This one would have been a good contender in the "Oxblood August" post. When holding these mineral spheres/marbles you can just feel the coldness in hand. (Spheres are any round thing over 2 inches) Glass warms up quickly--mineral spheres do not. Just an observation on my part. Marble—On!!

Alan may be a purist--more power to him. This one is not too shabby for a first find. To find these mint is a pocketbooks worst nightmare. Marble--On!!

You like it so I like it. It is a pretty common swirl that was made by a multitude of makers. A wvs no doubt. Marble--On!!

This one is a Pelt imho. Baby? Nope! These Pelts come a lot smaller than this. They had a Peewee machine after all that is still in use as far as I know--from another maker. Marble--On!!

This one has been busy (played with) imho. It is a weird color combo--love it--but that is why we all love Akro Corkscrews--you never know do you? Marble--On!!

This one is a Jabo---Classic--notice the little white hit marks. I know, this one is a but dusty but the hitmarks show through. Marble--On!!

Alox--consider it. Nice marble!! Marble On!!

I would call this one a purple Akro Slag. The coverage with Akro slags varies quite a bit. I appreciate all comments and advice. Marble--On!!

This one is a hand-gathered marble, an older one. The colors are not deep enough for me to call it USA made. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. @YasudaCollector may have an opinion here as well as @Ric. @Mojo knows these very well. Marble--On!!

This is a WVS imho. Notice the white in some of the folds--check it out. If you can lightly brush it out--it is just material from a dig--if not--maybe something special. Marble--On!!

I would call this one a white on black "Prize name". True black is a hard thing to find in the world of glass. There are a few recipes out there but most of the black that you will see in any glass is either purple, brown, green or blue--I may have forgotton a color here. I finished doing a partial backfill on a "Prize name" box a few years back. It took up a lot of time but it was all too fun and enjoyable to call work. The white on black was the hardest to find for me and I only needed a few. Nice find. Marble--On!!

x2-- Marble--On!!

Here is an Akro childs plate. Ox and lemonade. This post was designed to show all oxblood (even stones) and I cannot wait to see your versions of it. Oxblood on !!

Pretty cool! Marble--On!!

Jabo x2. Marble--On!!

Yep--Pretty cool one. Marble--On!!

A slag imho. Probably an Akro. Marble--On!!

This one is a swirl--I do not know the maker. Nice find! Marble--On!!

This one may be an Akro---"Tri colored Patch". I appreciate all opinions here. Marble--On!!

Akro--a slag. Marble--On!!

Not too bad for a 5/8" marble. Marble--On!

X2--keep us informed. Marble--On!!

This is a cool old hand-gathered marble IMHO. I cannot name it though. Marble—On!!

Contemporary imho. Look for any signs of a signature. Marble—On!

Yep--pretty cool for a Patch. If Master used any cullet with a glow to it--Master. Marble--On!!
