From what I researched, they are called "Golden Onyx Oxbloods" Some think they are old/early Eggyolk Oxbloods, while others have no idea. One person says they are a known Akro run called, Golden Onyx Oxblood". I think these and 3 other marbles are from the same original box that may have been labeled "Variety Onyx Oxbloods" being that the other 3 are also Onyx Oxbloods of different types. One needs a time machine. The eggyolk Onyx and two others were bought from an estate hunter who probably bought them all at once. The other two will be here next week but I have pictures of them. I think all five came from the same estate sale and out of the same original box.

Have you seen any of those marbles before?

An Akro identifier said that the "Golden Onyx Oxblood" is a known Akro run. Another dealer, Old Rare Marbles CEO said the name of this marble sounds right even though he's never seen one. I believe all 3 Marbles came from the same box and they might have 2 more friends coming soon.

From Google: Yellow or Canary uranium glass, often called "Vaseline glass," is primarily colored by uranium oxide, while green uranium glass may contain additional elements like iron to achieve a green color. "Yellow uranium glass, often called Vaseline glass, is generally considered a brighter glow under UV light and is highly sought after by collectors." Robert Block says that they are hard to find. He's the only one that has any knowledge that they exist and he runs international auctions. Whatever it is, it's coming next week. All .66 of it and mint.

So what kind of glass does that lemonade marble contain to make it shimmer like that? How early could it have been made knowing the akro company started around 1915?

I've seen very old pictures of this type of marble a long time ago. When could have this marble been produced? Before 1920? The infancy stage of the company.

You should see what else I have. Ever heard of a "Golden Onyx Oxblood"?

Because I'm smart and can you prove me wrong?

This marble looks different before the UV glow. The glass shines bright yellow with regular light and the blood flows all around making the marble stand out.

Should be a fascinating marble when I receive it. I'll have to post pictures.

The glass. The early one has a purer form of the uranium Vaseline glass without impurities which makes it look bright yellow while having a brighter "UV" green glow and it's one of the first.
-
No, I don't have the marble yet. But I think I know what's going on here. This is a very early lemonade that used a purer form of uranium glass when the company started. Incredible.

Found this: Light Yellow or Canary uranium glass, often called "Vaseline glass," is primarily colored by uranium oxide, while green uranium glass may contain additional elements like iron to achieve a green color. "Yellow uranium glass, often called Vaseline glass, is generally considered a brighter glow under UV light and is highly sought after by collectors." The marble looks like it's glowing in normal light on the picture except for the UV example. A marble dealer said they are harder to find and other dealers never heard of them. .66 is the size. I think I might of seen a very very old picture of 3 of them a long time ago.

Hello. I have a question? What is it that I have here? I know it's a lemonade oxblood, but in this one, the glass is a bright yellow canary. Is this a very, very early lemonade oxblood? One that doesn't have iron mixed with the uranium glass? Thanks.
