J_Ding Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 First two might be newer...but I'm still a larva (kinda fat, but still a larva), the last might be an Akro cork...but not getting the right views on this. The last night be contemporary too! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Agree on the first two being newer. I think the first could be Asian. The second is Jabo. Both would be modern. And agree about the last possibly being an Akro cork but also more pictures of that one would be nice to try to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are 3 more views ... after looking at it again ... the white looks more tannish white or light pinkish white ... Need more ., let me know .... ALSO .... on the other 2 ... does being modern mean they are not very collectible ... or are of little value ? THANKS ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Akro Corkscrew. 1930's. Put that one in the good pile. I'm not sure but it _might_ have a special name. It _might_ be called a "Blood and Bones". Don't take my word for that. Definitely wait until someone else confirms or contradicts. About the modern ones, mostly it means they have little value. However, Jabo classics such as yours are growing in value. So I recommend separating out the Jabo classics and putting them on ebay separately from the Asians. (Assuming ebay is the destination of any of these marbles.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I agree. I have a number of examples of this one, but based on my findings, this type is scarce-ish, depending on your luck. Nice mib! A keeper. Should have a name if it doesn't. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a couple hundred pounds to go through I have not looked at yet ... I have sold 185 pounds of Cat eyes on Craig List locally .... and I still have ALOT of sorting to do before I do anything .... the pictures are what I am sorting through right now .... but its fun and I do enjoy all the colors ... If I didn't collect fishing lures ... Marbles would be it .... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
