bumblebee Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Got a bunch of "same run" or "same box" marbles in a recent score. Most are basic blue and white patches (presumably Akro) but I picked out a few "tweeners" from that group to show the variety. Makes me realize that a lot of my favorite marbles are probably happy accidents. Finally, if the top left was made during a patch "run" but ended up opaque, is it an opaque game marble or a monochrome patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Nice example. It took me ages to figure out that half the odd vitros that I couldn't identify were just weird and wonderful Conqueror variants. There can be a huge variance from 'typical'.

bumblebee Posted December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Steph are you suggesting we're all just happy accidents who have rolled onto this Big Blue Marble from the conveyor belts of eternity? Speaking of which, I used to watch that show in the 70s around the time I had a sock full of marbles I kept losing to the bigger kids! I will never forget that theme song.

I'llhavethat1 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 A while back I had a pic of Akro patch "run" that went from a pattern of green/white/rust to green/white/oxblood to show variety. See if I can find it outside of photobucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
