marblenewbie Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Here we go with patches again. On right maybe Vitro with brushed patch and a V in the transparent glass at .61, really no clue. Middle with patch over translucent cobalt glass at .59. Not sure its cobalt as it doesn't seem dark enough. Left has transparent glass has an orange streak that doesn't seem to belong, .62. Akro or Vitro on these? I seem to have more questions than answers on these type of mibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 More questions than answers is what patches do to me also ....colors and patch structure are some traits best I've come up with is there are plenty of pics of o.g. boxes filled with Akro patches. Kinda helps narrow it down ..lots of Masters look like patches bit they have a different matrix...and usually exhibit the u or v structure. Hope I got that right lol 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 I'm thinking they could be Master straight across also, but Vitro keeps popping in my head...Master flanked by Vitro's....hmmm...🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 I see no Akro or Master here, I would sort all three as Vitro's. All opinions are welcomed. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Hi I agree with Art they look Vitro to me 👍 William I feel the same way ,the struggle between Akro & Vitro is strong 💪 on some mibs 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Still feeling a Blue based Master for the center marble.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblenewbie Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 I see what you mean, William. It may be a Master Cloudy as it fits that description fairly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblenewbie Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Looking further I could be a Comet although I think most of them have an opaque base. Marbel Allan shows one in the second row of his pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle with patches, period (except for really weird PPPs). Therefore, I usually avoid them! Except when I see a really striking one, then I buy it, not really caring who made it!

cheese Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 I'm with all Vitros. Conqueror types on the ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 These are Master Glass “Brushed glass” white on blue and these are the ones that I believe are in question vs the OP. I do not recall seeing a “Master Made” blue based with white marble in a “Comet” or any other “Master Made” named marble made before they purchased Akro. As said before this week by one of our best—“they are marbles” and anything can happen. Vitro made these dark blue with white, with this big glob of amorphous white opaque stringy glass with a few different colors of transparent based glass—danged if I can remember the name—but they had one. As always, all opinions are welcomed and appreciated---needed as well. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
