Dave 13 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 hi just wondering if these are Akro or another maker 1st two are 21/32 last one is 37/64 thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hello Dave. I will take a poke at the first one that you have posted. The rest of them need further opinions. It sure looks like it wants to be an Akro Corkscrew. The thin red line is very interesting. Is it Oxblood? The marble color combination seems familiar---without the thin red line. I have seen a bunch of Akro Corkscrews and the color combinations are almost endless. I doubt that I will ever see them all. I would not base any futher possible Identifications of corkscrews on this one---it is an odd one. As the glob of glass was "dropped" by gravity in any marble making facility, by any maker, the ability for it to twist was always a possiblility, as it was cut off. I want to call it an Akro, believe me on that. It may be a Vitro that twisted during the cutoff and drop onto the rollers. 50-50 on this one. More opionions are needed on this one and perhaps some more images. Nice marble regardless! Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Nice images Dave. The blue ones are swirls. Not Akro Jabo?--just guessing here. Nice looking marbles, love that thin line in them. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think the last one is a Jabo with seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'm thinking Jabo or Anacortes Vitro on this one: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'm actually wondering about Anacortes Vitro on all of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think that Steph has the blue and white one cornered. Should we call these patches, swatches, swritches or swirls? Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Great research Dave13, This is as link that may explain some differences between some older Vitros such as those that you show and the ones that are talked about in your post. Thanks to the mega marble researcher Steph. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/8447-vitro-timeline/ The time difference between Anacortes Vitro marbles and Jabo/Vitro marbles is quite slim. I believe that some were sold by Jabo as as carry-over from the Washington Vitro plant and possibly marketed as Jabo-Vitro, blah, blah, blah. The marbles that you have are pretty heavy on the included white vs what may be found in a Jabo production marble. The thick white swirling that is included and the blue colors are almost definitely from a Vitro glass recipe that was used in Washington. Of course, this is all my opinion and I will always accept any backlash. Marble—On!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I have a group of lighter blue Vitros just like the first and third marbles. I think Vitro on these 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
