Group 26: cloudy marbles

[Jjay]

Hey, the glass on these marbles seems different than most. It's cloudy looking. Is that a trait of one particular company? Thanks for ID'ing these and letting me know if they go in the commons pile.   Jjay

The cloudy surface?

Some makers frost their marbles with acid on purpose.

For vintage marbles, it usually means they spent time in water, e.g., in an aquarium.  

 

If you have a worn group, that's where I'd put 'em.  Yes, they're commons, but I'm not sure how you would describe the condition.  

#4, 5, 6 are Vitro, by the way.  At least I think #4 is.

#1 is Akro I think.  Maybe #2 also Akro.  I figure Pelt for #3 (with tiny niggling thought about Vitro.)

Thanks Steph.
