  1. When in doubt about slag’s I just call them Akro Agate and move on to the next. They made many many millions of slag’s. Marble—On!!
  2. I have had a few like these in my fingers. They felt like Vitro Agate to me. They have very nice round smooth glass. Marble—On!
  3. Pelt made a bunch of Peewee marbles--just sayin😁. The wee ones have a tendency to do their own thing. Marble--On!!
  4. I gave up years ago--Planting seedlings in early June is my way. I am quite attached to my little ones, I grow mine from seed. I hate when I have to put the plants into my compost in the fall and I thank them all for their service. The dry spring turned into a wet one and my pole beans, chard and others will have to wait. The ground temp is still below what it should be and seed rot is not worth the while. I am just lucky to have a few Radishes given the temp up and downs. There is nothing like a garden grown Radish, wash them off in a little rain water, chew them up and wait for the nose to clear, the hotter the better. I am not the one that wants the first—just the best for my uses. Wisconsin has turned into a late crop area—I will adjust. Late season Black Radishes—I can’t wait.
  5. That is a nice group of cats--they always look better in a group! Marble--On!!
  6. This is another Akro vs Vitro--I think that Cheese has it right. Marble--On!!

    Akro?

    I looked at this one quite a bit today. I think that the green color pushes it towards Akro vs Vitro. Marble--On!!
  8. I have one like this--not too common, orange on orange--Nice one! Marble--On!!
  9. This is a nice "corkscrew slag"----I just love it! Marble--On!!
  10. My Grandfather was a “Horse Shoe-er/Blacksmith” in WW1. He was gassed and survived—(coughed a lot—the Camel Straights did not help). He had two brothers that came back as well. Hats off to the ones that did not make it back—and the ones that did as well. Marble—On!!
  11. The first one looks like an Akro Corkscrew that did not finish like it should have. The second one is a Vacor Arctic Bear they have a tumbled finish to them. The third may be a Vacor Red Panda. As always, more opinions’ are needed and more than welcomed. Marble—On!!
  12. I wonder if #3 is an odd little Vitro. Marble--On!!
  13. Here is a bone Fire, I have seen in some videos of marble making that a worker will wipe down the rollers with something on a cloth during production. I wonder if this is the result. Marble—On!!
  14. Nice one Gladys, "End of Day" something--Cloud or Onionskin--just guessing. It is well worth a BUMP UP! Marble--On!!
  15. Nice one Da Roberto. Moray Eel or some snake name? Katydid in these parts. Marble--On!!
  16. It looks like a Master Made Marble to me--nice one. Marble--On!!
  17. I think that this one wanted to be a “Popeye”. Something went wrong—wispy green? If it were mine I would keep it with my Popeyes just for kicks. A pretty cool marble for sure. Marble—On!!
  18. Leroy knew when to quit! Marble--On!!
  19. I will call this one a Jabo---a nice one at that! Marble-On!!
  20. You have quite a variety of ages/times represented here imho. Left to right, according to your first image---A very nice two cut CAC slag the second a Vacor “Bluejay” and the third a Champion swirl---all are in my opinion and all need more input which is always welcomed and appreciated. They are all nice—the slag is stellar . Marble—On!!
  21. I am not procrastinating, the weather is. I would love to get my garden planted—maybe next week. As far as everything else—it can wait too..
  22. Nice slag, a little drizzle, almost a tail. I do not know if I would push it and call it a transitional though---maybe. Akro sounds good to me. Marble—On!!

    Confused

    Hello Mojo, The top image, lower right hand marble may be a Vitro and maybe the one to the left of it. The rest of them??? Marble—On!!
