I purchased an eBay lot of old store marbles about 7 years ago. No id. I think maybe Alox or Cairo? Any ideas? Sorry for the poor quality. Have to learn all over again.

All in the top row could be Cairo.

It might have helped if I had given you gentlemen some decent photos. After I posted the pics I spent a couple of hours learning to use the super macro mode on my camera. Nothing like putting the cart before the horse! Since yesterday I have seen marbles similar to these being sold as Champions. I bet someone was switching a lot of stock deep in WVA.
