Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Measures 0.64” inches diameter. Lots of AV and drizzle nice marble but I can’t 100% ID it any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 The way that the cutoffs do not quite seal into the glass points me to Marble King. You can almost feel the seams with your fingernail. I have found this to be a common thing with MK marbles and the cutoff marks look right as well. More input is needed on this one. The green AV shows up in the green colors in marbles of all makers. This could be a topic on it’s own. I have a few Olive Drab/White Akro corks that have a little AV in the green and they are the rarest company to exhibit AV in their glass. Marble—On!!!

Steph Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 The colors and the base glass texture made me think Peltier. The pattern ... no idea. Wouldn't be too surprised if it did turn out to be MK. But wouldn't be surprised at Akro or Vitro either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Vitro with a Tiger Eye pattern FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 The green AV is Vitro as well. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 So we have votes for Vitro Marble King and Peltier. I was leaning Akro…..the confusion overwhelms me much like trying to order food at night and the drive thru menu light is an after thought to the 17 year olds running the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Akro Agate made what are probably the highest quality marbles ever produced. Seams and folds may appear on the marbles that they made but a quality end product was always pursued. If you find a marble such as the one that you posted with a flawless factory surface I would still not call it an Akro or a Master Marble just because of the seams. It is not a Pelt imho, it may be a Vitro, they did have deeper colors such as this. I am glad to have my 17 year olds pushing past fourty--do they ever grow up???? Confusion---On!! and Marble--On as well!!! Thanks for sharing this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 If Akro then I'm guessing one made near the end of their production time. I could see that based on structure and base glass, though I don't recognize the patch color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I am kinda leaning on Stephs first say on akro, then a possible pelt and vitro last. My opinion on this and this is why. If you go back to when akro started playing with av, (no matter what color) this av was not very compatible with their other glass color. This example shows what i call (splattering) av, not concentrated like other makers. Looking at some examples of corkscrews and maybe some royals you will find this. This happening splattering of av seems to lean towards akro, but that is for me, my opinion. Chuck G--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thank you everyone for sharing. This is great, what fun! For now it’s a mystery. I’m leaning Akro agate. Chuck Makes a great case with the information on Akro and their usage of Av. That’s a really good tidbit to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I’m always up to hear more about AV anytime. I think it MIGHT be my favorite trait. Blue Galaxy,blue AV on a white base glass PPP, the Blue Bee and of course all the black AV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 I LOVE to talk about (av) also. Over the years there has been little mention or talked about av in OLD hand mades from Europe. Members would probably like to have some past history on this. I know many things have been said but there is never enough to (keep learning) on ALL subjects of marble collecting, and (sharing) this drives us even more to collect. We want and desire for this hobby to continue and sharing information drives this forward. If you LOVE glass, marble forums is the places to learn.
