Need help ā„Oxblood translucent base size 5/8's
akroorka replied to Gladys's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Yes Gladys, I looked at all of the images. This is what I see; A veneered marble with veneering that does not quite touch side to side. Seams/cutoffs that at least look like I could feel them with my fingernail. Some separation in the veneering. Opposing colors top and bottom and oxblood looking glass reminiscent of that seen in Marble King marbles. There may be some pollutants in the whitish broken line. And a water buffalo with cutoff horns The base glass does not matter much to me in this instance. In my world this would be sorted as a MK. I just call them like I see them. Still a great marble. Keep em coming! MarbleāOn!!! -

Here is a great video for those of you hesitant to post any marbles that are not āperfectā. This collector has such enthusiasm for what she does that it makes me want to go out to the shores of Lake Michigan and do my own thing. Monetary value does not drive all collectors, it is the search and find that drives most of us. I used to go metal collecting and remember the joy of finding a penny instead of a pull-tab. Collect what you like and what turns you on for sure. Collect on!!! Show what you have and enjoy all of the collectors that "light up" with the happiness of a āfindā!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN3oG--8yFs

Here are a few pee wee Pelts. I am not 100% on the yellow one but that is how I sorted it, so I will stick with it for now. (it could be a Vitro) I love these little Peerless Patches, such depth/color to them. MarbleāOn!!

I have this same image in my filesš“āā ļø. Some of the hardest work that I ever did buying a marble on e-bay was a large group with what I thought might be a hidden Grey-coat. I was never convinced but I did buy the lot. It turned out to be an Akro. I was not disappointed in the least. If I can find it I will post it in the future. MarbleāOn and Dream on as well!!!

A Liberty, Rebel, Grey-coat mix. Imho. A great size, in great shape and it may be one of a kind! A SUPERB marble!!! Keep em coming Gladys MarbleāOn!!!

Hello Gladys, Not an Akro--MK. A nice marble, once you put some light on it. MK marbles show up with some Ox from time to time. When ever I see the little "hooks" on the top or bottom of a marble(sometimes both) like I have shown in the following image I start thinking MK. Mentally, I have always thought that the whole "patch" with the included hooks/cutoffs at the ends looked like Water Buffalo horns that were cut off or shortened. Marble--On!! -

I would sort it as a Master as well. Killer marble Gladys. Marble--On!!
-
Why not Veiligglas Mojo? I am sure that not all of the marbles that they produced are the "killer" examples that we see posted online. Marble--On!!
-
I have one that looks close in color to the one that you posted Mojo. I call this one a āDark Red Zebraā at 11/16ā. No need to get the fruitsš or vegetablesš involved here. (see how I covered my tracks) MarbleāOn!!

I recently purchased this cool āWitches Headā Toothpick holder. She helps watch over my collection just fine and also doubles as a cool marble holder. Made by the Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Company of Greentown, Indiana known by collectors as "Greentown Glass." This company made a bunch of the āchocolateā glass that you may have seen of your searches. Donāt freak out on me Greentown collectors, she is pretty chipped up, just not where it counts.š¤

The dog I had at the time was a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Shih Tzu---I am not going anywhere with the "designer" name for that one.š«
