Here is a 1 1/8" (not including the little nub) sextuple ingot. It's Bill's marble now.

It takes some effort to see all six of the 5/8" marbles, but the volume calculation is spot on too.

I have to ask, are you absolutely sure that all 7 of these marbles came in the same mesh bag? The reason I ask is because there is some debate about who made the big Paul Bunyan's and I am pretty certain that the little ones are Akro. The PBs are usually found in mesh or poly bags labeled as such by Ravenswood Novelty, or in mesh bags labeled "Genuine Old Fashion Marbles", where there is one PB and some smaller Ravenswood marbles.

If all of your marbles were in the same mesh bag, it could suggest that the PBs were made by Akro, since I don't think Akros are found in Jobber packaging.

i've got those ric .... SOMEWHERE ..................

This is a new term/name to me Ron. 
If you have any more input I would most certainly appreciate it.

I am always willing to learn.
Thanks, and Marble--On!!
 

the nite was cold ... quiet with a little wind. feet splashing in the creek, trying, to be quiet. pushing thru wild briar bushes, silently .. squealing with the sharp thorns snapping at me, crawling on our belly's as the storm blew outside. who can forget the .. emergency .. exit we made that nite. the saying ... when the creek rises ... came true that nite ... what tall tales ron and i can tell of our once in a lifetime experience. every time i see these pics, such good memories fill me. we were bold and determined to capture all the examples of l.e. alley's brilliant mind and efforts. and that we did. tunnel vision and hard work. new discoveries and knowledge came out of our days .. and nites. our timing was rite on. a good pair we made ... a true friend and brother ... bill
