  1. I would LOVE to go. Unfortunately, I keep receiving bills in the mail dang it. I wish they would stop Someday I'll retire, can't wait.
  2. I don't think there is an actual yellow in this marble, it looks to me like its a deep orange or red, but thin over the opaque white, which is making it appear yellow if that makes sense. I looked and looked at several different ketchup and mustards, and as much as I want it to be one, I don't think it is. I'm having a hard time distinguishing ribbons, but only because I'm not too familiar with Pelt construction. A bloodie? I'll start looking those up And do you have a name for it MC Marbles?
  3. I'm sorry, I should have included that in the original photos and the size : 7/8"
  4. Oh! wow, that is not what I was looking for lol, I guess I figured it was more of a thin smeared ink. That is really cool, and literally looks like ink. Thanks migbar
  5. I was looking around trying to find another Pelt similar to the one above, no luck ann, is this close to what you described above?
  6. I have reservations for what looks like an opaque white running alongside the light blue. Lollol! about the cornflower It's pretty darn close. These pics are the best I could do to capture the wispy white. I've not seen another of these, just a strange marble that I'm trying to place.
  7. This is a strange one, it looks like technically it qualifies as a Popeye, two colors and wispy white, but I don't know, what do you guys think?
  8. Wow! That is beautiful, so much aventurine.
  9. Deep blue and black , I like this combo I haven't seen very many like it
  10. Hey! Nice variety on those Akro shooters! My first favorite I collected is at the 5 o'clock position, the cobalt with whispy white on the translucent base. Love those.
  11. Whoop! I hadn't even considered the spelling of it. It sounds like an Inkie is a blue or black striping on a white base? So is Alley then the only maker that called one of their marbles an Inkie, and the others are collector-named? Yes, I would love to see pics.
  12. So, is "Inky" an actual title of a marble, or is it just a description, an adjective? and does it only apply to the dark bluish color, like india ink? Or only to a certain brand of marble? Is this considered an Inky? I've looked around a little, but haven't found anything really on Inky.
  13. Browns, Reds and a white cork with a greenish underbelly, which is a little hard to capture in a photo. On an amber bubbly base.
  14. Hmm, I'm not certain that's a limeade, I've always pictured limeades with the yellowish lemonade looking base with green and wispy white running through it? It looks like your's fits Alan's definition though: "Ade" corkscrews are identified by their base glass of translucent off-white mixed with wispy opaque white. I could be wrong there, hopefully someone who is more knowledgable with names/definitions will chime in here.
  15. My dad won these in a carnival 50 years ago = I just made this yesterday
  16. Very curious. Seems like a lot of extra work and a lot of trouble. They are beautiful, but it's seems so wrong.
  17. Ausman, that thin red is a difficult one to find I think, very nice! sclsu, that one incher sure looks to me like an Akro, both ends of the cork the blue and while also definitely looks like an Akro as well.
  18. Hi Nantucketdink - glad you are here I collect Akro, but have only collected for about ten years, always learning, always wanting more. I also enjoy just sharing what I have, and what I find. I consider you a serious Jabo guy, and thank you for that, I know very little about them so far. -Jess
  19. Those are gorgeous Winnie, especially that eggyolk shooter and the two color patch! And the green and white patch, okay! all of them Bumblebee, I would LOVE to see that opalescent and orange corkscrew, I only have one opalescent corkscrew, it's yellow.
