akroorka Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Cut and copied by this reference. https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/akro-agate-co/ "Brown is the most common, followed by yellow, green, red, and blue. These marbles are actually semi-opaque and have a distinctive orangish glow when held to a light. Later examples have tiny open ends at each pole, called “fisheyes”. The Moonies are relatively easy to find. The Flinties are more difficult. It appears that Flinties were not produced in as great quantities as Moonies and these marbles are often mistaken for game marbles by collectors. Flinties can be found in many No. 150 and No. 200 tins. They were also marketed under the name “Fire Opal.”" The brown ones look almost red--but not---duller. The ones that I picture here are red. I believe that there are white Flinties--they differ from "Moonies" a bit more opaque. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
