Tommy Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 The lashes fom what I have come to understand is from dull cutters .I don't know why Akro had more probably because of sheer number of mibs produced..just my thoughts 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 What people call "lashes" are caused by dull shears. Any manufacturer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 I know what caused the Lashes. I’m just curious if anyone has other examples of Lashes that aren’t Akro🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 There are quite a few good examples of Master lashes in this thread: Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the two more likely to show them. Akro and Master Made Marbles made some of the finest marbles ever--they were in competition for the roundest marbles with the fewest flaws. Just try to “feel” the imperfections that the eye can see—the “lashes”. They wanted them to be as round as round could be just hard/soft enough to take hits from a stone Agate—very few glass marbles could stand up to an Agate for very long in any competition. ( Steelie’s yes—mostly ball bearings from the local area shop that used ball bearings---cheating imho although some were marketed as marbles) Just my opinion but Master Made Marbles stood up better than Akro marbles. They took quite a beating for a glass marble vs stone/agate. "Shoot Straight as a Crow" meant as straight as a Crow flies. Both of these companies were in direct competition with the original Stone Agates which for the most part at that time were all hand ground—but very round and true. The price of glass marbles eventually pushed the agates out of any competition—even though they were better. Most “Agates” came from Germany—many came from California. ( The term “Agate” was applied to most glass marbles of one design/manufacture or another as a result) I did a short 10 minute search on the interweb and found no images of the folks that used to make these stone Agate marbles. (pretty intense) The old books still have quite an edge here on the interweb. I am far from an expert regarding “Hand Ground Stone Agates”. I do know that @bumblebeeis into them--@Fire --your post—lol and perhaps @akronmarbles. I am just rambling on now— If you have no Agates in your collection--get some! Lets see what others have to say. I just love this stuff! Here is an image of a bruiser Agate backlight--3/4". Those are all hit marks (moons) from play. Martble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 I would like to see examples of a Pelt, MK or Vitro seams with lashes. Foreign Lashes don’t count. Let’s boil this down. I would like/want to see pics that visually validate Lashes on any of the 3 above marble manufacturers seams🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
