Well Onions are round,there is a marble named after them and they just taste good. They fry up better than marbles too. Onions On!!---more needed for sure!!

Here is a nice swirl just a hair under 7/8”. Nice coverage all around but thin on the blue color. Two shades of white, one of which is translucent, the other being opaque. Nice deep red. The is some slight orange peeling. Could this be a Jabo? Thanks and Marble—On!!

My first impression on the first one was "wow, what a wierd cateye". I can't call it--cool one though! Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm, Nice big long cut lines on this one. More opinions needed. Marble--On!!

I think this one is a Vitro. Nice one! Marble--On!!

I agree Berryb. After examining the glossier hit-marks, it does appear to be a glass marble polished by the sands of a lake or ocean. A cool thing, does it backlight? Marble—On!!

In the earlier days these were called "Planets" now they are "Galaxy's", for quite some time. Marble--On!!

Here is a marble “Made by Masters”. Just a hair under 1” You may think Akro on this one but the twin that came along shows the true maker, it is just not my Sundays best. I really love the old Master Made marbles and at one inch, this is my best ever, I love it—top shelf stuff for me and pretty rare at this size. These marbles were made to compete with the USA and German hand-made marbles and the hand-cut agates from Germany and California as well. They are really the toughest, most resilient, machine made glass marble ever made imho. Marble—On!!

I agree. It is either a poorly made contemp or a really killer oldie. I would not venture a guess. You are a ball buster Fire---Love it. Marble--On!!

This is the best group of slag’s that I have seen in quite awhile jten. The biggggg one is just killer, the yellow one I could look at all day long. Keep them coming whatever they may be. Marble—On!!

This is with no doubt the very best Vacor that I have ever seen in this size. A really great marble Chad! Marble on!!!! and adjust with the times on as well---Killer marble

Brick? (Fingers Crossed, But Not Holding My Breath)
akroorka replied to Marbleized's topic in Marble I.D.'s
It seems that Brian has laid back a bit over the last few years. I hope that he did not do this because of any heat applied from collectors---screw opinions and keep them coming is what I say. He has made some guinea marbles in years past that are just killer. Buying some of these guinea's and researching them from a not-so-honest seller is what turned me on to Brian. His Oxblood is some of the best ever made, and I mean ever-made by anyone. Oxblood is king in my world and those past guinea marbles should be re-thought and remade. Marble--On Brian Graham!!! ---A really true machine made artist!!---Less is always more. https://www.briangrahamglass.com/marbles/ -

Here are my best bricks. Yours blows them away. The second image is a Brian Graham Brick. He makes his own oxblood and it is very nice, made on the old Pelt "Miller" machine after a hand gather. I love em. -
Ok Fire, I am back on the Akro train with this one. Double ingot--probably an experimental (dug) marble. Blow holes are not exclusive to Pelts. I just call them like I see them-- Marble--On!!

It is a very nice wet Brick--top notch no matter the size. Very nice--very nice indeed! Marble--On!!!!!!!!!! -
The last marble looks like a "Fried" Vitro. Kids would take these things in years past and cook them until they started to crackle up without breaking apart. I remember taking old lawnmower engines and dumping anything imaginable into the carburetor just to see what happened---it was fun and looking back, dangerous, but what the heck---who knew? Lots of smoke and very cool smells. We used to take rolls of cap gun ammo and squeeze it in a vice just tight enough to hit it hard with a hammer and make an explosion, I would like to try that again—what fun it was. Video games seem to have taken all of that great dangerous stuff out of the lives of our young ones. For better or for worse. You decide. Marble—On!!
