akroorka

This one falls into the better than nothing category for sure. I would be proud to own it just as it is. Rare anything is just a hard find. Oh no!! for sure---but I will settle for the "oh well" sometimes. Marble--On!!

They are both Veli imho and nice ones at that. Marble--On!!

Very nice indeed--A really great marble! Marble--On!!

I agree--Akro. Marble--On!!

This one may be an Akro imho. That is the way that I would sort it anyhow. CAC slags are a step above and I always treat them with respect. Marble--On!!

I agree. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Nice marble, Not a Jabo imho. WVS and an older one. More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

That one is an Akro for sure--Liberty? Dug or broken--it does not matter,---dug imho. Marble--On!!

Swirl vs slag---it is hard to tell. Marble--On!!

Yes Vitro---no name from me😁. Marble--On!!

X2---Not a Pelt. marble--On!!

I think that I would call this one an Akro---quite swirly but more opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

I have posted this before,but it is worth another shot.

I have a lot of "Sunbursts" but the 5/8" are a hard find for sure. I checked and was bewildered, I can do no better than what you show at 5/8". Live and learn! Nice Box Bill, I would have never guessed that it was that small. Marble--On!!

Here are two that Leroy did for me, I was not aware that he had passed on—RIP. He was great at communication and I always trusted his advice, he never pushed it. You can only imagine some of the great marbles that passed through his hands. These are both 1 ¾” plus. Marble—On!!

For sure Fire. You are closer to the real deal than I am🤘. Marble--On!!

This is my guess---a shooter with 14 marbles. Marble--On!!

I agree that it is a Vitro marble---name wise--no help here. I do think that this one is an earlier version of a Vitro. As always , more opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

I had the books out, so what the heck. All that I can come up with is"Solid Core". More opinions are needed and respected of course. Nice marble for sure what ever it may be called. Marble--On!!

Here is a “Banded Opaque” at 13/16”. I have a lot of books and I had to go back in time to find a name for this one, Grist 1992. If there is another name for this one feel free to say so, live and learn! Marble—On!!

Here are three pretty cool ones. Marble—On!!

This is a tuff one, it almost looks like a cat-eye that disintegrated. (not that I have ever seen such a thing) Marble—On!!

I posted earlier today about some that are being sold as "beach washed"--the same trap for new collectors as any polished machine made may be. I have some saved polished Akros some place in the realm as well. These have never bit me but they have bit some of my loved ones giving them as gifts---it just burns my Donkey. This may turn out to be one of the greatest threads for the uninformed. I urge you all to get involved as I will tomorrow. Post the ones that may have turned you to the dark side of polished machine made marbles. I just hate them--- Really!! Just my humble opinion of course, Marble—On!!
