I am with the "Real North" where you have to play outside--like the Bills! ( the almost Packers) Wear a coat, wear your underwear, get real get North!!! The Eagles will be a second choice--just because they play outside. Oh--by the way Ohio state does not count here--lol.š.

I have been out for a few days--this one deserves a bump-and an opinion from @Chad G.. Marble--On!!
-
Neither are Vitroāthe first one deserves a look from our European Champ @Mojo imho. Nice "sparkles" in the fist one--I wonder??? AV?? It seems a tad out of round but it could just be your camera lense. Nice marbles non the less! Nice images as well!! MarbleāOn!!

It is a keeper--nice marble! I think that "the space junk" is mostley bubbles and that is why I shy away from it being a Veiligglas. It may be one--a Veiligglas or it may be a WVS imho. ( think that Alley Agate is a good start here-- @Chad G. or @cheese or @Ricwill have a better opinion than I) Hers is a nice video explaining Veiligglas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYw2-B4BWnc Marble--On!!

Transparent Green Marbles with white patches
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I was thinking Vacor as well. I cannot name it though the green base reminds me of Vacor. @Mojo knows these pretty well--lets call him up for an opinion. Marble--On!! -
It is a Vitro imho the colors are close to being an "Exotic", just missing some colors. This one has to be set aside as a "one--of" for sure. I like the "Brown Oxblood" effect of the stripe on this one--yes--I do look hard. Very cool imho! Marble--On!!

Jabo Classic--meaning a production made marble--not a "contract type". These big ones are hard to find in good condition--yours looks pretty good--a keeper for sure. These usually show up with little white hit marks. This one shows some wear( they are usually quite shiny). Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Another 1 But I Think it's a Gooden
akroorka replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This one qualifies as a slag imho--by an unknown maker. Many companies made slags. Marble--On!! -
Nice marble! Nice images! Marble--On!!

Darker Brown and Dark Brown Swirl with Thin Reddish Lines
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This image reminds me that it is winter and all kinds of dust will stick to almost anything in the dryer conditions. Cool image--just dust imho. Jabo--Yes!! Marble--On!! -
Well----"Wet Mint" is a misnomer for most seasoned collectors but yours look at the very least "Mint". These are not real old but they are real cool--very cool. They may Be MK "Painted Turtles". @Melissa knows these pretty well--lets call her for an evaluation. Marble--On!!

Notice the little line of Oxblood. Marble--On!!
-
This one is a keeper regardless of the damage. I do not recall seeing anything this large in an Akro before. Nice "Cork". Marble--On!!
-
Peltier "Rainbo"--nice one! Marble--On!!

Never be afraid to show the top of the box with this one Tommy. I just sent a pouch to match your boxes "well used" look. It is a cool find with a bunch of "Patina āinvolved. I only wish that I knew the story behind it, just imagine it-that is enough. Many would have tossed this one aside--this one deserves to be shown as a "Relic". Well purchased and preserved, I just love this stuff. Measure the top left hand marble--top row--it may be a Pee-Weeāyep, āMasterMadeMarblesā made a few Pee-Weeās, very cool to find. Marble--On!!

The Furnace types have never been under-rated imho-- The Champions as a regular run marble have been though--imho. Nice Marbles!! Marble--On!!
-
I do not know your marbles as far as rarest goes. This one show traits of a Crow imho. Post it in the ID section for a better idea--this is Akro Friday--not really a place for discussion of ID Love it--- Marble--On!!
-
So do I. This one shows what we collectors would call "Pocket Wear". If it is a Jabo I would be surprised--WVS of some sort imho. Lets call in @cheese for an opinion. Marble--On!!
-
X2--nice find!! Marble--On!!
-
I just love this type of marble--it just feels old looking at it. Very cool! Marble--On!!
-
I believe it--you swirl guys are Wizards as far as I am concerned. Thanks for all of your hard work--and passion for this hobby. Marble--On!!
-
Nice marbles! Check the black--if it is black--for AV--maybe a crossover type. Marble--On!!
-
I would love to see them also. I have a few that he collected from the Jabo runs only--he had a good eye and I have a bad way of keeping them named via collector. This may be one.

Chad is right on here. Imho this is a weak attempt at making a marble. Perhaps someone just is getting into glass making and trying out orbs. Is it cool?āwell it sure is, I love the colors. I will not lie here and tell you that it is great. If the maker was proud of his/her workāit would be signed. MarbleāOn!!

Champion made some great marblesāI agree Ric. Nice marble!! Nice well cropped images as well. MarbleāOn!!
