Handgathered and Machine rounded is the right response. The sizes in these vary so much that it is only explained by a handgathering process We are talking about the Toys R Us marbles here--- the 1" (give or take). There was a special mail in offer to get two larger sizes around 2" and around 1--3/4". Vacor sizes are in "MM" (25mm for the little ones)and I am too lazy today to look them up. These larger ones look much more refined ( I only have one of each) but Vacor was the one company that could pull it off at the time. It seems to me that @stephenb ( respect!) was down in Mexico at the plant researching all sorts of marbles. He may have received some wrong info here. @Melissa has a nice collection of these--maybe she will step in with some wisdom from her collection. Here are the three sizes that I own. Marble--On!!

Sweet for sure! I do not recall seeing one like it before. They are "Classic" Akro cutlines though. Top Notch!! Marble--On!!

What Rics says X2. Welcome to The Marble Connection Kesia! Marble--On!!

I agree with what you say. The last one is probably an Akro but Master did make one quite similar. Marble--On!!

Sad stuff shiroaiko, sad stuff for sure. Get back on that torch horse and--- Marble--On!!

These images are just killer! If it is not an Alley Agate--I give up😇--not really! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more here. @cheese? Marble--On!!

I get it Alan--compare it to a "Silver Oxblood" and be convinced--or not😁. I just love this stuff! Marble--On!!

Hmmmm-I would not call the OG an Akro. I am thinking WVS here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble--nice images as well. Marble--On!!

I agree with Fire. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I agree--nice images once again! Marble--On!!

There is some Ox involved here Fire. Pretty rare for a "Popeye". This marble has been at the very least "Buffed"--image two shows it quite nicely (notice the sharp edges on the blow out). This is one of the old ones from the Akro digs that were fixed years ago imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

Love it! marble--On!!

Agreed. Marble--On!!

Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" Oddie. Show us what you have! marble--On!!

Very close and and a very good ask-- Marble On!!

I think that I may seen one too Fire--maybe just once! Never in hand--but an image some place. Keep the faith! Marble--On!!

I do not see Akro here--maybe a Vacor "twister" that went wild. I appreciate all of your opinions here and hope to see some more. Marble-On!!

OK thanks Ric. This is my last guess--a guess really again Alox--#2. Marble--On!!

You are right on. The middle row-The left hand one also. Marble--On!!

For any reason I respect all of the opinions here. Consider Vacor and get back to us all. Marble--On!!

Fun stuff Ric. If there is a Vacor it has to be #5. Marble--On!!

Fun stuff here teajajo. Show what you have and lets compare. My Images are not fixed--natural for sure. I do not use a cell phone-I use a camera for my images. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!

OK I give up on #6. #5 is a Champion. Go Tommy Go---- Marble--On!!

I still believe that it exists Shamrock. Do your research and get back to us all. Maybe @Fire1981 has seen one?? Marble--On!!

I will pick on #6 again--Jackson. I feel like a dog looking at TV--you never know what they think they are seeing. Marble--On!!
