KILLER patch! Marble--On!!

Intriguing marble for sure Flowerangel8. Take it into natural sunlight and let nature reveal it to us—no flash imho. Marble—On!!

I agree—pretty common swirls that many companies made. Check # 4 for any UV reaction—it may be a Pelt imho. The other two (#1 and #2) may also have some UV reaction—probably Akro imho. Keep on keeping on and you will get it eventually. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more— Marble—On!!

#1 may be a swirl--#3 is probably a Pelt--- #5 looks to be"handgathered"--maybe a MFC. The rest are more than likely Akro imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more-- Marble--On!!

Whisplers--agreed! Marble--On!!

I agree with "Whispler". Marble--On!!

Hmm-consider Vacor "Blue Jay". Marble--On!!

I am seeing Jabo here--lets get @Nantucketdink involved. Marble--On!!

Wow--how do you make a round marble look flat?? There are plenty of "dug" Germans in the market--your first may be one--it does not look like "Play wear" to me. The second one is --well--pretty nice looking. Marble--On!!

I do not see any AV--some bubbles may fool you. I would sort this one as a Vacor "Twister". Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Consider Champion here----- Marble--On!!

Vacor imho. The first one looks like a “Jupiter” that has not been “frosted”. The second one looks like an “Arctic Bear” that has not been” frosted”. The names are unknown to me but I am getting Vacor vibes for sure. @Mojo and @Melissa may be able to straighten me out here. Marble--On!!

I agree that except for the last image—all are “Whisplers”. Good call Fire!! Marble—On!!

This one is either Chinese or a very bad version of some Vacor make. I am seeing frit or little pieces of glass that were intended to be on the outside of the marble. Marble—On!!

Is this an AI image??? Very cool!! Marble--On!!

These have fooled me as being more vintage--love em!! Marble--On!!

The bubbles are actually accentuated by the flash/lighting imho. I would call this one a "Vitro Horse Shoe" cat—in my humble experience. Marble—On!!

I would love to see some more of it. Nice "Moonies" or "Flinties"--tomato tomatoe. Nice marbles!! Marble--On!!

It has been a bit since I posted any new images—the Camera and Windows were fighting a bit. I found a solution and let’s get it on. I used to shoot with film—I am lucky to have the digital now. Let’s start with this one, my marble buddy Louie. The rest are images of a just killer one inch Akro patch—just killer imho—yes that is Oxblood involved. Yes a day early---I will take it if you do. I just love this stuff!! Marble—On!!

I like this thought--too small for a "Superball" but I have seen a few of these over the years. Balls made of "Rubber" that get quite hard on the exterior ( heat—like in an Attic). The damage on this one does not match very well with “Play or Pocket wear”—It may be a zombie rubber ball ---still cool though. Attic's ---On!!

They are Vitro imho. Marble--On!!

Welcome Aiden! You are a good fit here for sure--😁. Marble--On!!

Nice find! Marble--On!!

I used to have some more of these Akro “Lemon Drops”—I am darned if I can find them. Cool marbles, not a slag or a corkscrew—not a swirl—just an Akro---something. This is a weak one at 23/32”. They came bigger for sure. A bit of white with lots of yellow, they look like they should light up under UV—the yellow glows orange on this one. I think that you have an Akro there. Marble—On!!

Yes--pretty tuff. Akro Agate never advertised making anything under 9/16" as far as I know---but they were known by many old collectors to have included a "Peewee" marble on top of the bag when the "Popeye" boxes were sold. These are call Swea Peas( the spelling may be wrong) by collectors after Popeye’s adopted son. Although they are rare—“Master Made Marbles Marbles” also produced marbles under ½”. I will ID yours as a Master Made Marble and hope to see some more opinions. Pewees are a hard ID—they just do not act the same as a slightly larger marble. Perhaps @cheese has an opinion—or @Ric--or @Steph for sure. Many companies made Peewee Marbles--this one may be special imho. Marble—On!!
