Stephen, I am so grateful for your videos. What I am craving is a new video where somebody gives you a pile of marbles, and you think out loud so we can see then process just as us novices are faced with figuring out maker, method of making and time of making. First video would be starting with more common ones, and successive videos could go increasingly to more rare varieties.

Hello Stephen! Just for fun, I’m trying to identify my dad’s pre-WWII marbles. I won’t take the time to explain here why Dad treasured them so much, but when he gave them to me, I knew they were precious. For more than twenty years, I’ve kept them safe in a big glass jar. Now I know I have several Akro Agate red and yellow marbles!!! And so my journey begins…. I cannot thank you enough for your help 💐

This is the finest collection of marbles I’ve ever seen. I’d love to hear how you put together this collection - SO many rare beauties here. Incredible.

Keep em rollin Brother, another fantastic video Stephen !!

I just found two oxblood dump digging, one is a silver oxblood I believe. I always keep coming back to these videos. Not only is your collection amazing but very educational. Thanks again. Andrew.

So glad I stumbled across your videos! My wife would say otherwise though😂

Thank you, love akro marbles beautiful. I'm partial to them I live close to Akron.

This channel is such a lift. I love studying the different colors and patterns. They're all quite beautiful.

I bought a batch of marbles from a estate thought I would learn what was valuable and resale. Boy was I wrong.....I’m keeping them lol it’s just addicting now I need more

Stephen, thanks for the wonderful introduction to Akro Agates! I'd like to add links from your videos to my Facebook group, Marble-Wiki, with your permission. People will certainly gain knowledge of the Akro company by watching your video. Fantastic job! Thanks for putting in the time to create them. James Perry

Thanks for this great spec demo on these amazing glass ! The close up shots really bring them out in the light ! So many characteristics to the glass that makes them a unique piece of art 🎨

Wow! What a great video. Those are totally gorgeous marbles. Thanks again for another cool adventure and sharing your awesome knowledge with us. You sure keep me collecting! Looking forward to your next video. Take care Stephan.😀

These ones I have, pretty cool looking, thanyou

Thanks again for sharing

Another great video

I came upon a lot of Akro, and some I can't find an example of to properly id. Your collection is amazing...and even that is an understatement. Thank you for doing what you do. Maybe in your next Akro video I'll get to see some of the ones I'm stumped on.

So drawing just staring at such beautiful marbles ❤

Fantastic educational work. Thank you

Excellent video!!! I want to see one about the JABO marbles 🙏🏼

Fantastic... wow the amount of knowledge... that’s crazy... thank you

S Man! You're the best! This is great

like the egg yolk and lemonade oxblood

I've got to buy a black light now. 😊

very educational thank you so much

Thanks so much for this video. I have a collection from the 30s to mid 50s which I intend to sell. Your information was very helpful. Most of my marbles are Akro and Peltier. I only found two that glow under blacklight, but boy are they bright!

Very helpful

Very helpful video. Thanks so much.

Thank you for your amazing knowledge of these beautiful marbles. I’m losing my marbles lol trying to figure out what is what in order to post them on eBay I have 100’s

Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Thanks so much. Any chance on a future video identifying Akro slags and distinguishing them from other makers slags?

I hunt arrowheads and find marbles all the time. I’ve often wondered about this one I have that’s tiny. I thought it was a little tan colored seed but I picked it up and realized it was a marble. 😁

👍😎

Wish I could find some

As a suggestion you should also mention the values and prices of some mibs.

😊

I feel I still get confused, there are so many. But a couple I found look like one had a line face and one looks like a cat sitting. And I have a big one with a frog inside it. Oh. And a pretty one that looks to be a u swirled just got into checking them out. Hope i learn alot. Now on ti watching your video.. thanks again

I use to collect marbles when I was in my 50's. I am very disappointed that the marble shows are too far away from me. For some reason dealers will not sell through the mail. They are afraid that someone will return marbles for a refund and the marbles won't be the same that were sent to them.

I'd truly love to share my collection with you! It's my prise possession! I love all your videos and still learn alot every time!

I just added myself thanx again for the help .

I love your videos! Ive watched this one 3 or 4 times in 2 days. Your marbles are so beautiful they are mesmerizing. I have a question about the glowing from the UV light. Will this only happen in Akro Agate marbles? I have a few hundred marbles that came from my grandparents house ( In the 1970s, I remember her referring to them as antique marbles, so they have to be old). I am about to pull my hair out trying to figure them out (in a good way :)). I shone a uv light on them and a whole bunch lite up like gangbusters and lots have hot pink and florescent orange ribbons, squiggles, and patches. If I knew that this meant that these were probably Akro Agates, then maybe I could use them as a frame of reference for figuring out some of the other marbles...or at least I'd have a starting point. Thank you so much for your videos. I look forward to seeing more!

Hey Stephen, thanks for showing us your beautiful collection. I'm pretty overwhelmed by all the styles and brands. Do the limeades always iridesce in blacklight? I have a marble that I thought might be an Akro Agate limeade in a kind of corkscrew with yellow, oxblood, and blue along with the green base, but blacklight doesn't do anything to it like it does to yours so now I'm not so sure. It seems pretty aged with some signs of wear, but I think it's pretty high quality. Then again, that could be my inexperience talking.

Hi Steven! Very informative video! I do have a question for you, not sure if you’re still active on KZfaq, but I came across a box of Akro Agates no. 250 with a bunch of marbles in the box and outside the box and I’m having a hard time identifying the marbles if they’re Akro or not I’d love to send you a picture if you’d be willing to help!? Thanks in advance!

Any way I could share with you the collection I got from a deciesed relative.. he lived in Cincinnati for years he was a Shriner a Freemason real eccentric dude in this collection is pretty significant I think you're going to like it there's a few One of a kind like same run bumblebees and stuff it's wild

Some of your really Ultra rare Popeyes will contain uranium glass. I have only ever seen a very few in my entire life of collecting. Akro is my favorite machine-made brand being I'm a buckeye. As you know I'm not A game on my machine made knowledge. Any input you have on this I would love to hear it. 🤔I also have a Blue ox blood uranium glass along with one Popeye. 🤔

Do mica marbles really have any value? How about UV sleepers? Can you help me out with this? Looking on line I have seen some crazy $. Is this right?

I have a collection that i have been saving for a rainy day. I think it has arrived uncertain how to price some in the group. I have a 6 color special 3 4 color specials 1 three color popeye (red yellow black) and one popeye that did not spin correctly making a p instead of a corkscrew. If i took pics would you offer your opinion ?

The black & white Peltier at the end of the video in comparison with the Akro Moss Agates. I have been calling these peerless patches. Is it acme realer? I'm so confused lol

What kind of trays do you use to hold/display those marbles?

Hello Stephan what about some very rare Akros like an Oxblood pigtail?

I have 15 marbles I found underneath my boss's basement floor. I was wondering if u could tell me more about them if I emailed you a picture

I think I just bought 15 of these for 3$ at a thrift store...can anyone help in identifying?

how do u tell the difference between these and vacor? vacor look exactly like these....it's confusing

I have an agate rock that i would like to have made into a marble?.. Is that possible?

Hey. I have a three colored snake. Is this a rare find?

I NEED SOME MARBLE HELP PLZ

Where are you?

Hey bud. Love the identification vids, I found close to what looks like was buttermilk. Message me and I'll show. See what u think please do
