sclsu Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I can tell marble king pretty well, but I have a bunch of patch marbles that could be peltier, akro, vitro or some other company that I just can't quite be sure about. I certainly don't want to post each one here, so I figured I would see what some best practices you guys (and gals) had for these types of marbles.

Steph Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Not a fan of softballs, eh? The only blanket answer I can give is "experience". Given any two marbles from different makers I might be able to usefully describe their differences in a way which could translate to other IDs. But no set of rules from scratch. And nothing near comprehensive. So many exceptions to any rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I know very little about patches. At my very rudimentary level, the basic (and kinda only) generalization I go by is that Akro patches usually seem to have curving ends that give their marbles the weird appearance of smiling. Or frowning, whichever way you look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've been collecting for 15 years or so now and still have a problem ID'ing many patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 That actually makes me feel better, Al, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 25 years and many patches go in the same drawer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
