  1. Is that the "Sphere" in Las Vegas? Killer--what ever it may be. Marble--On!!
  2. Thanks Steph, I think that these originals with the brown included were more of a limited production marble. The boxes were made and purchased--stockpiled and the more colorful “Uniques’” were sold as such. The boxes that were recently being sold on e-bay are very “unique” to each other for sure and they are all Akro. I really doubt that the sale to Master had anything to do with the naming of these. Of course—this is all speculation and I just love this stuff---- Marble—On!!
  3. I love it too------but size always matter in marbles ID. Marble--On!!
  4. Akro "game marbles" often had a glow to them and I believe that many other makers did as well. Do not be surprised to find an Akro "Flinty" or a "Moonie" involved with a box of gamers. I have found them--you will too. Marble--On!!
  5. If only I could trust my wife to sort marbles--what a gem Mojo! Marble--On!!
  6. A Helmut with OX--prettty nice ! Marble--On!!
  7. Yes--pretty rare to find in my world though. A rare size as well. These are quite simple to the untrained eye—but pretty rare to find in my world though. Check it for UV reaction.--if you check them closely --they are even rarer. Try to line up five ---or ten of the same. This is what I do. Nice marble!! Marble—On!!
  8. This is the only Akro of this type that I have ever found. I believe that it is a "Hero". Marble--On!!
  9. Welcome back sillyworm! Marble--On!!
  10. That is a very nice find for sure! It looks like a little oxblood is inculded---nice! Marble--On!!
  11. Spam with peanut butter--maybe---
  12. I agree with Vitro--nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  13. The books are what they are--they are a good start for sure. Hero’s shown in the books and Unique’s as well are a very rare thing to find individually, let alone in a box full. I will stand by my assessment of "Unique’s" in the more generally found ones. Akro changed up many ID’s of the marbles that they sold—these that I show are more common—yet rare in the box form. I appreciate all comments and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  14. I wish that I could find this one--- I just figured it to be a weird "Zebra". Marble--On!!
  15. We all appreciate you and your asking for help--keep them coming! Marble--On!!
  16. Imho--the op is a Jabo--classic. I am just sayin-- Marble--On!!
  17. While my wife was pregnant with our first boy we went to a not so local restaurant for our anniversary. She ordered a seafood platter—surprise---one item on the platter had bones involved, like chicken bones. They turned out to be “Frog Legs”. They grossed her out—I munched them up—lol. Frog legs --on!!
  18. Yep! Nice find---!!!! Marble--On!!

    Akro?

    Ummm?---It is not an Akro--I agree for sure. This one needs some more opinions for sure. Regardless of the maker--it is a "top notch" marble. I will throw Pelt into the mix here. @Chad G. or @cheese will tell the tale for sure. Marble--On!!
  20. Akro Corkscrew! It may be a lazy one but I would put it with my corks for sure. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  21. There have been a few boxes of "Uniques" for sale lately on eBay. Have a look! I think that these are the real thing. Marble-On!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/386856144841 https://www.ebay.com/itm/386856146019 https://www.ebay.com/itm/364785638848 Here are mine. These are not sorted, there may be a few Vitro included. I am waiting to find a busted up box to put them in.
  22. It is a "Blue Boy". Marble--On!!
