Dave 13 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi this one has a dark green base hard to tell even when backlit and i believe thats AV i’m seeing i’m thinking foreign but the cut marks have me 2nd guessing myself thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peltier Mibber Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I think it's a type of Imperial (foreign). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 That’s a tough one. I would agree it’s foreign. I think the AV needs to be the next trait that needs to be established. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 thanks for looking guys I'm thinking the same as you Fire1981 about if that’s AV or bubbles at least i can stop 2nd guessing if it foreign or not .it sure sparkles like AV when you turn it in hand with a bright light on it thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Looks foreign to me as well, maybe Imperial as said by mibber ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I have a few of these at home and I think the overall consensus on mine was Imperial also.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 cool thx guys i’m going foreign on it but is that AV ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 hi i have come to the conclusion that it is AV did some more homework and looked at pics of other peoples mibs that got dark base and AV cool thing is i got lots of theses old imperial /foreign with AV 👊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Never seen an Imperial w/ av. , "if" they do have av maybe something else other than Imperial, unknown to me ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hi Dave, This is a great example of cutoffs throwing the collector off the mark. It is also a great example of "eyelashes" on a marble that is not Akro. The whole crew has this one right. Dust off your marbles a bit more and polish them well before posting them, especially if you want an ID on any possible included AV. Heavy backlighting will help in these examples as well. I will have to look closer at this type. AV in any marble is a bonus. Nice marble! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, I'm stumped, I still think foreign made but by who I haven't the slightest !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I cannot view the vid, but will agree with Chad if he sees it. Vacor would not help to explain any AV either. How big is this marble? Could it be a later run Pelt? Hmmm--tuff one for sure. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 13 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Joep go to the Ebay link Chad shows on here go into sold items sure the ones sold have AV but you got to look with at least 10x to see the fine AV in some of them and some only got it in little patches so you got to look good it seems to me if you see a few sparkles on any mib you can say it has AV i’ve seen lots of mibs on here and AAM were they say it’s got AV and all i see is a few sparkles one of them with AV sold for $7.00 usd more then lots of USA made single mibs sold for i think some mibs that made it to the UK and Canada might not be as common in the USA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
