akroorka Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 These are cool—of course they are---- I purchased them😁. This is a new thing for me—fake dug marbles. I believe that these were torched and melted down for the final effect. The flat one had a finish on it which I scraped off with my finger nail. It looks much better without it. (I can still see a few hit marks under the surface) They came from a reputable seller that also questioned them—“may be dug” was in the title. This is a cool idea with a nice finished product—who does this stuff?? Have you ever seen it before?? Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Do you think they are not AKRO? Confused as to why someone would go to the trouble to mimic a sparkler, then deform it? what am I missing??🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 This is NUTZ ! If these even it hit the rollers then what? So they didn’t blow up and have sharp fractures. Some how survived during the run it’s self. The one on the right second pics with the weird imprint? Whatever made that was obviously hot. That’s about as far as I can go on these. 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 I’d Krazy Glue a post on the one with the imprint and find a place to wear it. Something like this 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 @akroorka I think they're probably just dug. The shapes are not uncommon for dug misshaped marbles. I've got lots of Alley examples just like them. @Fire1981 Kisses are common but I don't think I've seen a four-sided one before - more like a pyramid, pretty cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 on the OP, what exactly is fake? the dug part? If someone took a Akro sparkler, took the time to melt it down/reshape it, and somehow sell it for a profit? Not sure what you paid but I don't see how anyone would profit from "faking" these examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
