!

Welcome here to TheMarbleConnection Satanik1. Chad and I can knock heads here once in awhile but that is what keeps it fun--for both of us. I agree with the Pelt ID--"common" is up for question imho. The green here is not a common find imho. As always I appreciate all comments and ideas----Rare--not too rare. Keep your images well cropped and very sharp in the future. Marble--On!!

I just love this stuff Chad.

This "Brick" is just a very nice example. Whether it is Akro or MFC?? To a “Brick” collector this is like cutting frog hairs. I appreciate the details that akronmarbles has explained for sure—he is more than likely right on here. I just love this stuff—great info share Akron! This is just a “Killer Brick”. I just love it! Marble—On!!

Stay off the coffee my freind😁. We need some nice clear images here. Lay them out in a way that we can seen them all. Even better yet--pick out four or five that you think are cool and lets start over. Nice crisp images--well cropped and ready to sell. We all can wait for your best images and look forward to them. Marble--On!!

Of course it could be. This is where the stick meats the Matchhead YashudaCollector. Take a stab at being more definative. I have been shot down many times troughout my career of collecting marbles. I try to ask for more opinions in most of my posts but I will say what I mean and see. Getting corrected is just the way of learning what to ID with these cute little orbs. Standing on an ID will get you Grief. Stand on what you think and ask for others to chime in. Marble---On!!

It is just--- not a slag Fire. Marble--On!!

Just a guess here my marble collecting friend. Everyone used cullet. You may be right here though and I accept that. I appreciate the response. CAC was short lived and this may be the reason. Marble—On!!

Yep!

Wooden Hand-Cranked Marble Machine

LOL--a lot of work went into this device--Wood? A true crafts man/women--but wood? He/she will figure it out--I am sure. I appreciate the Passion here. 80 weight oil may help but not for long. I just love seeing this stuff and I wish him/her great luck. And I thought that I was crazy??? Nice share here! Marble--On! -
Stay tuned--these ID's will change over the years 35 years ago I sold some very nice CAC to a buyer that was very happy to recieve them. They were Alley Agates and stiil worth what he/she payed for sure. I am sure that he/she is not mad--I do not feel bad either--this was just the way back then. We all learn, everyday. Marble--On!!

@Nantucketdink is the expert here and I am far from it. Lets call him up for an evaluation. Regardless--these are just killer images. Marble--On!!

I am not a marble guru by any means, but I will always give my best opinion. Look for more opinions here--I appreciate them all. Marble--On!!

It is not a CAC but it is a great looker. You have some great, well cropped images here--Thanks for that. I would consider this one as a Jabo--Classic. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Wooden Hand-Cranked Marble Machine

I could not open it but I get the drift here. I am just an old fashioned--not into the social media stuff--type guy. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!! -
Ummm-- 3/4" in a spray can would be over kill for sure. The smaller the better in shaking it up. I would lean towards a Vacor of some type. @Melissa may have a clue here--but this is a hard one to ID. Nice try on the images--some of these frosted ones can be a bitch to image in a good way. It may just be a commercial made marble, made for polishing something other than glass. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Orange is a hard color to determine in an online image. This is where images and cutlines come into play. Notice the white and -get away from the orange here. CAC, no doubt, used some cullet--but most of the glass that they made in their short existance was made in house. We all tend to look at the colors--this is just the way of us/we collectors . This is just a nice deep white--very nice to look at. It does Pop for sure--but why does it Pop?--The white imho. The cutlines and the overall appearance of the marble make me say CAC "All Day Long". I would call it a swirl--a very nice swirl. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble regardless--this one is no Alley. Marble--On!!

These "Bricks" , with the just killer Homemade or "Batch white" are some of the tops imho. These are Marbles that were made "In House" with glass that was made "On sight"--no cullet included here imho. Just good old fashioned Glass making. I love these--to the limit. Great marble!!

Al is right on here. Marble--On!!

Yep--the lower left . Marble--On!!

Alta, Canada had more of an advantage in the collection of English marbles than we did here in the USA. I believe that this one came from England. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!

Hmm, Vitro is the best that I can come up with. Marble--On!!

Crazzy stuff Fire--just crazy. Love it! I do the same with a pen when I am talking on the phone--well, not quite the same----quite a bit less imho. I was never trained. I just hate talking on the phone and I have to do something while putting up with it. I scrabble--a fine art---Scrabbiling--- We all are marble collectors here and I doubt that few that post here do not appreciate fine art. I am a lover of Van Gogh--I still have two ears though--so far--😁. Marble--On!!
