How To Identify Slag Marbles

In this video we work with Slagmaster Rich Stremme and break down the slag marbles identifications in a way that should be helpful for you as you sort through your marbles.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Thanks Iron Chief , hopefully you have some unusual ones !

[@phxpunkx22]

Another great video sir! As far as the punk rock fish logo that is for the band Blink-182. I used to see them in the mid-90s when they were just called Blink.... some Canadian band of the same name threatened to sue them so they added the 182 last time I saw them was with the vandals and assorted jelly beans at the Nile Theater in Mesa Arizona P.N.D.!!

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Thanks Shabby! Actually - the fishy logo goes way back to the ‘70’s & ‘80’s from a punk band called “Flipper” from San Francisco ✅

[@rogerdavis9962]

I have 8 old Mason jars full of marbles my grandmother collected, she was born in the 1920's...I don't know where when or how she acquired them...wish I knew an expert to help me know exactly what I have. I feel like the potential for finding some very rare ones in this collection is very good.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

That’s a good thing ✅ Thanks Blue Crow!

[@sutrey9012]

i keep hearing that chances are likely an akro slag because of the length of time the company produced marbles. But does anybody know how many years akro produced slags or verified numbers produced from company records? if not i think it could be a mistake to assume that akro produced much more than the other slag companies. i mean if slags fell out of popularity at a certain time, akro doesnt keep producing slags so years of production could be very similiar. there are other variables that would no doubt dictate production numbers of slags in certain years.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Hi Su, those old production records are not available. These are just our observations, based on their slag style and the commonness found in our sample sizes.

[@judyvareberg2275]

When you talk about the color of slag are you talking about the slag base color or the stripe color?

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

We’re referring to the base color, the swirl color is always white on a slag occasionally you will see yellowing on the white. ☑️

@@stephenbahrmarbles I am 54 years old and have been buying coin collections for over 30 years. A lot of times I need to purchase everything these people have and that includes marbles. I recently picked up a few hundred that were all picked up by a 97-year-old gentleman. A good portion of them were picked up at some of the southern marble factories where him and his brother in the 70s went and dug them up. I’ve learned so much from your videos. It’s incredible thank you for everything you guys do..
