Rare document.

Akro Limeade oxblood, mint. On its way tomorrow to Robert Blocks May online marbles auction. I have several on his auctions for March and April.

Alley pee wee's

The original Peltier pee wee size marble machine will be on display in the show room Saturday. We will run some already made pee wee marbles across the machine. So people can see how it works.

More of that vinegar, instead of honey again. Bite the hand that is feeding you.

There are enough marbles named Tiger Eyes already.

It is so messed up, so much of an error, how can you tell if it might be MK, Peltier, foreign or what ever ? Lots more companies than MK made white vane Cat Eyes.

Look foreign to the US to me. The long curved many eyelash shear marks , The thin orange over yellow. Both cut lines curve the same. All away from 7/8 inch Master traits. Masters cut lines are usually opposite or each cut different. Master cuts, with one cured inward hard and the other more pointed. like the two would fit together.

Correct

Jabo

Almost all the 3/4 inch size will be from special investor runs. The majority of the classics were 5/8 inch, some 3/4 inch and some 7/8 inch, but no comparison to the numbers of 5/8 classics. The largest numbers of 3/4 inch marbles made at Jabo were special investor runs. When Jabo company did make 3/4 marbles for their self. It was maybe once a year, if that. The 3/4 special investor runs were done three or twelve times per year. The odds are that it is from a special investor run. Exactly which one I am not positive. Could be the run named for Howard Powell ? If I spent one day a week with the Jabo investor runs. I might be able to narrow it down. But I don't spend the time with them any more. Plus I have sold 90% of the Jabo investor runs which I had. That was at least 25,000 marbles or probably 50,000 Jabos from special investor runs ? I was a investor in maybe 75 of the runs done until 2012.

Akro Sparklers should have at least four or can have five and six colors. Some European or Japan sparklers do not have has many colors. Akro Sparkler

Jabo all the way.

Maybe any purple you see is where red and blue meet and one lays over top of the other. That would be a dark looking color or look dark purple. There was no purple added to these marbles or cullet above. Glass colors do not mix or bleed to make a new different color. Glass colors are not like paint which can be mixed to make a new color. Glass colors will lay over top of each other and look different. Many machine made marbles had clear added with the other added colors to the base glass. The clear is a old trick to make the colors brighter and show up more or pop. The clear will follow along beside or near the added colors. When the added colors might lay over top of each other, it can look like another color. But if you separate or slice the marble thin enough. The added colors will still be separate. Maybe stacked at the edges or overlapping but still separate. The above red/white/blue Alleys are a white base and the only colors added were red and blue. Was a little bit of clear also added, probably. No purple was added to these Alleys above. Many times it can be very difficult to determine if a certain looking color was added when it was made. Or is it two colors near each other, laying over top of each other, that looks like a different color. This extra looking color will usually be dark looking, because it is two colors stacked. Thin clear glass beside other colors can look black. But actually is not a different added color. Not easy to explain in words. Old and modern glass workers add certain bright white colors and certain clear glass to their marbles. This is to make other colors show more and brighter. As they say "make the marble pop".

Jabo. If your marble is machine made and is a swirl or flame pattern. It is 11/16 or especially 3/4 inch with four and five colors, bright unusual colors. You have about 96% chance of Jabo. About 2% chance of Vacor and 1% chance of Alley and 1 more % chance of Jabo. This is the odds for millions or a billion marbles.

I agree Jabo

The larger ones Steph shows are Alley. They are light blue and orange not red. Plus every one of these that we found were near 7/8 size and every one had problems. The smaller one below these in the case looks Ravenswood. Most people put these dull light faded blue and faded red or red/orange with Champion because so many were included in the Champion Bicentennial bags. Champion bought them from Ravenswood after they closed. Alley red/white/blue

Common color combination messed up Akro corkscrew. The only marble I have ever know with, Signature attached to it is the, Marble King Signature Cat Eye.

I agree.

Should I list or not ??????? I have three of them.
