    Well then - the "Akro employee's family" must be torching marbles.

    1. Torched 2. Torched again 2. Torched some more

    That piece isn't the only torched marble being sold by that seller.

    It looks absolutely torched to me. Especially in the 4th pic.

    These were single "ingot" marbles. All of the ones I know of were dug by Roger Hardy - who sold a number of these over the years at the New Philly show. They are conservatively believed to be true experimentals from Akro... and have the classic signs of such. The orange peel surface texture is likely chill marks from cool rollers and the huge size is what Akro did with some designs that we refer to as "experimentals".

    They look contemporary from here.

    Opinion: Its torched Moretti glass. Contemporary.

    I agree.

    As I understand it - this has happened before.

    Ever notice how garbage marbles are identified as "Onionskin Lutzes" - but never the other way around? I wonder why that is?

    They were $50 NIB when they first came out.

    Re: eggs.....Did you shoot this through a window?

    "chip noted in Photo #4 as well as some scattered fleabites" I think the seller is describing a different marble - because that description sure doesn't fit the pictured piece.
  23. Alan
    It seems proof that you can put almost anything on the Bay - and some people will eagerly bid on it.

    Link?

    How can it be "mint condition 9.5 9.6" and have pinpricks on the surface?
