Ric Posted Monday at 03:50 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:50 AM 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. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted Monday at 05:39 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:39 AM In those pics it appears to be a game marble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago @akroorka This is why I don't think it's a double ingot . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted 43 minutes ago Report Share Posted 43 minutes ago 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!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
