Why does my nose always run when I look at these? There is some opal involved here. Nice stuff Fire! Yours may be a Ravenswood—not a snotty and not a CAC imho. @Ric knows his Ravens—I just suck at Raven ID. Marble—On!!
-
MK is the best call here but--I would love to crack it open--Not for sure--ever😁. Those are Akro colors--not the seams for sure--but? Marble--On!!

I'm guessing a Heaton player marble? SOLVED Nice Jabo Classic
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
My first thought was Heaton on this one. The "Tongue" of glass in image one convinced me. The colors are right on for sure. I just suck at WVS ID and I do not blame you one bit for your original ID. There are many Jabo classics that defy any ID. Marble--On!! -
Not a "Sunset" imho. I am reaching too fire--a "Multicolored Rainbo"--just two colors involved. Nice find! Cool Marble for sure. Marble--On!!
-
The red white and black one may be an Akro Corkscrew. I would keep them as they are--in a jar by the window. cool stuff! Marble--On!!

Well, the bag has a seam on the back--this is an older bag imho. 100 count is rare for sure. Shill bidding is still a thing out there. The seller is not a marble guy. Ifff--- I collected MK--$80 would be my limit here. Nice--"not buy". Marble--On!!
-
These tiny ones have an act by their own. I cannot disagree with @Ric but his one has Akro cutlines imho. It is a cute little "Thang"--do doubt.. Marble--On!!
-
These little round things are just that--they make you feel better--for some odd reason that I will not speculate on. (magic?) Marble—On!!

Silver Oxbloods usually do not show any UV response--I have a hard time finding one that is not beat up let alone one with UV reaction. Great marble! Marble--On!!

Nice one Ric. No spectacles are needed here. I love a good-sized marble—I might have a cousin to this one—love it. Marble—On!!

Cool Marble Fire--I would love to see it in hand😁. Marble--On!!

I love a good UV glow. I tried for years to finish a row of ten in a 100-count box of Akro "Prizenames", they were just basic yellow and--not quite white. (these are quite hard to find actually) You will be amazed at all the different glass that Akro used and included in these simple-looking marbles. UV light spoke to me then and helped to get a good row that is consistent. It took some time but this is collecting-nuff said. Backlighting and UV light are valuable tools to include in your arsenal—also a good bright pen light light and someway to see closer—I use magnified spectacles—just because. These bigger ones never act like the smaller ones and visa versa--the tiny ones have a mind of their own as well. Marble—On!!

I like it Fire--great discussion all! Marble--On for sure!!.
-
I agree--nice ones. Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!

Opal in the white--at least some of the white. I think that this one is a Pelt--lets ask @Chad G. and @Fire1981 for an opinion here. Nice marble. Marble--On!!
-
This one reminds me of one of those Alley "Pistachios" that does not glow under UV light--or does it? Marble--On!!
-
Jabo a "Classic" Marble--On!!
-
Peltier--a Rainbo. Marble--On!!
-
"Melon Balls" are one color in my experience at least. There should be some sort of "Pontil" included. This one appears to be machine made and if I had to guess on the maker it would be Master. Marble--On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

That cat is just a killer cat-love him/her. Marble On!! -
I love them as well--you keep collecting what you like--we all do--collect what we like. I have Sauerkraut in my veins. Marble—On!!

I would call this one an Akro slag--nice one! Marble--On!!
