Wales are a japahese brand marble, then there are vacro marbles, and akro marbles..... which all can look the same as the master made marble brands and not only myself, but the pro collectors have ID the marbles wrong when selling them. There's great sites to ID marbles at, but none that are complete. Even the books are short and to the point. In all of my collecting I can say that there must be some really confused collectors out there for sure! Thanks Mike.
