akroorka

Welcome to TheMarbleConnection waterfowlee810. (duck hunter?) The marbles that you show--some are old some are new--Asian and Mexican--a mix. Throw them in a fancy jar and ask $30--gone in an instant. None are valuable but as as display piece--pretty cool. Nice colors! Marble--On!!

I agree Fire. Marble--On!!

MasterMadeMarbles turned into Master Glass--the quality was not the same and it was forced by the USA allowing certain items after WW2 to rebuild the Japenese markets. MasterGlass actually purchased Akro and this is why we have some difficulty distiguishing some of the later boxes. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!

???? I do not know--- Marble--On!!

Agreed Ric These confetti marbles are a cool thing to hold and feel. While the marble was being made, there were different colors thrown over the little orbs as they passed down the roller. Yours are well covered. No swindle here unless you paid too much. 20 bucks or under would be a good deal. Marble—On!!

Nice marble Ric—very nice-- but I think that Fire has a different perspective here and I hope that he shares his ideas as well. I think that I know who Fires marbles came from—a very respectable source for sure. Marble—On!!

Well that is very cool stuff shiroaiko (does shiroaiko mean akroorka in Japenese?😁). The Op in this post is still a mindblower--love it! Marble--On!!

X2---Master digs are unknown to me as well. Marble--On!!

What RIc says X2. There is a good chance that this one came from the "Digs". Marbles that were not up to par would be disgarded by the company quality control and buried in a variety of ways. Way back then there were few controls on what and how an item--any item, could be disgarded. Many CAC marbles that we see today came out of a river. Marble--On!!

I have heard the term before but a more in depth explanation would be appreciated. My "New book" does not have anything on Tweeners that I could find. Marble--On!!

Welcome to TheMarbleConnection vintage stuff. Nice find for sure. Do you know @Mojo--give him a ring on a Personal Message. Marble--On!!

Actually davesnotthere, I think that the one that you show here is a MasterMade--not a MasterGlass. These big "MasterMadeMarbles' are not an easy find, even more rare are blowouts on a Master Made. I love this marble--great find! Marble--On!!

White does seem to be the standard here Fire--hard to find these big ones are (now I am talking like Yoda--I am not that old--am I) Marble--On!!

Which one crows the loudest?😁.

X2--what Ric says. Marble--On!!

This one is a "Champion Furnace" or more commonly known today as a "Tank Wash Marble". One of the og as far as tank wash marbles go. There are many Jabo out there advertised as "Tank Washed" which is the true term--but these Champions were well before their time. Love em ! This color combo is more common--yet still rare. Nice marble!!! Marble--On!!

This marble is just killer--I love the pitch fork--no idea on the maker though. Marble--On!!

I am amazed at this one Tommy—just flaber-gassed. I have never seen one like it. 99% of the black that you see in marbles/glass is either purple, brown, green, grey or blue. True black is a very hard find in any glass and I remember having some heated discussions with our old friend Ron regarding this “no black glass thing”. He convinced me that there is true black glass and had recipes to back him up—I gave up and have yet to see it in hand. This is just a great corkscrew—why would one quit collecting them? They are always showing up as one offs or very special ones. Backlight them all---- I just love this stuff. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble—On!!

Welcome back Ric--great observation. The Heatons did show this trait--a bit more rare than a Vitro but good food for thought that is much appreciated. Marble--On!!

I moved this post for better recognition from the Bill Towe post. Marble--On!!

I would call it a near mint Popeye Hybrid. Not too common--but as far as Popeye hybrids go-more common than most hybrids. This one has very nice action to it. No price from me. Nice find!

Patry was one of the Og's. So Kind and forgiving. I loved her as a person--just not a collector. She was one who would stand up to the old arguments and get it back to what we all like--marbles. This collection should be sold by the best. Block Auctions. Marble—On!! Good idea Art. I would describe one of her sides as ornery. Her Southern Heritage was amazing🔥 RAR Funny story. She High Jacked one of my first threads on LOM. Long story short Galen had to lock the thread down. I PMed her. We duked it out for a while and then ended up sending each other the new acronym for Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A$$ Off. 🔥 RAR❤️

What a great way to start a collection!! Finding out what your 93 year old Father’s marble collection was when it first started. Finding these in mint condition may be a challenge but well worth the effort. I challenge you to do your best in matching these marbles to what your Father has left behind. We all can help you here with the ID of what you have inherited for sure. There is No shame in showing beat up marbles here and I am sure that all on board here will help with any venture that you consider. This sounds like great fun and I am on board for sure. Try to start a thread involving this—if you need help—just click on my image and give me a PM (Personal Message) and I will start one for you. I just love this stuff! Marble—On!!

You did well here my marble collecting friend. Nice finds! Marble--On!!

I am with Fire here--nice marble--I love the pollution. Marble--On!!
