  1. Pretty much a six-ribbon Rainbo - less common than 4-ribbon ones, IMO.
  2. Nice Corkscrews for the most part but I am not convinced they are all Akro, especially #3 (top down, left to right).
  3. Nice marble - a Rainbo where excess striping glass on one side of the marble bled together to make a "patch".
  4. @akroorka @Melissa Nice examples, Art, thanks for showing them. I'm sticking with something other than Akro for the OP - too many ribbon ends and the colors look very different to me. Maybe different Akro examples would convince me otherwise, but there are a few things about this marble that make me think Vacor too.
  5. Very nice Peltier Rainbo - a cross-through structure but not a cross-through because it's only one color.
  6. @Melissa Yes, bifurcated is when there are two distinctly different base glasses on opposite halves of the marble. In your marble, the light brown/tan color on the one side of the marble is produced by color "leaking out" from and between the two darker ribbons that border the area. I think the base is off for a Copperhead and the striping pattern doesn't look right to earn a Wood designation either, IMO.
  7. I'd say most, if not all, are opaque Master Sunbursts as opposed to the Master "brushed patches" in the OP.
  8. Coral and white on transparent is a more unusual color combo for Rainbos - I don't think this one has "sunset" traits.
  9. Nice color, I'd say Alley. If not, maybe Champion?

    The blue one is interesting, it looks a bit closer to a "transitional" to me - sort of unusual cut-off, IMO. In addition, I'm not sure I see facets on either - the second looks like a ground pontil? As always, hoping to learn something here.
  11. Just wanted to let you know. And thanks for editing your post. Lots of people consult these named threads and those in Steph's Study Hall looking for examples, it's nice to keep them "clean" so as not to mislead people.
  12. That's a Vitro Yellow Jacket, Warren, a lot less common than an All Red, and prettier too, IMO.
  13. That Buttermilk is a lot older and probably double the value of the Parrot.

    Akro slags?

    They may all be Akro but 4 & 6 may deserve another view or two. If there is a visible cut-off it helps to see a straight-on shot of it and then pics of both sides (like you're showing in the last photo.
  15. Take good care of that left one, if it's mint at that size it's an expensive marble.
  16. Gotta remember, Vacor made swirls for a very long time, and we don't know a lot about their production prior to the time they started naming them. Regardless, that kind of orange peel is uncommon, maybe even rare, on American marbles.
  17. Slightly odd, but I'm thinking Ally on the right one. Left almost looks like it might be an older Vacor - orange peel galore!
  18. Wouldn't it be great if we could ID every marble? My guesses: Alley, Champion, Alley, Alley. It doesn't much matter though, the collectible and monetary value is minimal regardless of who made them.
  19. Yes, a Parrot, and a little unusual in how well it maintained is structure at that size, they usually get a bit twisted.
  20. Absolutely, Buttermilks - great marbles!

    Red swirls

    They're giving me a JABO vibe.
