Tommy Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Just acquired this mib in a lot . took it into the sun for some pics Has an a crazy base glass like opal with some blue tint or something the cork I thought was black but it is dark dark purple . I got some shots of the blue tint it is crazy it's like 2 marbles when the light shines through the blue. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am amazed at this one Tommy—just flaber-gassed. I have never seen one like it. 99% of the black that you see in marbles/glass is either purple, brown, green, grey or blue. True black is a very hard find in any glass and I remember having some heated discussions with our old friend Ron regarding this “no black glass thing”. He convinced me that there is true black glass and had recipes to back him up—I gave up and have yet to see it in hand. This is just a great corkscrew—why would one quit collecting them? They are always showing up as one offs or very special ones. Backlight them all---- I just love this stuff. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen any other than 5/8 Thanks for the correction, TJ. I haven't had those marbles in hand for probably ten years but I seem to recall that they were typical size - 5/8" or very close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are special for sure but there are many "special" Ox Patches that showed up in the later years. I often wondered who made them--Master Glass or Akro. Marble--On!!

Those 1" are akro and were often found in #300 art deco boxes as shooters. Sometimes opaque white bases and sometimes clear based like based like yours with white, blue yellow or sometimes green instead of blue. They are a tricolor onyx oxblood Agate. Not easy to find. Akro didn't make any marbles that nice after the late 30s really. They didn't make any spirals.. all Agate 'patch types' .. low quality, easy to make, no high maintenance cam driven arm to make spiral agates.. Just plain agates with a few colors everyone calls patches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
