This is not an Akro imho. I wish that I were more versed in Kokomo ID. This one appears to be a Peltier Rainbo--a bit messy but??? I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice find! Marble--On!!

I made this yesterday--one of my go too's. "Top Notch" with a few porkchops on the sideš. Scalloped Potatoes with Fennel o 6 garlic cloves, peeled, smashed o 4 2-inch-long fresh rosemary sprigs o 2 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream o 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt o 3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper o 2 large fresh fennel bulbs with fronds o 3 1/2 pounds medium russet potatoes o 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350Ā°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Place garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs in bottom of prepared baking dish. Combine cream, coarse salt, and white pepper in large bowl. Cut off any stalks and fronds from fennel bulbs; discard stalks. Finely chop fennel fronds; cover and chill. Using V-slicer or mandoline, thinly slice fennel bulbs. Layer half of fennel slices evenly atop garlic and rosemary in baking dish. Peel potatoes and place immediately in large bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration. Working with 1 potato at a time, use a V-slicer or mandoline to thinly slice into rounds. Immediately add potatoes to bowl with cream mixture, turning to coat potatoes. Arrange half of potato slices evenly over fennel slices in baking dish, reserving cream mixture in bowl. Repeat layering with remaining fennel slices, then remaining potato slices. Pour cream mixture in bowl over fennel-potato mixture in baking dish. Dot with butter cubes. Cover baking dish with foil, doming foil slightly (do not allow foil to touch potatoes). Bake scalloped potatoes until almost tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425Ā°F. Remove foil and bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and top is deep golden brown, about 20 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds and serve.

MABLE SALE: HOW TO SELL 6,000+ RARE ART GLASS MARBLES
akroorka replied to carolk's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Letās start here, my friend. Marble Id is not an easy thing, but we have to start somewhere. I am willing to look. MarbleāOn!! -
Yes--nice colors--not too common imho. The thing is with Master Made MarblesāVery few blow outs are found--Generally Master Made marbles are some of the smoothest and well finished, roundest marbles ever made in glass. The colors here do not line up with what I would expect from a Master Made Marble. Asian in mhoānice one though! MarbleāOn!!

Well--this one is a game marble. I love the passion here for an ID. Great images!! It is not an Akroāmaybe a Vitro gamer. MarbleāOn!!

Nice images for sure---- It is a wvs no doubt. Blue green and white--a swirl--not a slag (slags are one base color plus white)--probably an Alley Agate imho. I have not called in @cheese for a while--lets get his taste on this one. Marble--On!!
-
I like it--it is a wvs--- hard to ID becuase orange was always used to sell marbles. Marble-On!1

Your fourth image shows an Akro "Popeyeā probably a hybrid and a nice one. Upper image lower right. If this one is mint it is worth some dollars. Even near mint this one is worth more than the rest of what you show. MarbleāOn! Show some great images of this one from all sides. Marble--On!!

At first I thought Akro. Any thought on this one? Maybe transitional
akroorka replied to DRCtrent's topic in Marble I.D.'s
It is not an Akro--maybe @YasudaCollector can give us a hint here. Nice marble! Marble--On!! -
This one is an "All Red" made by Vitro. Yes, I know--no red--- a common thing in my experience. Marble--On!!

MABLE SALE: HOW TO SELL 6,000+ RARE ART GLASS MARBLES
akroorka replied to carolk's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
We can help here--welcome to TheMarbleconnection carolk. You will have to post three or four at a time with multiple images of each. Look for any scratches that look like signatures made from an inscriber machineāstart there. MarbleāOn!! -
That one with the purple( they are both nice). This was not an instant ID I am sure--a nice find and a good job @ID Marble--On!!
-
MK no doubt--. That āWaffle finishā is quite interesting. Maybe not from a dig but from a fire. It is out of the round no doubt. Older home furnace repair folks found these in the fire box all the time. The marbles would roll down the cold air return and right back into the flamesāif you kept the cold air return clean and free of dustā (yesāit used to be my job). Cool marble for sure. I just love this stuff! MarbleāOn!!

Consider a Vacor "Blue Tang" here. There are many different runs of this marble. @Melissa knows her Vacor as well as @Mojo Lets ask for some different opinions here. Marble--On!!
-
I have seen these in hand and they have always befuddled me. I think that it it is a WVS. @Nantucketdink may have an opinion here. Marble--On!
-
You sure have the eye Melissa--great find !!! Marble--On!!

Well, if a typical Akronaut can stand up, bend over and touch their toes with their nose @70āI am typical. Yoga my friendāš. Try it and never go back to a hard painfull life. Marble--On!!
-
This one was dug out of the discards of one or another company. If I had to ID it with the images givenāMK sounds right to me. Lets ask @Melissa for an opinion here. MarbleāOn!!
