What Rics says for sure--these are a tuf ID--the blue line is the thing here. New to me at least. Marble--On!!
-
X2--rarer to find with colored base glass. Marble--On!!
-
The first one is a swirl of some sort from WV. The second one may be a Vitro--I like it. @Ric and @Melissa know thier Vitro, lets defer to them here. Marble--On!!
-
I agree--nice one. This is the one Akro that shows up @9/16" more often than not. The 3/4" is also a hard find. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
Nice trade Mojo! It is hard for me to pick out a favorite out of this bunch but the 12th image down image--Caramel with OX and AV--just killer in my world. Marble--On!!
-
š Well Ric, there is a book that I never heard of before--a new day some new info. I just love this stuff! Your marble sends shivers up my spine--I will bet that it feels cold to the touch. Very coolš. Marble--On!!
-
I would call th first one a "Popeye". The Carnelian is just a great example--love these. The third one I have not seen before-- it is a corkscrew--love it! Marble--On!!
-
Me either--nice Marble!! Pretty wet looking to me-"Bitchen" if you know what I mean
-
Disco005 this is the best example that have seen of a Champion of this type. Just a very fine example-rare and cool. Marble-On!!
-
Thanks for that statement. Marble--On!!
-
RAR are Fires initials name wise. He was a deep woods fire fighter and curently drives a Zamboni ( what a change)--he also loves chickens. Fire rocks! Marble--On!! -
Elvis had everything that he ever wanted--except for mom. It would not surpise me to find out that Elvis collected marbles. What a trip that would be-- Marble--On!!
-
X3-- Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
This one is a tad weird for sure. Lets ask @Mojo for an opinion here. Nice marble regardless of the ID. I think that this one is a Vacor as well--no names from me. Marble--On!!
-
I see where Tommy is coming from--the Pastel green which is a Vitro color. This throws me off too. I want to call it an Akro but I think Tommy is right on with his assessment. Killer no doubtānice marble! Thanks for sharing it. MarbleāOn!!
-
Not a Crow my marble collecting friend--a cousin for sure (maybe a Grackle not a name just a joke here). The right hand one is just top notch---love it--great marble! Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!

One of my best friends son came over to visit
akroorka replied to Mojo's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I still have the hair Ric--if I let it grow. It just does not look the same with a White Beard. Nice share Mojo!! Little kids --On!! -
Every day my friend---I wish!! Marble--On!!
-
Fire is on the right track here. Your images are a bit dark for a final eval. I would consider that the English made Whisplers were more available in Canada than in the USA (if the Queen desired it). Did you know that the Queen collected marbles? Just kidding hereš. Marble--On!!
-
Acually--the bottom one in the first image deserves a better look--this one does not fit with the rest. All four sides please (Does a marble have four sides?š). Nice buy regardless. I would pay up for these for sure--cheaper than a bag of chips! Marble--On!!
-
Welcome to TheMarbleConnection waterfowlee810. (duck hunter?) The marbles that you show--some are old some are new--Asian and Mexican--a mix. Throw them in a fancy jar and ask $30--gone in an instant. None are valuable but as as display piece--pretty cool. Nice colors! Marble--On!!
-
I agree Fire. Marble--On!!
-
MasterMadeMarbles turned into Master Glass--the quality was not the same and it was forced by the USA allowing certain items after WW2 to rebuild the Japenese markets. MasterGlass actually purchased Akro and this is why we have some difficulty distiguishing some of the later boxes. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
-
???? I do not know--- Marble--On!!

Agreed Ric These confetti marbles are a cool thing to hold and feel. While the marble was being made, there were different colors thrown over the little orbs as they passed down the roller. Yours are well covered. No swindle here unless you paid too much. 20 bucks or under would be a good deal. MarbleāOn!!
