That is a really cool Ox patch Charlie. Agree on Akro. What size is it? It looks like a bigger size.

These all came together in one lot? Wow! That Blue Devil is awesome. Looks like you also have a red Double Ingot there? -
1. Red and the richest Yellow Prize Name 5/8" 2. The coolest Lime Green Prize Name (possibly a Special with a trace of dark inky Blue) 19/32" 3. Red Onyx 5/8" 4. Four Orange Spirals on a bubbly UV base 5/8" (bottom right marble is pretty beat up, but still cool imo) 5. Green on Orange Prize Name 19/32" (my favorite thing about this mib is that you can see the outline of the cork in the Orange glass) 6. Green Onyx, a larger size at 3/4" 7. Two Red and Brown on translucent base 15/16" Happy Akro Friday y'all.

Sweet box Art and some very nice-looking Ox ! In the fourth row down, the first on the left, that looks pretty unusual, is that black mixed in with the white? This one is a bit unusual, it's the only one I have, I don't think I've seen any like it in any size. 15/16"

Two Blue corkscrews on unusual bases One on an opaque base with a Pinkish tinge 5/8" and one on an opaque UV base 11/16" Happy Akro Friday !

It's Akro Friday again, share them all! Love seeing the Akros. Here are two very similar Akros, but opposite patterns, one clockwise corkscrew, one counterclockwise corkscrew.

Growing up my dad (from Missouri) said supper, and Mom (from Alaska) said dinner. I've stuck with saying dinner for 50 years I made a ramen tonight. I've never made this but I will absolutely be making this again. Don't make fun of my ingredients, I made it up š

Found the photos at least, but I'll need to find the marble to get the size. I have one very similar that came with this Master, but the Ox is nowhere near as pronounced.
-
That is a beautiful Master marble! Especially in that first photo, the colors, the translucent, almost opalescent looking glass with prominent bubbles, the angle of the seam, all perfect imo. Gorgeous. I have a Brushed Patch Master with Oxblood that I know I've taken pictures of, I'll see if I can find it if it helps. I'll post the photos here when I find them.

Which picture is best for Id
disco005 replied to davesnothere's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Hi Davesnothere, I use a darker background. If you're using your cellphone camera and have white in your background, your camera is overcompensating for the white background, making the entire photo dark. If you use a darker background, Black or Gray, the phone camera will show the colors of the marble better. -
-
I thought so too, I'm amazed at the MK id, but I love it them more now š
-
WOW! I can't help with ID, but WOW!! Awesome marble for sure. That dark Blue is really striking next to the Black and Red.
-
I am still not comfortable IDing patches. I have an idea of what these are, but then in the second photo the two at the top and top right has me second guessing. This group has both 19/32" and 5/8". What do y'all think?

Very nice Tommy, those are some good lookin' Akros for sure, I especially like that bottom right one, it looks like it has that deep red transparent glass 𤩠Here are a couple of 21/32" Prize Names
-
-
1. Cobalt and Yellow with the transparent striations between 19/32" 2. Red and Green with transparent Blue striations 21/32"
-
Two nice Brown corks 1. Brown and Tan Special 5/8" 2. Transparent Brown Snake around the outside, darker Brown pigtail through the center of a translucent bubbly base 5/8"
-
In the first photo, the green based one at the top right is the largest at 23/32" In the second photo, the Orange, Tan, and White is 21/32". The Blue is 5/8" I'm guessing these all fall in the category of West Virginia Swirls After watching the Ravenswood video that Chad posted, I'm suspecting there might be one or two Ravenswoods in here ( hopeful really ).

I grew up in Alaska, so the radio was all I had. There were no live concerts coming to Juneau, Alaska back then I always looked forward to Casey Kasem top 40 Countdown on Sundays!

So this afternoon YouTube 'suggested' the video "The First 12 Minutes of MTV" and that got me back into an 80s music kick, my music as a teenager. I started a playlist, but I spent three hours making this list and I feel like I'm not even halfway there. Here it is: Kiss Me Deadly Lita Ford Close My Eyes Forever Lita Ford and Ozzy Silent Lucidity Queensryche Twilight Zone Golden Earring Pour Some Sugar on Me Def Leppard Panama Van Halen Donāt You Forget About Me Simple Minds Boys of Summer Don Henley The Final Countdown White Snake No One Like You Scorpions One Metallica Enter Sandman Metallica Crazy for You Madonna Lucky Star Madonna Live to Tell Madonna Never Heart These Dreams Heart Two of Hearts Stacey Q West End Girls Pet Shop Boys Wild Wild West The Escape Club Fight for Your Right Beastie Boys Gangsters Paradise Coolio Heart and Soul TāPau We Built This City Starship Love Bites Def Leppard Once Bitten Twice Shy Great White Save Your Love Great White Keep Your Hands to Yourself Georgia Satellites Ship of Fools Robert Plant Addicted to Love Robert Palmer Glory of Love Peter Cetera Right Here Waiting Richard Marx Everything I Do I Do it for You Bryan Adams Summer of 69 Bryan Adams Heaven Bryan Adams Run to You Bryan Adams Red Red Wine UB40 Candle in the Wind Elton John Talk Dirty to Me Poison We Didnāt Start the Fire Billy Joel Piano Man Billy Joel Dancing with Myself Billy Idol White Wedding Billy Idol U Canāt Touch This MC Hammer Thriller Michael Jackson Careless Whisper George Michael Everybody Wants to Rule the World Tears for Fears Crazy for You Madonna St. Elmoās Fire John Parr Neutron Dance The Pointer Sisters Never Surrender Corey Hart Sunglasses at Night Corey Hart Cruel Summer Banarama Venus Banarama Raspberry Beret Prince Material Girl Madonna Born in the USA Bruce Springsteen 99 Luft Ballons Nena Puttin on the Ritz Taco Sweet Dreams Eurythmics Rock Me Amadeus Falco Land of Confusion Genesis Take on Me a-ha Troy Sinead OāConnor Footloose Kenny Loggins Girls Just Want to Have Fun Cyndi Lauper Talking in Your Sleep The Romantics Self Control Laura Branigan Somebodyās Watching Me Rockwell The Warrior Scandal (Patty Smyth) Rock Me Great White Face the Day Great White The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Gordon Lightfoot Money for Nothing Dire Straits You Dropped a Bomb on Me The Gap Band Cum on Feel the Noize Quiet Riot On the Dark Side John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band Major Tom (Coming Home) Peter Schilling The Stroke Billy Squier Everytime You Go Away Paul Young Gonna Make You Sweat C&C Music Factory The Search is Over Survivor Obsession Animotion Better Be Good to Me Tina Turner Head Over Heels Tears For Fears Voices Carry Til Tuesday Would I Lie to You Eurythmics Be Near Me ABC I Canāt Hold Back Survivor Iām on Fire Bruce Springsteen Method of Modern Love Daryl Hall & John Oates All She Wants to do is Dance Don Henley Black Velvet Alannah Myles When Iām With You Sheriff Electric Avenue Eddy Grant Into the Night Benny Mardones Beds Are Burning Midnight Oil Break My Stride Matthew Wilder Too Shy Kajagoogoo Come On Eileen Dexys Midnight Runners Fantasy Aldo Nova Under the Milky Way The Church Sheās like the Wind Patrick Swayze Harden My Heart Quarter Flash Always Atlantic Starr Donāt You Want Me The Human League Human The Human League It was definitely fun to search these songs and see some of the music videos again, but wow, blast from the past. Anybody else relate to this list? Or what was your preferred era/style/decade of music? I could probably sing 97% of the lyrics of these songs. Sorry for the length of the list! -Jess
