Beautiful group of marbles!
-
I added this marble to my collection recently and I've not seen anything like this anywhere. Can you please confirm that it is an Akro corkscrew? Is it rare? It breaks my heart that it has the chips.
-
Thanks for the help everyone!
-
To me, A and B are Pelt Rainbos. C looks like Alley swirls.
-
What do you all think this is? It measures 11/16". Thanks!
-
Need more opinions (I'm newesh) but it looks like a Marble King to me.
-
I need your help identifying this green clear base marble with white and bronze metallic swirls. I g ot it in a box of Peltier NLR's. It measures .68".
-
Blood and bones?
-
I bought a nice case of Pelt NLR’s Saturday at the Springfield, Mo Marble show and this mib was in there. I can’t make out what it is. It has three blotches of metallic as shown in the first and last pictures. I need you’alls help. It measures .63”. Thank you!

Looks vitro to this rookie.

Me and my RC! 🤣

I see what you mean and appreciate your discerning eye. I followed Akrokra’s advise and learned from the Study Hall that Masters have U-shaped or V-shaped seams. This mib appears to have straight seams. There is so much variation in the colors and amount of colored glass in sparklers. Frustrating.
-
I used my i-pad and shot them in sunlight. I do need to get steadier, thanks. So is it your opinion that this is a CAC? Or is it a MFC?

I bought this cache of marbles at an estate sale for $150. Check out what I found in there!

There is clear glass between the blue and green streams and I don’t see any AV. What confused me most was the lack of yellow glass. I was also led to believe that Masters don’t have this many colors. I’m learning but this Akro sparkler identification is kicking my butt.
-
This mib is a beauty. It looks hand gathered with the 9 shape and I see only one seam. It is so wet that it looks like it was made yesterday!
-
Great case!
-
I really have no idea. Thanks!
-
The photos are not great but I’m learning! Thanks.

I believe the Painted Pigs are from Gregg Pessman. He was a hog farmer who made marbles in his spare time.
-
Correct, they are Akro corkscrews but not oxblood.
-
I got started collecting marbles just like this with a jar at a flea market. I asked the guy at the checkout for a blacklight and shined it on the jar. I was hooked when several of them lit up.
-
You did good! I got the large Cloud marble.(And he did take an offer)

I don’t know about David Ybarra but Blocks Marble Auction sent me this email which linked to the ebay seller Marble Collectors Corner
