  1. I see the quandary - it's a tough call. I am on the fence, leaning slightly towards an odd Peltier Peerless Patch.
  2. Yes, Master and Vacor.
  3. Good bunch of vintage marbles - just a few JABOs in the mix, I think . . . 1) a Cat's Eye - maybe Heaton, tough to tell from these pics. 2) typical blue Master Brushed Patch. 3) pretty little German hand-made laticino. 4) another German hand-made solid core. 5) German hand-made "Peppermint" 6) A cool looking big one - I'll be interested to hear what others have to say about it. I am thinking it's contemporary - perhaps Bulgarian, but I am not 100% sure. 7) Looks like a stone - maybe agate? 8-10) I believe these are all JABO Classics made between 1992 and 2008. 11-12) West Virginia Swirls (WVSs) 13) Vitro Conqueror, one of the most common vintage Vitros you will find.

    Vitro?

    Nice TriLites - a Superior, lower right (yellow bounded by red).
  5. I do like that patch - nice marble!
  6. This is a nice marble, Joe, I'd say it's a Vitro but you are leaving a lot to the imagination with just one view! 😀

    Akro slags?

    Three of four look Akro to me. Does that upper right marble actually have blue in the white?
  8. Alley seems right to me. Are they all not a smidge over 1/2"?
  9. I don't think I've ever seen an Akro Popeye Box with just Sparklers or Oxbloods in it, but I'll bet more than one Mom filled them with whatever was on the floor.
  10. I think a "blue zebra" would have opaque white base glass with opaque blue striping - like a Zebra, but blue - not sure there is a named one though. Your little pretty has a transparent blue base glass with white striping for the ribbons/vanes.
  11. I think the OP marble is in the Tootsie Roll family but the ideal is quite a bit more bold. Here's one from the https://www.peltiermarbles.info/ site (looks like @cheese's background?). Basically, a transparent amber six-ribbon Multicolor Rainbo/Swirl structure with salmon/orange and white striping glass.

    Veiligglas?

    A very nice one, IMO.
  13. I think it's a lot more like Tommy's and not an Antifreeze - they have yellow and the base is really distinct . . .
  14. Nice diverse bunch of marbles, Joep - something for everyone.
  15. Looks to me like it would be the only non-JABO of the six ~3/4" marbles at the bottom of the board - a hint maybe? 😉
  16. Pretty much a six-ribbon Rainbo - less common than 4-ribbon ones, IMO.
  17. Nice Corkscrews for the most part but I am not convinced they are all Akro, especially #3 (top down, left to right).
  18. Nice marble - a Rainbo where excess striping glass on one side of the marble bled together to make a "patch".
  19. @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.
  20. Very nice Peltier Rainbo - a cross-through structure but not a cross-through because it's only one color.
  21. @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.
  22. I'd say most, if not all, are opaque Master Sunbursts as opposed to the Master "brushed patches" in the OP.
