This is one of the older marbles from my fathers playing marbles. It is 11/16", and has 2 large "patches". One is yellow and the other is what I think is oxblood. The color in the photos look red, but they are diffinately a brown-red just like the oxblood colors I have seen on other marbles. The base is an opaque/translucent? with the opaque/translucent? oxblood patch. Does this have two seams? What is this marble? Maker? Ideas? I have another the exact size, it is yellow with a blue/green patch. It also has the same qualities and looks like the same type of marble. Photos will come later. Can anyone help out with this? http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0028.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0025.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0024.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0023.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0022.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0021.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0020.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0019-1.jpg http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv309/eastern-sierra/oxblood%20and%20yellow%20two%20patch/IMG_0018-1.jpg _________________ Don't Tread On Me

regardless of the true color, I can assure you that it is not oxblood. Likely Akro, or Master patch. ... Roger

Thank you about the oxblood. I am glad I didn't actually claim it to be oxblood, because I have not held a marble that has oxblood in it. I won't be able to identify oxblood until that happens. I have a lot more marbles to go through, so maybe a true oxblood with appear. Akro or Master, eh? This marble looks really old. Any idea of a ballpark circa date? _________________ Don't Tread On Me

Wow! Are you going to make a cullet marble from that or is it too valuable the way it is now? I should have described the brownish -red color on my posted marble as being brownish-red. I was just really surprised how my digital camera didn't pick up the true color. It is usually very good at getting the colors pretty close. I couldn't even edit it to get closer to the brownish-red. Oh well. Looking at a lot of Akro's and Master's, I guess without really knowing where this marble came from, it could be a Comet or a Starburst, or a Patch. Very confusing, this marble stuff. Thank you for posting the great photos of that cullet. _________________ Don't Tread On Me

I own a fair amount of large cullet pieces from Akro because I was interested in the factory's history and spent time there when people were digging 12+ years ago. I was given much of it for free and I prefer to keep it as it came out of the ground.
