"A" is a Pelt. "B" I would sort as a Master Made Marble with a slight lean towards Akro. The last one can be anything imho--probably some sort of WVS. Marble--On!!
-
The one that is greenish and yellow--close to your thumb. I could only wish to have one--killer marble and colors for sure! Marble--On!!
-
Rock on Steph! Marble--On!!

Has anyone seen such a thing before? https://www.ebay.com/itm/305498329965?itmmeta=01J2780WQQD76V9XYER5JX22QN&hash=item47211e936d:g:CpIAAOSwo4hmEpNz Marble--On!!

Once again--I missed it too. These plastic marble games were alway a wish of mine as a kid. I just love this stuff! Marble--On!!
-
I missed this one too Steph--go figure. I always check "activity" before I sign out and I still missed it. Cool stuff Digswithstick! Marble--On!!
-
Well ScottH you just aged yourself--Keen? That one did not last long but it is old. Champion made some of the "keenest" "mettalics" made, nice bright almost chrome. I used to say "keen" too but "cool" took over. Marble--On!!
-
Folds, seams and as mades--(excluding blow holes) are not too common with CAC in my humble experience. Nice group! Marble--On!!
-
Yes--good find. This is a Master Glass vs a Master Made marble. Marble--On!! Yes deviations are quite common in Rainbos. Marble--On!!

Rock on Steph! Trippy? I just love this stuff! Marble--On!!

Champion made many keepers---to suggest a scrap would not be in my vocabulary. This is just a very nice looking marble imho. Marble—On!!
-
Nice ID Nice ID for sure--thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!
-
We all learn in this format--Thanks all! Marble--On!!
-
Chad nailed the first one—A. B is a Vitro, C appears to be a Master Glass type of patch. Marble—On!!
-
This one is a CAC imho. Of course, I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. This one is as found with no polishing evident imho. The thing is--given the history, a lot of these killer CAC were found in a river (buckets full) and many were in mint condition as found. If you have 100 of these--post some more and I am glad to see what you have and give an estimation of the maker. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Lets get a response from @cheese , @Fire1981and @Chad G. for this one. I respect the opinions of these folks and will lay down by my dish if I am wrong--enough said. Marble--On!!
-
@Melissa and @Steph along with @Ric know these newer Vitro pretty well. @Nantucketdink is my go to for Jabo, he is the tops imho. I will stand by and watch for any response. I will live and learn--thanks all! Marble--On!!

This is just one view--mind you. Size matters--always. It could be an Akro corkscrew from that point of view--not impossible for sure in my experience. Post all angles and wait for some more opinions, I am not here always--but I am here a bunch of times. There are a few in the image worth a bit more money and a bit more rare imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
X2 Jabo--nice one! No little white hits and a nice finish--a keeper for sure. The size resrictions on these bigger Jabo made for the general public varied quite a bit. Marble--On!!
-
These are "drool worthy" Nice finds! Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Steph--if you backlight enough "Solids" or "Clearies" you will find a variety of things involved. I always have said--"Backlight them all" and I still mean it. I was lucky enough to get a bunch of dug Akro "Flinties" after this post started and I will say that most of yours line up quite nicely. I have always thought that the "Akro Crows", which were all dug, were simply rejected "Flinties". I am closer to saying that this is truth now. Marble--On!!
-
We all do--keep on coming back and show us some more images! Marble--On!!
-
I am with Steph here--with a lean towards Champion. Quality control is only as good as the persons in charge of it--maybe a "Friday Marble"🙃. Marble--On!!
-
Fair to call this a Peltier Bumble Bee (peewee)?
akroorka replied to rockgardenplants's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Back to the subject line--I do not know if I could ID this one "In Hand". Fair is fair--set it aside imho. Marble--On!!
