stephenb Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi all ! I got a lot of 230 marbles today.About 60 of them were filler pieces, but the rest were nice . I think the price was reasonable but I'm not sure if we are allowed to discuss price here. Most all the marbles are in excellent condition . Could you confirm that the first group I separated out are Akro Agate popeyes ? Would some from the next group be Akro Agate patches ? Thanks for any help, more to come...

Al Oregon Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 First group is Akro Popeyes. Patches look Akro but maybe a different maker in there on a couple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 The black might be a Peltier. Maybe an Acme Realer. What does the black one look like backlit? And does the black have any aventurine? (Fine to discuss price.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 OK thanks for the ID help ! I don't have a black-light but yes the black and white marble is a little different from the others , the white color on it is slightly different ,and there's more wear to that marble. I don't have a black-light so I will have to pick one up... thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 for the black and white patch : there's no Aventine to it . I bought the whole lot for $50.00 , maybe a little steep, but I had to have those Popeyes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Oh yeah, I'd give that if I found a lot like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 What do you see when you put a strong light behind the black one? How dense is the base? Does it have any fire inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 It seems very dense , nothing whispy about this marble . the most noticeable fieldmark on it is : the edge where the black meets the white is extremely defined , real sharp border between the colors . Also , one pole has a pretty distinct "V" the other pole has a v as well but a little more like a "U" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 It's also not in the same condition as the rest of the lot , It's got a few more miles on it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I'll stick with Peltier patch of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
