Fire1981 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I got these in 1972. Orange mesh bag with a green header. I was a kid so the bag is gone. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 They look like Akros to me. The big ones look like what you might find in a Paul Bunyan bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I have to ask, are you absolutely sure that all 7 of these marbles came in the same mesh bag? The reason I ask is because there is some debate about who made the big Paul Bunyan's and I am pretty certain that the little ones are Akro. The PBs are usually found in mesh or poly bags labeled as such by Ravenswood Novelty, or in mesh bags labeled "Genuine Old Fashion Marbles", where there is one PB and some smaller Ravenswood marbles. If all of your marbles were in the same mesh bag, it could suggest that the PBs were made by Akro, since I don't think Akros are found in Jobber packaging.

akroorka Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I have alway pondered on the patches on the bottom row as being very late Akros. They are quite common. The big ones either late Akro or Master Glass after the buyout. Just a thought--no proof. Marble--On!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 They were all in the same bag. This is the the other Shooter in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 It has been a long trail trying to pin the Paul Bunyan marbles to either Akro or Master for sure with no doubt ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
