¾" double ingot Flintie?

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.

I'm pretty sure this is also a flintie what yall think 

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!!

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!!
