Steph Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Two different marbles imho. I'd guess 10 years or more separation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Wow, really Steph, please elaborate i kind of want to know, the one on the bottom actually has more of a mossy base, where as the other one has more of a wispy base...

zaboo Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 hey Kevin,,, the top one is fairly common in the later boxes, where the bottom one is in the earlier boxes. the bottom type I have sold in the 10.00 range, some more, if they had oxblood and more than 3 colors. so if that helps with Steph's timeline? it's funny you would post these as I just finished working with a picture of a similar akro patch that has a peach/wine with blue and green! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 What Dani said. :-) And yes, your later observations about the base came through in your pix. I estimate the top is from the 1940's. The bottom from the 1930's. The top is a tri-color agate type. The bottom is a moss agate type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Why am i not surprised Dani and thanks to you and Steph both for giving me a bit of info, i actually saw these two and thought cool the same kind of mib, but they really are different and the base is what really separates the two IMHO they would be very close if the colors where surfacing more on the bottom mib. P.S Steph if you ever need to use my pics for any examples please feel free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ok sorry for double posting but i think this is a Akro to, so would it qualify as a Tri Color also ? it has the same kind of base like the top mib in my first post, size is also 7/8 Just trying to get a good handle on Patches, they are really where i fall behind...

wvrons Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 The last big dig at the dance studio produced good numbers of these older style ones. Down about the 10-15 ft. deep range. Mibcapper(Bill) avaitar picture was a good location or hole for many of these. Bill probably has some under his feet and in his bucket along with all the mud. I still have a few with mud attached.
