I'll roll with Master on this on. Bonus ribbon for sure. Nice color!! Marble--On!!

Here is an odd one, It has been telling me that it is a Pelt for years. What say you all? Marble—On!!

If you like Pelts, you better like blowholes. (Oh bummer—a blowhole, how often has that thought come to our minds?) We could make a whole thread on the different blowholes out there. Some are big some are small, some are just strange. Blowholes, a badge of honor? If you can’t beat them join them, only one side can be displayed at a time anyhow. Marble—On!!

Just nice deep red, the yellow is quite deep too. Thanks for asking. Marble--On!!

This is the first that I have even heard of them. I would love to see one. Marble--On!!

Some cute little Peltier pewee marbles. Marble—On!!

I agree x3--a nice one though. Marble--On!!

I was sorting some marbles today and found this one. I just like it and that should be enough in any collector’s world. Marble—On!!

I agree MK. Marble--On!!

That is one nice clean wet looking marble. Marble--On!!

Hi Ric, Just the way the colors bleed reminds me more of a MK than anything else. Cool little eyelashes to boot. It is a cool little orb, cool little eyelashes to boot. I would sort it as an MK—“blended” something.(you know,--bad on names😁) Marble—On!!

Error marbles used to be rare, when the wild existed. The wild (no pollution from any other outside source) is a rare and highly searched thing in today’s world. If you can find these error marbles in a verified collection that has never seen the internet or other collectors in sales or purchases-- rare imho. Marble—On!!

Regardess of the ID on this one, the OP, It sure looks like a dug/experimental marble to me. A Pelt no doubt--how many dug pelts are out there? A nice marble none-the-less. Marble--On!!

Well said, my marble collecting friend. You keep on keepin on for sure! Thanks, and Marble--On!!

Far less.

Imho, Oxblood is probably as old as glass is. Akro just perfected it. Marble--On!!!

Vice versa my friend, sorry for the confusion. Augers are a cool thing as are Spirals/Snakes. Augers are a bonus. The Spirals/Snakes come in many different colors and sometimes x2 colors. I could collect these forever and not find all of the colors, combos or variations. Thanks for the correction. Marble--On!!

jameswymer, Once that you get the Oxblood ID in your head, you will never forget it--ever. Research Oxblood on the web and be rewarded. Marble--On!! and Oxblood on as well

I would say that augers are about 75 to one vs Spirals. Not real rare but rare enough. When you have one that glows under UV----😁,----- They are always a nice find. Marble--On!!

The logo is a very fine printing. The detail is top notch. This box may have been produced by the knife company for the Akro folks. This could explain the difference in the logo, letter font and the glossy paper that this box has. If the Knife company produced the box it could explain a lot. This is a very cool item here that is worthy of any investigation and attention. Thanks for sharing it. Marble—On!!

The box is the one thing that may determine age in this instance. The marbles and knife may have been backfilled, very likely backfilled. The box is older Akro imho. My opinion is based on the print of the logo and the print on the ends of the box. I believe that to get an idea of the age of this rare item, we must consider all things and not loose track what the main item is ---the box. Research for advertisements is in order. Marble—On!!!

Nice "Prize Names"---an Akro Agate marketed term. Marble--On!!

Steph nailed it, Augers are like a drill bit inside of the glass. Snakes are a corkscrew on the outside or exterior of the marble. Spirals for sure!! Augers were not an intentional thing imho. Just the workings of marble making. Marble--On!!

I know that you are into the glow Mojo, I have a veli that glows pink under UV--the white part. Check em out! Marble--On!!

Mojo made a recent post about some marbles that he is making. I wonder??? Here is a link. Marble—On!! https://marbleconnection.com/topic/28391-marble-making/#comment-247034
