The Nickel Guy Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Here's a couple pretty marbles that I am thinking are maybe Aldo Sparkers or Sunbursts? I am trying to do all I can to learn on my own as much as I am relying on you fine people. These are maybe 3/4 inch in diameter or maybe just shy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted August 21 Author Report Share Posted August 21 I see that Akrp Sparklers are much more colorful and attractive than my examples. Maybe this is closer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 The top is for sure an Akro. I don't know any name for it though. I believe the second to also be an Akro, again with no name that I know. The last marble looks Master. I also expect that many would call that one a Sunburst. I don't call it that, but I understand the custom. (I just call them Master because by the end of the 1930's, the Master production didn't really match the catalog descriptions for the names they introduced in 1930. But in a world which needs names, I can't complain when people try to fit them into the pigeonhole they think comes closest. And Master kept using the names but I don't think even they cared what went in which box in later years.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
