This I can appreciate Ric and respect as well. Annealing fractures is what we are used to calling these--hot marbles on cold rollers. They just cooled too fast and cracked, like a minature earthquake. The inside was hot, the outside was too --but not as hot--ooopps a crack formed. No argument here from me. I always appreciate your input. Thanks for being who you are--- Marble--On!!

Oh--by the way--a Master "brushed patch" would show the white on the surface--rarely deeper than that. It would look like you actually took a brush and slapped some color on the outside of the orb. Marble—On!!

For some reason, I appreciate a fracture or two. Consider that this one made it down the line--past inspection and into the market--obviously never played with and into the fingers of a collector who loves it. It is easy to find fractures in MK marbles--not too common in Vitro imho. I just love this kind of stuff if you consider the history of the marble itself. This poor little guy/gal finally found a home and I love it. Great marble! Marble--On!!

Me too--lets ask @Melissa for an eval here--she knows her MK marbles for sure. Marble--On!!

It is still a MK--just prettier. Nice job! Marble--On!!

Vitro--yes--the oxblood is just a thing that happened--hard to explain. Nice find. Marble--On!!

What Fire says for sure--nice marble. @Ric is checking in from time to time--he is the Vitro guy all day long. Marble--On!!

These clays--some of them--were made in Ohio and probably others places in the USA as well. @akronmarbles knows more about these than any that I can think of. Lets call him on the phone here and see if he answers. Marble--On!!

I agree with @Fire1981--nice marble! Marble--On!!

It is always exciting to find a "nine" in any marble. Great images! If you were to take a few out of a mint box of Akro game marbles and highlight them like you did here--you may be amazed. I appreciate the fact that you took your time and did this one justice. I like it and the passion that you show for collectable marbles. Thanks for the work involved and of course sharing it with us here. Marble--On!!

It does look like a Master but with these colors never rule out a Vacor "Sunset". Just sayin. Marble--On!!

Welcome to TheMarbleConnection Opae ula. That is a very fine collection that you have. Thanks for sharing it with us here. Marble--On!!

It does look close--in hand is always better with this type. Nice marble--Nice find! Marble--On!!

Nice marble--Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

Nope--this is a collectors term imho and I have never seen it used in any vintage packaging. (at least as far as I can remember) Marble--On!!

It is a nice feature--hard to see though. Marble--On!!

Your instinct seems right to me. Keep it comming! Marble--On!!

You were on the edge my marble collecting friend. Back in the older days—this type of talk made marble collecting a bad thing to experience or be involved with. It made me step back for quite a few years. I am glad to be back but the inter fighting or lack of respect must end here. I respect all opinions and learn from them as well. I know what I know and respect what I do not know with input from anyone. I just love this stuff and I learn every day. Marble—On!!

Yep--nice "rainbo"-- Marble--On!!

No name--just a nice Pelt Rainbo imho. Nice find! Marble on!!

Great stuff here Shamrock! Marble--On!!

Pelts imho---the one on the far right is special imho. Nice group--Nice images! Marble--On!!

I would put on the scopes and glue them back together, one little drop at a time weeks on end. I for one discourage anyone trying to bring back any of this type unless they are beyond saving. The nets are hard to bring back to original life---even better is to display then as found—as you show. I just love this stuff. Nice finds here for sure. Nice images--great display as well. Marble—On!!

X2--nice find! Marble--On!!

Show us the box and show us the "Cub-scout". Your mind is not made up--we can help here---for sure. No not feel shy or overwhelmed--we see this stuff all day long and rarely judge any opinion from any collector—new or old. I just love this stuff---we all do. Marble—On!!
