	3 1/4" last night, the first storm gave us 1/2". Windy like a Banshee it was and a good light show to go with it. We love storms!
- 
	The way that the green blends into the white points me towards Vitro with this one. Marble--On!!
- 
	3-3/4" of rain last night, lost power @1AM. Tornado spotted just south of us and the sirens were blaring. It was so dry before that the the sump pump has not run--yet. My rainwater collection system for the garden was depleted--not anymore! I can hold around 900 gallons and it fills up fast with that amount of rain.
- 
	X3 nice one at that. Marble--On!!
- 
	Welcome Zima Blue and keep them coming. We all just love this stuff! Marble--On!!
- 
	I think that I would sort this little gem as an Akro. Cool Marble! Marble—On!!

	Hello Leigh, According to Google, 13.9MM is 0.5472441 inches. A peewee is considered so when it is ½” or less. It sure looks like a Pelt to me though. Nice one! Marble—On!!

	I believe that the middle one is an Akro corkscrew, not real corky though. Marble--On!!
- 
	The third one is an Akro Carnelian, these are usually more of a swirl than a corkscrew but they do show up corky. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
- 
	There is nothing to hate there. Hand-mades in a net? Different for sure and kinda cool in their own way. A first see for me. China? Thanks for showing them and, Marble—On!!
- 
	I agree but this one looks veneered again, yellow over white---Vitro is my opinion. More opinions are always welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
- 
	Great stuff that we all try to apply here at the MarbleConnection. Keep posting and keep coming back! We all love this stuff. Marble--On!!

	  The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat Notice the "one way" sign---I know where it points--for him at least. Nuff said! Lets just Marble--On!!
- 
	Size matters and I am guessing that it is 11/16". That is a Champion swirl imho. Any further opinions are welcomed, needed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

	These are new to me today, I just got them in the mail. All 5/8”-11/16”. A really nice score for me. The first image shows what I believe to be “Ringers” and they are harder to find (for me at least) than Popeyes. The second image shows Flinties and you all know that I just love-em. There are few rare ones for me, a white one and a yellow one. The next image shows the rest and who can resist a nice light blue snake. The other two are just, well corkscrews and who can resist a nice cork? One does glow like the dickens—love that! They are still out there. Marble—On!!

	  These were in a grab bag of "vintage marbles"akroorka replied to TravelersMibs's topic in Marble I.D.'s Is this how some of the Jabo "Contract Runs" got the pink in them? Cool stuff! Marble--On!!
- 
	  Purchased as "vintage Peltier Peerless Patch"akroorka replied to TravelersMibs's topic in Marble I.D.'s Yes, a hardy welcome to you as well TravelersMibs. That is a nice group of marbles, the blue in them is really nice in the sunlight. Marble--On!!
- 
	In my house the marbles are mine the Akro Ware is my wifes, just to make that quite clear😁 We share though.. Marble--On!!
- 
	Here is another one Chad, No marks but Akro just the same. Westite made one as well (no darts) here is a link. https://magwv.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/C1F3D992-1E18-4C3C-8A83-244927259182 Marble—On!!
- 
	I do not agree with MK---no way imho! Get the popcorn out. Maybe a Vitro---or a Pelt, or I may be wrong and it may be an Akro As aways, all opinions are more than welcomed and needed. I just love this stuff!!! Tell us all what you may think, all of you!! Marble-On!!
- 
	The finish on this marble points towards Jabo for me. Marble On!!
- 
	That is a nice looking marble for 5/8", I thought that it was bigger until I went back and did some reading😁. Marble--On!!
- 
	Another slag vs swirl imho. I think that this one came from a company more well known for making swirls, it does look slaggy though. That lighter green pushes me that way. Marble—On!!
- 
	Ooooh that is a pretty marble. It looks like the Yellow is veneered over a white base so even though I want it to be an Akro I will slide aside on this one and wait for more opinions. Marble—On!!
