Steph Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 They're a little odd. I kinda wanted to suggest something else. But, nah, Akro sounds right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wanted to suggest something else too, but they don't look far enough off from akro to make an argument for something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvwbug Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks you two,agreed something is strange with them..can't figure out what though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wondered if they could be Masters but I don't know how we could tell. We could start a thread asking about the range of Master's seams or Master's translucent bases or Master's UV reaction ... but unless we have folks looking at original packaging that might not be very informative. Most of what we think about Akro versus Master has been passed down like an oral tradition among collectors. Our IDs are made based on that tradition and the ID's reinforce themselves. Long seam for Akro. Short seam for Master. UV-reaction for Akros. Not UV-reaction for Master. So if I start a thread for Akro patches and a thread for Master patches, people might sort them by stereotypes, and I'm betting a lot of marbles would end up in the wrong thread, with errors going both ways. It could turn out that if we had a bunch of Master's boxes we could find a lot of marbles with traits that we have been identifying as Akro. And there are surely some Akros I've been calling Master.

greenvwbug Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Steph..I am sure I have masters in with my Akros might be a good thread it's the base glass that's throwing me,looked over at Joe's marble page,what my eye was attracted to was the ades marbles..maybe this is an ades patch..if they even made ades in patches?

Steph Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yes, they did have ade patches. The Ades were Moss Agates. And I'm pretty sure some of the Ades patches had at least a little extra white to go along with the main color. (I'm seeing some extra white on yours, yes?)
