akroorka

I have one that looks close in color to the one that you posted Mojo. I call this one a “Dark Red Zebra” at 11/16”. No need to get the fruits😁 or vegetables😁 involved here. (see how I covered my tracks) Marble—On!!

I recently purchased this cool “Witches Head” Toothpick holder. She helps watch over my collection just fine and also doubles as a cool marble holder. Made by the Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Company of Greentown, Indiana known by collectors as "Greentown Glass." This company made a bunch of the “chocolate” glass that you may have seen of your searches. Don’t freak out on me Greentown collectors, she is pretty chipped up, just not where it counts.🤑

The dog I had at the time was a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Shih Tzu---I am not going anywhere with the "designer" name for that one.🚫

I had a piranha in a tank for over 13 years--quite a friendly little fish---to me at least. He also had a friendship with my dog--unreal how animals connect sometimes. I wish that I would I would have had it mounted now.

That Heaton ornament reminds me of some hot peppers that I grow--almost time to order some seed---

Hello William. I never had this happen to me but I did find an article on it. Good luck. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-turn-off-voice-on-roku

Here is a cool article with images to boot. https://www.beachcombingmagazine.com/blogs/news/sea-marbles-holy-grail-of-the-beach

I have had a Roku for a long time, upgraded to a newer one several times. No complaints. Plenty of free stuff and plenty of new as well. Got a Roku TV a few years back for the living room. Same success. Roku On!!

11/16”-a busy little Brick.

Check this out.

Thanks for the link, my order is in🤩

I will just bet that it his wifes---he might want one too--LOL .

WoW--What a great find. I am surprised that even Roger Hardy has one--hens teeth for sure.

I see one Heaton corkscrew-red and white--cool beans. What do you call the stuff that they are bedded in--also very cool. Marble foam, I like it. Marble--On!!

I love this "pumpkin" color too. A rare find in an Akro marble--I wonder why? I have a few that were dug--next friday maybe? Akro--On!!!

Happy Birthday for sure. Sagittarius!--love it. The following applies to those over 60 as well😁 Yes I have one coming up as well.

The last three are far from common IMHO. I wish that I could help ID them. ( I suck at WVS ID) I can give it a bump though. Great marbles and great images as well! Marble--On!!

The purple one is awesome. Three different shades in one marble?--Killer for sure. The second one is not too shabby either--love it! Great group for sure. Marble--On!!

Just an awsome chocolate and red Pelt rainbo. I have seen one or two in hand. I agree HTF. Marble--On!!!

I agree with a possible CAC on the first one. This color combo in CAC marbles varies quite a bit, color/shade wise. More images needed one this one. No Jabo, Vacor or Pelt here. The second one is a WVS--vintage. Marble--On!!!

Akro I would say--maybe a Master. The Vitros are famous for the "V" but many patch type marbles from various companies will show this same effect from time to time. You just have to envision the glob of glass being rolled after the cutoff. I am surprised that it does not show up more often in other patches--other than Vitro. Marble--On

The first one is a killer Master Made marble IMHO. The second may be an Akro but I would sort it as a Master Made as well. Don't let the "eyelashes" fool you, I have seen them in Peltiers amongst others. I just call them like I see them. Marble--On!!

Top shelf Gladys, in any collection on the planet(or maybe the universe). Thanks for the extra images. Marble--On!!

Keep on posting Gladys--keep your mind in a healthy place. Too many is not enough!! You will never bore me. Love the Akro----especially the middle one in the second image. Marble—On!!!

Brothers are special, My youngest Brother served in the "First Gulf War" and a few other deployments including Afghanistan. Back in the first days, we communicated only via US mail and sent back and forth “mini cassette” tapes just to hear each other’s voices. He actually sent me a live Scorpion from the first deployment. It arrived alive and kicking---I froze it and put it into a block of Lucite for him when he returned. I was not too happy to find it but I always took precautions with him sending me stuff. He suffers from gulf war syndrome to the max, but he is alive and happy. I feel your pain non-the-less. Brothers— Sisters, Sons, Daughters, Mothers and Fathers on as well !!
