Anyone have 2 cents they can spare?

Im thinking its a vitro conqueror 

What's that little Tracer of an orangish color is that faint oxblood? Super reactor. Size is .801"

Has a sort of pinkish appearance at first glance of the marble.  I really like this one. Right around ⅝"

I believe Ric is correct also. Looks more likely to be be a cold roll 

Its definitely pretty old and it really appears to have a Mfc structure to it. But im not sure about the color. 

I thought they were bullseyes when they had the Tracer around the patch? 

Ive had this guy for a while now and last time I tried to ppstvit i wasnt aboe to really get a good of a picture as i am able to now. What do you guys think?

I really like the ghostly squiggles within the dark glass.

It you look at the edges of the yellow ribbon. I’m seeing brown tracing the ribbon. I think it’s brown base glass🔥

RAR

So like a real dark amber? You don't think maybe the yellow is causing the black to appear brown as it converges with the darker glass?  Lol idk 

My thoughts were going towards Alley or Champion. 

Got this in a lot i acquired yesterday. Around ⅝" seems like a pretty interesting cork. Took pics with 2 different background shades. 

Yes thats a nice vitro it may be a bullseye! Very cool. So its a large shooter?

And I really didn't mean to sound harsh. I have an aversion to marketing hype, in general. I know people collect all sorts of marbles. I like a lot of marbles others would consider junk and I am sure I have thrown away 1000s of marbles others might consider valuable. There is no accounting for taste, one person's killer is another person's reject. If you had titled this post "Unique Ghostly Spiral", I probably wouldn't have said a word.

I understand where your coming from and i appreciate you sharing your insight with me. I admit it was a bit of an intense title 

With that, It does really have a uniquely transparent (ghostly) spiral with a snake like structure. I felt like it was a killer marble. Just seemed like a perfect title for the post.

It's certainly possible the QC folks missed this marble but I assure you that Akro did not gain its reputation for selling marbles like this one. Any QC person who let too many of these slip by probably would have lost their job. And just to keep things in perspective, Akro closed about 15 years before this collector was born and people were likely digging there 10 years before he was in kindergarten.

What do you think the odds are that a kid walked into a Five and Dime where a bushel of brand new Akro Spirals were selling five for a nickel and they pick the "Ghost Snake Killer"? You've had plenty of great marbles and I admire your efforts to market them but try to keep it real. I am probably not the only person who finds this sort of hyper hype off-putting.

I wasnt intending to hyper off put any one I'm sorry if I turned your gears about the title It just came to me and i thought it was funny. Truly was was not a marketing tactic because I've already sold this marble and was only sharing it to get some feedback on it and spark conversation. It will not be hitting my ebay. I suppose my sense of humor was mis interpreted but thank you for your honesty and I will consider it in  the future. I also have no clue how the production process took place at the factory they were made and was not intending to come across as trying to discredit your knowledge of Akro manufacturing. I completely enjoy hearing feedback from you as I learn so much. 

I didn't know that thank you buddy! Have got for any idea on this one?  Wvs of some sort?

This one is ⅝" pretty cool. Seen somewhere someone was calling one similar to this a "Wolverine" Patch but I've never heard of that before sounds suspicious. 

Sorta looks like vitro style of marble wild

My best educated guess is Vitro. 

This one is a frogs hair over ⅝" 

Size for this one is closer to 21/32"

Im not super sure about this one. Ive been looking for my blacklight for a while now i will locate it and post a cool picture 

Yes very hot bright reactor 

¾" got this with today's mail wicked little gem. Not super sure but I think it may be Akro.
