I think the 4 on the left side of the first pic are all non-masters. The one I like is really odd if it's a patch... it looks like an Alley Carnival in color. I think the blue/yellow is probably an Akro, as well as the green and red, and the one on the left might be CAC striped opaque. All really nice ones in that group.

Thanks cheese . They have always been in my masters group for one reason or the other. The ones that look like akros have traits of masters also. Yhe one you said looks cac never occurred to me that might be. I have never seen a striped opaque with those colors. The ones I have seen have only two colors and the colors look thin. If you know what I mean. What ever they are they have always been some of my favorites.

Sometimes the CACs like that have more colors and they are more valuable when they do. There is some detail lacking in the pics, it could be an akro too. Masters pretty much never have a wide cut line, they are usually pretty narrow. Sometimes the cut line goes to a thin point even. Akro seams are wide and curved like a man's thumbnail, Masters are short and curved like a woman's pinky nail, sometimes "V" shaped, if that helps.

Thought I put up 3 pictures yesterday, guess the one showing the other seem. My other picture shows that on that marble a wide seam that looks like the akro seems. I haven't seen other marbles marked akro at any shows or on line that looks like these. what ever they are I like them a lot.
