Looks like the inserts are what are new, possibly by Art, He did make a lot of inserts for Akro boxes

Yea, yea, rub it in, (LOL) I missed the first one at the show

Corrected

Really enjoyed big man singing Over The Rainbow

I am going with Akro. The glass reminds me a bit of the Leopards?

how many seams??

Looks Asian to me

Neat board in the 20-30 dollar range

And here I was always blaming the other person for not getting the point I was attempting to have them understand

Got to get up at 4 since the flight out of SFO is 7:05 in the morning. Jeeez!

Getting ready for Seattle and I decided to look over some recently sorted marbles and found these. The blue is a ground pontil. Very neat ghost cores.

Sounds Like you got just what you need where you are!!!!!

with a transparent orange base?

I am going to go with Champion, The large wide folds Seem more Champ tp me??

Great article!

Looks pretty darn similar

Hope it cooled down for you, I was in 106 (109 two 1/2 weeks ago)weather one day last week 20 miles away driving home to over 90. I am looking at the Thermometer right now at 11:05 and it is 65.7 degrees outside. Much better. And it is only 56 right now in San Fran. just a bit further west. I think Mike is even going to stay cool today. Not even 75 yet in Sacramento

Hello Alan

Poorly made marbles from Asia will also exhibit the traits that are shown in your pics

But sometimes crazy things happen, Not sure when or where but this is identical to the white base. There was a discussion once about the clear ones but I can not remember what the consensus was.

Ceramic with glazed spots? That was the Spotted Dick I believe. I can not even type that without cracking up.

I would go with one of the new run marbles

And it would also help explain why it appears to have never been used?

Really happy to see your post Bob, Out here on the Wild West Coast every trade van and truck I see has a "we are hiring" sign in at least one place on the truck. And every trade on every one of our job sites is looking for good help. And the company I work for has been trying to fill some positions for over 2 months. Of course there is the small issue that our 1500 square foot homes start at half a million,
