I thought for sure there’d be a UV Pop but that didn’t happen.  I’m not crying here at all. $1.00 at a Tucson Flea Market works for me 🔥

Nice! I live here in Tucson and I never usually find anything good locally

Here is an Akro "Milkie" gone wild. I would not call it a Turkey--maybe a Cormorant--🤢.

Marble--On!!

The bloody flicker!❤

It looks sorta Akro-ish to me, especially the colors. I'll have to get into the archives and see what I can find. Nice marble though, regardless of who made it!

Hey Ric. Here is a sister marble to the one in that picture. Any thoughts?

It's a nice Vienna Vitro - basically, an early Victory, IMO.

Great! Thanks Ric. Vitros seem to follow me home for some reason 🙂

I'll go with Vitro - cool looking marble.

In the last two photos you showed us the same seam twice, it'd be nice to see a similar shot of the other one.

🙂

I realize I basically put duplicates of both photos 🙃

Here is what you can see of the other seam.

Thoughts on this one? 

How about an ember? 🤣🤣

Thanks for the input everyone!

I would not call this one an Akro.

This one reminds me--color wise of some of the "Newer MK's". Such as the " Painted Turtles".

This one may just be a darker one imho.

It does look like"softer glass" with the little hit marks that we all associate with Jabo "Classics".

Of course, I always appreciate more opinions and hope to see some more😁.

Marble on !!

Thanks for the input! I do see the color similarities to the MK "Painted Turtles" you mentioned.

Peach colored Helmets are a little harder to find . . .

Those are nice Ric!!

I'm going to guess Jabo  for this one. Size is 5/8"

Well I've been striking out on my id guesses lately but I'm going to keep swinging and guess Peltier on this one. The color is more coral/pinkish in hand but my phone camera gives it an orangeish hue. Size is a hair over 5/8"

I appreciate the input. This is definitely an odd one. In hand I almost can't see the color ribbon until I shine some light on it. I'm my head I ruled out Jabo based on how uniform the ribbon/patch is. It travels around the circumference of the marble nearly perfectly centered but not quite meeting at the ends. But I'm learning that just about anything is possible with marbles.

Here's the biggest contrast I have Akro in ox, two blue oxbloods.

 

Nice example of color variation Chad!

It may be your camera and the way the light is hitting... the chip looks like the color is on the surface... like most oxblood 

It's definitely on the surface 

Not sure on this one. It's hard to capture in photos. The base glass is a dark red/amber the doesn't let much light pass through. 5/8"

I've seen plenty of oxblood and I know for sure that the OP marble is not oxblood. Do you have a good example on a marble? If not, PM your address and I'll send you some.

I appreciate that offer Ric. I do have a few good examples. Seeing some of the lighter examples had me reaching on this marble.

I think lighting might have a lot to do with the way that oxblood looks, either that, or it's just a poor example of oxblood.

Here is a couple more I pulled off Marble Alan's page. I figured I was reaching with this one but there is some lighter examples out there. I own some nice darker oxblood and of course they don't look my op. Wishful thinking haha.

Oxblood a very distinct and fairly consistent. That's not to say there isn't some variation, but this is not oxblood. If you've seen someone call something even close to salmon-colored oxblood they were just making stuff up, which happens quite a bit actually, especially on EBay.

You just need to get a good example of it in hand and you'll never forget it.

Here is an example of the lighter color I was speaking of Ric. I've seen other lighter color examples as well. 

I feel like I've seen examples of Akro oxblood on the lighter more salmon color like this but maybe I'm reaching here. This guy is just shy of 1". It's a cool marble whatever it is.
