I think that @shiroaiko may have an opinion on the OP. If @aussie has any opinions here they are welcomed as well. @YasudaCollector can step in any time--if he is not too deep into the books--LOL. Marble--On!!

I really have all that I could ever ask for Chad. If there was one marble that I would love to hold in hand-- it would be one of those CAC with the weird green/blue. These colors just knock my socks off and every time that I see one, I start to drool, I have never seen one in person, or held one--LOL. This is just a stolen image from Google. Marble--On!!

I am not a collector of contempory made marbles but this question deserves some attention. Marble--On!!

Killer marbles Mojo--great post here. Thanks for sharing these. Is the last one a peewee? Great Images!!!! Marble--On!!

Nice clear glass here--the colors are just top notch. I have seen quite a few cats--too many imho--but this one just knocks my socks off. It is just a killer marble! I do not claim to know who made it--Whoever made it--it was one of the best that they ever made. Nice images here--Thanks for sharing it. Marble-On!!

I would sort this one as a common WVS. No Akro here imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I actually found a "CAC Cobra" quite a few years back in a lot of Cats for sale on e-bay. I wish that I had an image. Oh well😄. It was out of my league and I sold it for a mear $550 at a show. I know, it was worth more--for sure. But $15 to $550 is a pretty good deal in any world. I still look--there are very Rare to find in the wild. They are still out there--just keep the search up! Marble--On!

I just love a good clear glass for some reason--bubbles are double that factor. This one is 2"--maybe an orb but still pretty cool to look at and hold. I just love this stuff!. Marble--On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
They do seem to be a hard find--these "Girl-scouts". I have a few that are not well covered that I found in a bag or two. I just love the Bumble Bees--these are getting pretty rare today--the older ones at least. Imho there are 200--300 Bumblebees--Maybe more, for each "Girlscout" found in my life. Luve -emm!! Marble--On!! -
Get back to us when you figure it out. Smartphones can be dumb sometimes. Marble--On!!

Me too, I also like the Ramblers--LOL. Marble--On!!
-
I would sort both as Alley. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marbles! Marble--On!!

@Al Oregon is the one to ask here and I am sure that he will chime in. I do know that Vitro actually shipped equipment back and forth to Washington State. Why they moved back and forth--I do not know/remember. Vitro has always been the Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler of the marble collector’s world. Akro was the Chevrolet, Pelt was the Ford and CAC had the disadvantage of being too rare—maybe a Duisenberg. There are a lot of Ramblers/Nash out there, lol. I owned many of them and stiil do regarding marbles😁. Marble--On!!

Love -em! Marble--On!!

There are a few companies that made "Corals". I could care less who made them--I just love them. I am a coral freak for sure. Thanks for sharing this one. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

X3--nice find and nice ID on your part. Marble--On!!
-
Sometimes these Akro Slags bury the white. This one may have a stream of buried Oxblood—check it close—you never know. Nice ID on your part. Marble—On!!

Welcome Carrie Ann to "TheMarbleConnection". 200 marbles may seem over-whelming to you right now. I get it and I remember the same feelings--many years ago. Pick out the top ten in your opinion and post them. Nice crisp images well cropped. We will all guide you after that post. Marble--On!!
-
Wow, you scored! Nice marble! Great images as well. This may be a weak one but it sure as heck is very cool. Nice finish and surface on this one. You may be locked in now to this type--use both eyes and do not forget the other makers. Just some advice that I give because I have been there. This type--CAC is just rare to find. Good job!! Marble--On!!

Nice images--Nice marble! Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

You better get back to the books Yashuda😁. Marbles will not pay the bills-lol. Marble--On!!
-
Some of the very best cats ever made Yashuda--notice the nice clear glass--these were well cooked. ( well cooked meaning that they took the time to get this clear glass right to the top--it took some time in the furnace to achieve it) I just love a nice clear glass--the colors are nice too👍. Marble--On!!

These Pelt Rainbos can be all over the place as much as any Akro. Keep on the track and you will get the drift. This is just fun stuff--just amazing fun stuff that will take some time and most importantly--some stress out of life. When you hook on to marbles--all is in the background--for a while anyhow😁. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble--On!!
