akroorka Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 This is a weird one as far as I am concerned—good job once again Gladys. I would not call it a MK. I do not think that it is a Vitro. It looks more like a Master than an Akro to me. Some shots of the cutoffs straight on where the base glass appears cutoff may help any others to give their ideas, which are needed and respected as always. Marble—On!!

Ric Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I agree with Art - it looks more Master or Akro than MK, and it is an odd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thanks Gladys, Great images--- I still think that this may be a Master Made Marble. It could be one that was missed by the Quality Control during a change in the desired end product. The furnaces did not quit, they just kept on going until they could no longer hold together. The blue and white were not intended to be part of this marble, or visa versa, this is the way that it went and finished as you see it. This is my best opinion and I hope that more are coming.

Ric Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I think the blue does look more Master than Akro, at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 I have to go with Akro seams on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted March 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Wow this is all so interesting!! Thank you all, much apricated!! lol some how I keep getting stuck with the odd-balls ! but I like them all so far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 I love what you share with us all Gladys. Odd is always fun for the majority that hang out here. This marble shows cutoff marks on the blue/white that look like Akro and cutoff marks on the base that look more like Master---strange but true. The blue/white coloration almost seems like an afterthought. This one was fun, an Akro/Master combo. Keep them coming!! Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 With many machine made marbles narrowing it down, to one of two companies, is the best that can be done. When it does not affect the value great. What difference does it make ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 When I retired, we had a huge rummage sale. We had several families included. One family had many Native American items that were collected by a since dead relative and these attracted one very informed collector who purchased many items and gave us more than expected, not just in cash but in information---a great collector he was. I thought that this was a Native American bow drill cap. He backed off claiming that it was just a freak of nature. I still wonder given all of the knowledge that he provided that day. This is what drives many collectors—the wonder, and in many cases, not the value but the origin. I still wonder. You will always be questioned regardless of your experience---This is the way! Collect on and wonder on as well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
