¾" double ingot Flintie?

[marblemanvintagemarbles]

I do have a few flinties within my collection. I'm pretty sure this is also a flintie what yall think

To be a double ingot that crease (or evidence of it) should go all the way around the marble. And this one looks more like a game marble to me. Flinties will have an opalescent glow when backlit and many will display "fish eyes" at the poles. I think Akro may have packaged them as Fire Opals too.

In those pics it appears to be a game marble.

Wow. I need a green one like that!

I agree with double ingot--Flintie?

Backlight it. These blue ones will show some opalecence in my experience.

Flinties of this type will usually look like an opaque marble until you backlight them.

Backlight them all!!😁.

Flinties often show up in boxes of game marbles.

If it is just opaque--not a Flintie.

Marble--On!!

@akroorka This is why I don't think it's a double ingot . . .

Flinties came as small as 9/16" Ric. Doubled, this would be less than 3/4".
There was one row of these 9/16” on the right hand side of the #150 Akro Tin ( between the insert box and the tin)—sometimes other 9/16”Akro such as corkscrews or even patches were included. 
The best #150 boxes have the Flinties imho—very hard to find in all five colors, this was the way.
The OP was just finished a bit more on one side imho.
Study the cut-lines closely--both sides of the OP have one to be seen from the images given.
I am just hoping that it is a "Flintie"--it would be a rare find. The blue ones are not easy to ID. 
If it is just a double “Gamer”—still pretty cool.
I just love these marbles (Flinties)—and this stuff—Marbles as well!!
Marble--On!!

You may be right about a double ingot, but there is usually still some sign of the interface between the two ingots, even if it is all smoothed out.

And I'll have to get into the archives and see what I can find - is a row 5 marbles or 6?

🙂

I am going with five according to the original rub marks that I have seen in these boxes, they are long, the rub marks--six would be ---too tight and 5/8" just would not fit. 
Great question Ric, You are getting me back into the older notes here--I love it. 
I show one below, an Original with a new row of five😉 .👍. 
Yes those are "Moonies" in the middle row and "Flinties in the far right row, 9/16"all. 
I just remembered that I just love this stuff . 

Oh by the way--the OG has to be a Flintie or we will be spanked again.

Help us out here in "The Marble Jungle".

Great stuff marblemanvintagemarbles!
Marble--On!!
