The Nickel Guy

Still need a few. That first group is driving me nuts. Could this be an early "Police Officer" maybe?

Group 4 might just be "Orca" It is odd that I don't have any 50% white 50% black ones which take up more than half the marbles you might find in a net bag. However, I am finding some that look very much like my marbles amidst some older orca. Funny how I ended up with almost all the kind that strongly resemble a Black Panther in design. See . . . I am settling on Orca

I appreciate that. Thank you very much for trying. I have looked long myself. That's why I ask. That one that could hide amidst my polar bears does not look right when they are together. Those will be tempted to say that's what it is but I don't think so. It looks even more out of place with the jelly fish. I was wondering if Vacor was sometimes like other companies and just put out no name marbles sometimes. Such as . . . the white patches on the transparent bases I show. Maybe Vacor has some "filler" marbles for those Hobby Lobby bags?

I kinda agree Al, the only others I can find with that orange are Supernova and Seahorse and they are out.

Pelt The Magic Dragon It looks juicy like watermelon too.

I agree! My first impression was Jabo.

Group one 5/8 Purple tinted Gray base with White and sky blue swirls. Not iridescent. Group 2 5/8th Transparent base with single white patch, somewhat shiny with light iridescence. Group 3 We are not Bengal Tigers at 5/8th but have that same orange base. The top right might be a bit distorted tiger but red, green and blue is not found on Bengal Tigers. GOING WITH CLOWNFISH HERE Group 4 5/8th Black opaque base with a white brushed patch on one side and a purple/tan/white blended brush opposite side. Going with "Orca" here. Group 5 Mixed bunch Top row of three purple tinted gray opaque base. Left is 5/8 two right are 9/16th if that. They have the same colors in use but I am not convinced they are the same mibs. The two on the right look almost identical. I just can't find any this color combo. This one I am pretty sure is a "Streamer" Bottom three, left white swirl is a little larger than 5/8th. Not iridescent. But it came out of a asst bag of Mega Fun marbles. I am going with "Rainbow" on this one. Has a patch on either side. In with a yellow one now that had me stumped. Center is 5/8 and very iridescent but I find it is not a Jelly fish in color. It might be a weak Polar Bear lacking black highlights in the swirl. Right is 5/8, Colors look very familiar, but this one lacks a typical pattern to identify. The backside has a rather large area of thin purple.

I think I posted these before but in a group. I have about 20 or so, some other stuff could qualify as paperweights too. No Baccarat or Clichy but still very neat to display. They don't mingle with the marbles.

Beautiful collection Mojo. Thanks for posting.

Real Bees? Yikes

Wow wow and wow here. Akro is what got me hooked.

Welcome to this forum. I see numerous Mega Marbles from Mexico in there. The confetti covered frit on black and a clear one with frit. All those yellow based ones with the wavy stripes. Orange transparent with white stripes and the blue and yellow ones. Common cats eyes and common clearies.

Thank you. I don't know if I'll remember to post tomorrow for Akro Friday so I get in here a few hours early. I took these pictures after making that Blue Green gif. I have other Akros but I'm only showing my corkscrews and snakes here. There's about 5 lazy corks and a mutant boulder and another cool one that looks like a leaf appears on the beginning or end, but they both turn from pole to pole. These are now resting in the glass covered tray as seen in pic 1. I think they look better scattered rather than sorted by like kind,

I made this animated gif tonight of the only one I have. It is quite different than yours. It is green on blue though.

Last pic, bottom right green looks like a peltier to me.

MCS is a multi colored swirl I am guessing. I have pretty many swirls but nothing like that. Very nice.

No it's a cat, just a top pole view of how wavy the veins are.

Thanks for that info. Since that picture was taken, I have found a few more nice ones. I am due to take a new group picture. I'll try to get better pictures of my blue/green one.

Looks like caramel.

I watched again and found another video where he went to the same place and found a "Cookies and Cream" which had colors like the three above. Just thought I'd update. Thanks . The small one probably is a Jabo. I will get more exact sizes later. ( edit: I did and corrected post 1 ) I'm off to the pool.

As a kid, I would have been thrilled to get one of these 60 plus years ago. Today, even though they have no real monetary value they still bring back my earliest marble memories. and . . . I still like them. 3/4 to 1 inchers. I think a couple are better than others here but here they are. I have a hundred or two common small ones too.

I was watching Rocks Cousteau. I am a fan of his dump digging videos. He was specifically working a Marble King dump site and getting awesome cullet glass, lots of Rainbows and Cats Eyes and then he pulled a marble that he said was an "error" and maybe had a double ingot but it looked to have this color glass and looked similar in design. EDITED SIZES: So I remembered I had these three, pulled them and took a picture series. One is a little larger than 3/4. Another is probably just shy of 3/4 and the smallest is 5/8. I could measure them but maybe that is close enough for purposes here for now. These three marbles could be from three different companies for all I know, but they look very similar to me. Rocks was not getting any other marbles, only MK in this watery spot. I tried to find that video again but he has so many, it is kind of lost for now. Here's my best pictures. Thank you!

I like that, someday I hope to find one. I don't know whether it is a copperhead or not but from what I recall, maybe? Someone will validate. Neat!

So, I got all my little Lego wannabee pc's and assembled this twice. The first looked really neat but did not do well with marbles on it for pictures. These are just my least wanted mibs I had in a box and used them. So I took it all apart and put a lot of the black on the inside and kept the top all gray. I remembered that most of my best images come from a gray background. These were just a few marbles I had laying around loose.
