BuckEye Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hey everyone, I bought a huge vintage collection today and in with some cat eyes was this. It is just at 5/8 and has actual oxblood swirled in between a sinlge seam on a clear base. the seam is obvious, but this marble is so tough to photo. It is not the new Jabo oxblood ones either. Clear MFC brick? Akro? CA error? 1. Who made it? 2. Help! Rarity/worth Thanks, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hey Craig, About the only thing that comes to my mind is the Mylee tank wash . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I would be suspicious. I don't recall a Akro to match it,but that doesn't mean much. Is that a actual seam or more like a roll mark. Which is not unusal,especially with the tank wash marbles. Many of the tank wash marbles had the bubbles. The brown is much more common with Jabo than Akro. I don't see any black,wide spots or holes in the ox like a lot of Akro ox. Each month if not each week,some one tells me of finding a good size old collection,never been touched for years and years,but it has Jabo or Vacor. And sometimes everything else or most else is old vintage. I had a call last night of a old collection of over a gallon from a 85 year old man who worked at a marble plant years ago. It was all Jabo classics 2003 and maybe older. The person bought it as being all old vintage and was going to make some money. It seems like everyone is buying and selling marbles nowdays,but many are also getting disappointed later. Maybe someone can post a picture of a confirmed or known Akro like this,or maybe a Jabo?

BuckEye Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Agreed to all your points Ron, I am no akro expert by any means. I have seen those tank wash marbles and this looks a little different. There is a definite seam though. Many times an old time collection may have a handful of newer ones....that is usually the norm actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 It is not consistent with any of the clear/Oxblood Akros I have seen. I have seen this seam/clear/oxblood pattern in a photo before - but cannot immediately place where. Can you check to see if it flouresces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
