  1. 1 looks like a Heaton. 2,3,5,6,7,8 look like Vacor (Mega) marbles from Mexico. 4 are Marble Kings. Please limit each post to 1-3 marbles. It makes IDs easier to deal with.
  2. I again agree with Chad. This one has some nice color - no doubt, it was a stunner in its day.

    Akro

    So it's an Onyx then.

    Akro

    It's a Prizename and if it was lighter colored it might be called a Champagne. It's a pretty one, for sure.

    3/4 what ?

    I should clarify that I lean only slightly toward CAC and I could easily see Alley too. For me, a lot of it comes down to the base color and it looks different depending on which part of the marble and photo you look at. I also think I see two cut lines.
  6. All I know is that Billy put this in the hands of quite a few Pelt gurus and the consensus was that it is a Peltier Cerise. I also know that when it was set on top of a group Cerises in a box he had, it fit right in color and pattern wise, even though it was much larger than the others. What direction would you have taken it?

    Alley did lots of browns but I'm leaning toward CAC on this one.

    Alleys

    I don't see any Alleys. The amber looks like a slag - probably Akro. There are two different green marbles here, right? If so, the one shown in the 5th and last pic looks like a slag too (also Akro) and the other looks like a WVS (pics 1,3,4 and 9?), maybe Cairo? It's pretty hard to sort those green ones out though. It would be helpful if you kept the pics of the same marble together in your post.

    Akro ?

    It looks Akro to me, Joep.
  10. The bigger the better!

    Slags

    To be clear, I would call the one with creased pontil/cutoff a slag, and I think Chad would too.
  12. Production, meaning regular production - it's a JABO Classic made sometime between 1991-2007/8 in a run financed by JABO. The Contract (or Investor) Runs went from 2007/8-2012 and were financed by different groups of investors who made marbles at the JABO factory - these are the named runs, Joker, Foxfire, Mamie, etc.

    Slags

    The first is a creased "pontil" transitional - perhaps Japanese. I think the others are Vitro Conqueror variants - not slags.
  14. Patches, 9/16" to 15/16" . . .
  15. That's what I was thinking too.
  16. @Joe2 Nice TriLites. @Kimbernugs Yellow Jackets are less common than many other types of Vitros. Yellow Jackets . . .

    Blue swirls

    I'd guess Alley upper left, and maybe JABO on the right ones, and Champion lower left, but the big circular reflections in the first three pics are really distracting and make ID difficult so . . .? Your backlighting is not what I am used to seeing, it looks like just more light to me.
  18. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the upper left one - it looks like it has three seams?

    Green swirls

    Lower right is giving me JABO vibes but not sure.
