akroorka

Sundays best for sure. Of course I collect Akro--but I collect pouches as well. I had this pouch and marble verified by the King and Queen of Akro. Thanks for that—Great folks, the Hardy’s. The marble is one of six or so that they have seen and they have one that looks exactly like the one that I show here. The fist image is natural, the second under black light, the third is backlit. The pouch, well what can I say, I did not need it to be verified but they sure liked it and were glad to see some of the stuff that is still out there to be found. I wonder if these may be a paired set for winner of a marble tournament, probably will never know. I collect pouches and I will never top this one. (Well, you never know, do you?) Collect on!!

MFC x3--nice one! Marble--On!!

I think that the first one is an Akro patch of some name. The second one is an Akro Corkscrew. The third one is a very weak Pelt Rainbo. Marble--On!!

For some reason I think that the red on blue shows up a tad larger. Marble--On!!

You are not alone here my friend. Many of us--including me, have found that collecting marbles is a good way to put the past behind us and to concentrate on the present. What a trip collecting marbles can be--busy minds and research will help to heal some of the worst thoughts or memories. The Interweb is full of surprises when it comes to collecting these cute little orbs Let’s get into it my marble collecting friend and keep the mind busy! Marble--On!!

It is not a slag Mojo. Slag’s are two colored—mostly white swirls with a transparent base color that may or may not be dominant. I am seeing blue, green and white here, so I would call it as a swirl. This one appears to be out of round a bit. I think that Jabo is a good call on this one. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

I will gratefully give you my assessment. (I love The ID section) The size tells the final story here—these are Jabo imho—Not Jabo “Contract” but Jabo production made marbles that were made in the factory and meant for distribution around the world. Collectors will call these “Jabo Classic”. Any damage to these is not acceptable today but who knows 40 years from now? These are not too attractive to the current collectors—just marbles that most of us will save for the future. (I hope that none of us tosses marbles to the trash) Nice post and nice images—just keep on Marbling on!

No CAC here imho--never forget the size Mojo---- It may be an older marble from Europe/not USA at least--nothing that I recognize. I think that the term "slag" is right one though. @Nantucketdink seems to have a nice collection from overseas--lets call him out for an evaluation here. Marble--On!!

X2-- Great images! Marble--On!!

The forth image down from the top has me wondering. These are not too familiar to me. @Ric is a MK guru—maybe he will step in with some thoughts. @Steph also knows her MK marbles--lets just ask for some input from her. What a great gift—most are “All Red’s---but some killer examples for sure. Marble—On!!

Nice trade! You may need a 100 count box to put these in--who knows? Marble--On!!

You have a Pelt Rainbo mixed in there Mojo---not a hard one to find. Marble--On!!

Killer finds! That rootbeer cork--second up from the bottom. Marble--On!!

Nice trade--Akro in Hawaii--very cool! Marble--On!!

Nice images! The bubbles with a great image, will throw some off because it shows what we do not see with the naked eye. I would not feel too bad calling this one a "Bogard" or-- a "Master Glass" made marble from the good ole USA. Nice marble--Nice images!! Marble--On!!

OK you tried your best--image wise. I think that you have a Pelt here. No names from me. 7/8" is pretty big and this one is a tad weird for sure. Lets call @cheese in for an evaluation. Marble--On!!

This may sound funny--but I think that both are "All Reds"--one is lacking the red for sure. This is my best! Marble--On!!

A stumper for sure--great marble! Lets call @cheese and @Ric in for an evaluation. I agree that it is a WVS--no CAC here imho. Marble--On!!

This appears to be a nice logo marble from Argentina. I would not doubt that it was made with “German Influence”. Nice find! Marble—On!!

I just love it Fire--nice find!! Marble--On!!

Get on the Zamboni and find some sun--lol. Marble--On!!

This one is a “Jabo—Classic” or a machine made marble from the factory meant for sales in many markets throughout the world. The size and colors of these mean a lot—yours is big and has nice colors—nice shape as well. Generally these are loaded with “Little White Hit marks” that occurred during shipment and sales. This one has great color and I do not see too much damage. Nice find! Marble—On!!

Hard to capture?--lets get some more tries here Fire. Maybe some sunlight. @Chad G. has to be called in here. Martble--On!!

The size is important here--"Standard" does little for size measurement. My standard is less than many and many have bigger “Standards”. Size always matters-in measurements’. I like this one for some reason and would like to see some more. Marble—On!!

Jabo--Contract--but I understand the question for sure. Marble--On!! Thanks Fire---nice Champion imho. Marble--On!!
