Pretty cool marble. Not many bubbles involoved either--different. This one is a Peltier "Rainbo". I am not a name expert--but this one looks too dark to be a "Tomato". I have grown many tomatoes in the back yard and the "Black" varieties are my faves. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!

Marble--On Mojo!!!

The Nickel Guy sent me some keepers fo sure. Notice the blue/white "Apple" @ 4:00. Two CAC-- really? ---They are Very "minty" marbles as well. The rest are just killer examples--a nickles worth would have done here for sureš. I just love this stuff! Thanks Fire---and "The Nickle Guy" for sure. Marble--On!!

akroorka replied to DHUNNIE 27's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Well--well --well !!, You never know do you? This is a first for me. I would not call it "Lutzā. It looks like a machine made marble to me. That is about as black as any that I can remember as being called āblackā Letās call in a @cheese for an opinion. Happy Holidays all. MarbleāOn!! -

We sure did--I love this stuff and we are only a few years apart in age--cool stuff. I did send a Nickel--but The Nickel Guy still has a problem with the number five. Thanks Fire--great stuff--great idea. Marble--On!!

Thank you for posting these. Try to focus about a third down from the top. If you have a "Macro" setting--use it on marbles. @Chad G. has given me a lot of tips over the years for taking images as well as--well marbles IDš. Keep on trying and no pressure--just do your best and accept some tips now and then. @Fire1981 has been pruducing some fine images lately--it does take some practice. I still use a camera (no smart phone----yetš), and I take multiple images picking out the very best---deletion is a great thing once you get the hang of it. You do have the cropping part down pretty well. Any and all opionions here are more than welcomed. Marble--On!!

These images do not give a great idea but I would lean Vitro given the images. Merry Hollidays! Marble--On!!

The second image--the large cutline---Maybe not an Akro but a Vitro imho. Akro was not quite perfect and there are a lot of "dug" marbles out there for sale. This unfinished cutmark points me away from Akro here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Nice group Melissa! Images 4 and 6 have me wondering though. The last is just very nice---š. Merry Hollidays to you as well!! Marble--On!!

Orange on white swirls but I think are a little different?
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This sounds right to me. Marble--On!! -
I want to call it a big "All-Red" but this one is special--- "All-Red"--just a special one--almost "Exotic". Pretty cool find! Marble--On!!
-
At this point I would call it a "Large Vitro". Size always matters with marbles IDš. Marble--On!!

Baby, I was born this way. Creased marble
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Good call Alan. The White/Green parts remind me of a "Jabo Classic". I have seen a few "bigger" ones in this color combo. Marble--On--and Merry Holidays for sure. -

akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
There were pleny of Akros made that look like this one. If we have another member taking images while driving---not for me for sure. The images could be sharpened up a bit--I suspect that these were taken while the "Hemi" was rattlling--or not. Maybe a "Coyote"? Marble--On!! -
Good one--I am sure that he would--lol. Marble--On!!

A pretty colorful solid swirl . . . well, at least I think so
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This is what counts! Marble--On!! -
Well that was before my time here--this might help in your search. I discovered Brian on my own after I purchased some "guineas' a few years back that I knew were false (not CAC). I did the research (Fun --great fun) and found out what I needed to know. Maybe @akronmarbles can help you with your search. The marbles are posted below. Marble--On!!
-
These are my thoughts-- Post it in the ID section with some more images and a size. This one is worth the effort for sure.(do it at homeš please). Marble---On!!!

I have a few of his including oxbloods. If you find it give me a hollar, I will be at the very least helpful with an ID. Brian made his own recipe for oxblood--just killer marbles!! Funny how I just found mine in a minute. Marble--On!!

I agree with Vacor. If this one has an Iridescent āor metallic finishāit is a āSpumoniāimho. With no iridescenceāmaybe a āParrotā. Yours is pretty cool! MarbleāOn!!
