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

Bob Block posted this marble for sale on ebay. He’s put some honey’s up to sell.

I would have called this a Pelt.

Throw in a few Akros and you’ve got my collection (that I worked very hard to get)! Nice gift.
-
Super duper!

Gorgeous mib! I’m guessing that it is CAC. Love it.
-
I think I see a hand-gathered 9 and tail.

Maybe say his name three times while rubbing your belly.

Peltier John Deere. Nice mib.
-
I’m thinking this is a Master Comet.
