Thanks Gladys, Great images--- I still think that this may be a Master Made Marble. It could be one that was missed by the Quality Control during a change in the desired end product. The furnaces did not quit, they just kept on going until they could no longer hold together. The blue and white were not intended to be part of this marble, or visa versa, this is the way that it went and finished as you see it. This is my best opinion and I hope that more are coming. Marble—On!!

Show some more images and lets make this a longer post Gladys. It is worth it imho. Marble--On!!

This is a weird one as far as I am concerned—good job once again Gladys. I would not call it a MK. I do not think that it is a Vitro. It looks more like a Master than an Akro to me. Some shots of the cutoffs straight on where the base glass appears cutoff may help any others to give their ideas, which are needed and respected as always. Marble—On!!

Carowill-Fairly new to The Marble Connection
akroorka replied to Carowill's topic in Introduce Yourself!
Welcome Bill, nice cateyes! -
Just based on the colors I would say that this one is Westite. The Westite plant had a fire that ended production and Akro purchased many of the molds. I cannot recall if Akro reproduced this one or not. Nice find!
-
This one was not made the way that it was intended to be made imho. It could be one of many different makers. Marble--On!!

I think that they are both Pelt😁. More opinions are needed-lol Marble--On!!

Hi Ron, I have the same problem and I discovered yesterday that if you click on the really big ones they get smaller instead of bigger. Who knew? Marble--On, and save those eyes!!

Gladys, I would call this one a Top Shelf Master. ( I really wanted to call it an Akro Sparkler ) Just a really great Master Made marble--thanks for sharing this beauty with us. You sure can pull out the best! Marble--On!!

Here's a bullseye agate you don't see every day
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
That is a very cool Agate! That mossy part must be a tad (or a few tads) more delicate. -
I think that it is a Master Gladys. Nice bright colors---old glass(batch?)---cool marble. Marble--On!!

These Oxblood patches have always caught my eye. Here are four that also caught my pocketbook. This type of patch has a whispy white interior which just could be opalescent. It is hard to really tell with the oxblood involved while backlighting—just instincts. I have only seen this type with green and with yellow included. Anyone seen any other colors? Marble—On!!!
-
I agree, the depth of the oxblood really shines in these images Gladys. Marble--On!!
-
Nice colors, This one was made overseas. Marble--On!!
-
So do I. Nice bright white in that one! It is good to see that someone has sunlight today Gladys. Marble--On!!

I agree Al, I just checked out a couple of bags that I have and they can really be all over the place. I wish I could give an image but the bags are just too cloudy. The OP’s have nice clear glass and no visible cutoffs like most Pelt bananas do. Marble—On!!

Post em if ya got em, my nerves are intact.🧐 Marble--On!!

This is a cool marble. It appears to have two separate streams of white that follow each other for awhile. One of the white streams looks like it may be opalescent, though you could never really prove that with that dark base color. Cool marble—no ID from me. Marble—On!!

Here is a link, they may be Chinese. My first thought was Vacor as well—you just never know. Marble—On!! https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/glass-marbles_60242667531.html?spm=a2700.details.0.0.5a387f554BlNDI

The little critters on these boxes just kill me, they look like a cross between a cat and a French Bulldog. Thanks for sharing this Ron.

Yes, The peltier Zebra--they sometimes show up with some nice AV included. Yours is an Akro corkscrew. There are some close to yours in color that will have oxblood buried below the blueish color and it will take a very bright light to see it many times. Marble--On!!
-
You are not alone, Jabos fool a lot of folks including me. Marble--On!!
-
This one was played with--alot. Consider it an old "Warrior". The amount of sub-surface moons and hit marks make it an old "Warrior" for sure. It was the favotite of someone playing the game. It is a slag. Marble--On!!

A word of advice for mice--those electric plug-in devices do work---better than anything that I have tried, just find one with a good rating. Two years ago I had mice litter (you know) in my cat’s food bowl; he lives in the basement and never goes out. He had one of the worst cases of fleas that I have dealt with---I wonder why---. The vet told us to use him as the exterminator and we had to collar him with that nasty chemical crap in a collar—it worked, but I went to work as well and tried everything to save him from further distress. The plug-ins worked and he is happy just spitting up a hairball here and there (not me so much) Cats –On!! and Mice---stay outside (really cute little critters—but very destructive) Marble—On!!
