  1. VaMarbles - stunning pair! I'd sure have a hard time letting go of BOTH. Sell one -keep one. That would be my agenda. I am the type of collector that doesn't need mountains of dupes, just one fine as possible example of each type from every maker. Sort of a mini marble museum! I have a long and seemingly infinite way to go - which makes me happy and hungry for the hunt.
  2. There is no oxblood here and this marble is not buffed/polished IMHO. Also, the seller is a highly respected member of the marble community who has written academic tutorials on how to detect buffed/polished marbles, as well as the scientific properties of oxblood glass. If it was buffed/polished he would recognize and acknowledge it I'm sure. He is meticulous with his inspection and descriptions of his marbles up for sale. This is a rare color combo for a Popeye ( how many of you have one?) - but I am surprised at the final hammer myself.
  3. No - that's Vitro Whitie. The green pearlized patch glass is completely opaque and has the luminous sheen and luster of a pearl as seen in this closeup.
  4. Not thinking Oxblood here, but am thinking CAC American Agate.
  5. Sorry....deleted my double post here. Might as well post a photo of my Akro Blood &Bones.
  6. Looks like what is known as an Akro Blood & Bones. The base on mine glows UV but maybe they all don't?
  7. The above Akro box is a real rare beauty alright, but those look like Akro TEAL slags and not AQUA. Of course there's a chance the color of the photo is off. In my experience true Akro teals are much harder to find than aqua. The Akro teals will also UV react. Check your slags and see how many Akro UV Teals you find!
  8. Appears to be a Peltier Acme Realer. That particular green color, patch shape and base glass quality are correct for Acme Realer. One of the largest I've ever seen!
  9. The link you share is showing a Vacor Diablo / Red Devil. The glass quality and pattern are the tip offs away from anything Peltier.
  10. Have it your way! I'm just saying Paul Bunyans can vary not just in color (or lack thereof - solid green examples exist for example) but also in size up to 15/16th and 1". You can find a lot of research that confirms this by reputable collectors . If you don't think the link marble variation is a match- that's fine. I'll be interested to see what the end consensus is here. I don't have any other guess.
  11. Link to a thread by Dave Yabarra (West Coast Dave) and his collection of PBs, including one that looks very much like the OP. They can vary just like any marble type. Thank you for considering. https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?t=50813
  12. Looks like a Paul Bunyan ( packaged by Ravenswood but the production is attributed to Master).
