Why do I always pull for the Beavers when they play OSU?--Gotta love a Beaver with Fangs. I may have missed out on something. Having looked at your marble numerous times I just noticed that it may have a transparent base. What is the story on this one? Marble--On!!!

Great marble Akro. I am Steelers fan as well "Wrapped In a Terrible Towel" Good one! Marble--On!!

I cannot get by the first image and would love to see some closer shots of the caramel colored one. A really great score!! Marble--On!!!

I just got done processing my Horseradish crop----I think Great stuff!!---I think

I do not really Know If Akro ever made "true" or intentional Orange slags. There are some that sure look orange though---a really hard find. I have no problem calling the OP an Akro red Slag. Marble--On!!!

Nice images for sure! I would not call this one a Vitro---closer to your home I think. Marble--On!!!

I am a big fan of Vacor “Red Roosters”. Let’s put them next to some Akro Corks that were marketed as “”Cardinal Reds” in the “Cardinal Reds” boxes that we are more familiar with holding “Cardinal Red” Slags. I am of course a Cork Head but these “Roosters” are some very nice ones and if you place them just right, they may fool you. Akro On!! And Vacors are not too shabby either!!

Sorry for this Ron, That Black is obviously dark green according to your images at least. A really great Marble--No Doubt----but---🚫 I would love to see some "True Black" in any marble that you may have. I am still convinced that it does not exist.🙈 Marble--On!!!

I had just turned 13 years old; with hormones running wild and I remember watching the “Ice bowl” with my dad and older brother on a little B&W TV in our “upstairs” bedroom because our main TV took a dive. (Thanks dad, RIP, for getting what you could) We had to constantly move the little “Rabbit ears:”to get a good picture (really bad weather throughout the state that day) ---Tears running down my eyes as the Pack went ahead for good. I may be a “Cork head” but I was a “Cheese Head” long before the name was coined. Show your teams colors/marbles—It is time for some Football!! This is serious stuff in Wisconsin as last night’s game was half Packer fans. You cannot imagine until you visit Green bay. How could I pass on this marble? Memories—On!!! And Marble—on for sure!!! Go Pack!!! And Go Badgers!!!

Thanks Al, Who could ever forget you-----well me I guess. Too many years behind me. Thanks for all that you have ever contributed. I have always enjoyed your post's Marble--On!!!! and collect bags on as well!!!

Hello Brock, This could be a Vacor "Old Fashion" They came in a bunch of different colors based on white. The construction looks like a big ole Vacor for sure. Here is a link that Chad Provided us a while back from "I forget" who provided it for him. They are listed down aways. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/liste_billes.php Marble--On!!!

So--are you sneaking back out there tonight? I would👀 Marble--On!!!!

I am a not a Pelt head Bee. I am a cork-head ----but---I have collected a lot of different things in my life. Patience is my ally in all of my collecting experience. This is a tad "out there" beyond patience. At least it looks like no shill bidders. Crazy stuff. Marble--On and ----Patience on as well!!!

Regardless of the name--those are top shelf Tiger-Eyes. Very well-filled for sure. Books and information regarding marbles is, and always will be-- in flux. No apologies needed for sure. I just call them like I see them---no disrespect is ever intended on my part. Keep on Keepin on and Marble--On for sure!!!

Size matters as we have all found out lately. Better to post twice than to post on the wrong topic--- I do not think that all "Parrots" came out as desired---Nice bunch though!! Marble--On!!!

Chuck, I agree with all that you have said about the Akro Hero colors. Hero’s were pretty deep in color though. The seams that show white in the seams point me towards an early veneered marble. I would not call this an MK or a Master Made marble. Maybe an earlier Master Glass….. A tough one no doubt. I just call them like I see them—no disrespect towards your opinions. Marble—On!!!

Whatever happened to the good old days when a hit mark did not matter that much—lets revisit these days from the past and show some nice but not always wet mint marbles. Fussy is fine but marbles are cool regardless of damage. Marble—On!!!

This is a tough one Schmoozer. Closer images are needed. From what I can see now, not Akro or Master. Foreign--maybe from south of the border. Marble--On!!

Ten years--I hope to be around to see them with the new technology available in the years ahead.👻 Marble--On!!!

#3 is not a cateye. Probably a Sunburst. Not all Sunburst marbles are blessed with color. Master made nasty cateyes. I will look for some to post an image of. Marble--On!!

Wow, Just amazing. No ideas---just WOW!!! Marble--On!!!

If I had to pick a "Comet" out of this bunch it would be the third marble. I thought that the first one may just be a UV reaction but you call it green so I will go with that. There are black and white comets that have a glow to them. Comets are one of the hardest to ID, Akro vs Master--especially the light "baby" blue and yellow ones. Marble--On!!!

Fun to watch for sure! Thanks Chad!! Marble--On!!!

It is a beautiful marble no doubt. It reminds me of a Peltier “Miller”. This one would be a Pelt Miller on steroids plus something else. Could you image a machine made like this? Great marble!! Marble---On!!!

"Compare the second one to to some Champion Furnace marbles while you are at it from the post above. Marble--On!!!" Sorry Fire, I made this post on the wrong topic. I meant to put it on the "Three for ID" that was posted last night. Nothing is directed at you, just a posting mistake on my part. I apologize for any hurts feelings and will watch where I put my postings a bit closer in the future. Marble--On!!!
