david Chamberlain Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 They are, of course, amazing but at the same time I experience a paralyzing numbing effect. I know just what you say Lou. Where is that $windfall$. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Wow. I don't know whether to cheer up because there are so many boxes out there, and I at least got to see these, or to be depressed because even one is so far out of my league . . . Question: In the Akro Imperials box there's a row of the aqua / horsehair oxbloods. Love 'em and buy them when I can. Not sure I knew Akro made any -- I know Alley did, and Peltier made a few. Has anyone studied enough of this type to be able to tell who made what? Or can you point me in the right direction if there's an existing thread in the archives? Thanx, Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks, Greg, for taking the time to post all those pictures. Great items! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Heres a few more pics of the Master College Box.. This is when i first got it, had like 4 or 5 Vitro's in it i think, so i had to back fill it with some of my nice Masters, i really do wish i would have used the Master Clearies instead of letting all those nice Masters go. Heres a pic after i back filled it. And some Random pics. Still got this Bag left, i may try and sell it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Greg: Way to wake us up! Ann: I'm guessing that box is at least partially backfilled / mis-filled. By someone who thought the ox meant Akro? maybe? Or maybe those were just their very favorite marbles and they put them in their favorite marble box without worrying about maker? (lol) or something like that . . . Here's a horsehair ox thread. Horsehair Examples? Kevin: how much do you miss that box!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Steph -- I'm not confident in my non-corkscrew Akro knowledge, so your idea that the row might be backfilled or misfilled gave me a sense of relief . . . In my head, I was looking at that row and going "What?? Akro?? You're kidding. How have I missed that?? Am off to the horsehair oxblood thread straighaway!

steves mibs Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 why question the horsehair oxbloods and not the orange and white swirls that are on the left side of the box? i have questions that any of those marbles are truly original to that very box i wish it were mine but still would have concerns over the contents just 2 cents steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
