Recommended Posts

I got told it was akro patch but I have seen on eBay peltier and akro patches similar the one guy even has a lookalike of same patch it has seedy pieces in the darker patch I can feel cutlines and it's not all the way round this one page buy marbles.com says there were a few screenprinted akro agate made marbles my phone sucks but the lighter colored feathered patch goes down threw the white to the darker patch it won't scratch off and it measures 5/8 not 3/4 like they say is reproduction

Akro did some logo marbles, but as far as I know only Peltier did the Tom Mix back then.

Your marble doesn't look like Akro.

Your online searches are  coming up with questionable results.  This marble in the middle here which was called a Vitro -- that is a Marble King from 1955 to 1965.

Your marble is not the 1960's version.   The modern Marble Kings have two patches -- the only difference between yours and standard modern Marble Kings is that the standard pattern is for the two patches to be on opposite ends.  But I am still reasonably sure that yours is a modern Marble King. 

And I am positive that it is not a vintage Peltier or Akro.

You have a wide mixture of marbles in your last post.



Bottom line: 

There is old Tom Mix and modern Tom Mix.  

The old Tom Mix is on Peltier Peerless Patches.  The modern Tom Mix is on modern marbles. 

Yours is a modern Tom Mix.

Even though there is a resemblance to Peltiers, you have two patches. 

 

The originals were on Peltier's Peerless Patches. 

Peerless Patches have a single patch.  

I apologize for not making that explicit before.   I assumed you knew what a Peerless Patch style was.

And I don't like marble King  I got one in a jar the other day with vitros but ive never seen a mk with this less of color loss usually have color up both sides even if 2 colors the white too white up to this comic  again my phone junk I know should be 1 patch but my friend a collector she said a guy found comics original 1 patches that had adventurine in them and its unheard of and why do they say the fakes logo crappy up to the real and fakes look left not right and fakes are 3/4 not this 5/8 ? If it's a special order could kid get it however in colors /detail  or a transition to different type of marble but the color loss up to mk this resembles vitro more than mk cut lines i can feel half moon on one side other side kinda straight mk are opposite of this different cant feel cutlines and no patches like this and color loss up to a mk cant find no mk like it color match on phone says akro but to me has peltier seedy base seeds in patch and pinpricks strange ?

Agree with steph .modern replica..

The info you are playing with on ebay and other selling sires is that thy desperately want a rare marble so it sells . There is lots of information in the archives that will answer your questions.  Patch marbles are tricky , 

And with Lazer printers nowadays you can do anything to fake someone out of top dollar ...

I wish yours was the real deal that would be killer . But .......not Peltier,  not original  just the way the mib rolls bro.

It is an interesting mib for sure. So Bubbles occur for different reasons that I'm am not yet qualified to explain. Seedy base glass is just one trait of many used to identify a marble . The identification given by imho by the other members are as close to expert opinions you can get without going to a marble show with your marble in hand and talk to some O.G 's
