Master to me - maybe Akro upper left.

The only one I might question is the upper right but they do look like Vitros to me.

They all impress me as JABO or maybe Champion. The lower left is the most interesting to me, since it looks like it could be something else.

Thanks for the link Steph - there are some good reference pics there. I could probably go a couple of different ways on most of these marbles. Maybe someday they will interest me enough that I will put in the effort to try and sort them out. Until then, I'll just call them like I see them and not worry to much about it. It's not like an iron-clad ID is going to change the collectible value of these types.

This one looks hand-gathered to me - I'm thinking about a transitional but I'm having a tough time making out the cutoff/pontil. It seems to me that it might be from Navarre or another of those early Ohio companies.

I don't know who might have made these, Joep, but the green one doesn't impress me as American made and the other doesn't impress me as JABO - the structure looks JABOish but the seedy glass doesn't IMO, and it doesn't point to any American maker for me either.

Thanks, Dave. There is an unusual brightness to the green even without UV, and the UV reaction is unusually bright too.

I could see Akro but I wouldn't rule out dug - there were a few digs, and before that there were many diggers. 🙂

Nice looking bunch of marbles - looks like there might be a few matches but I seriously doubt all the marbles are original to the board. I wish you good luck with the condition, though!

Thanks for the heads-up, Dave!

Just don't spin 'em backwards. Nice slags, Rick. Does that third one have a cutoff/pontil on the opposite pole?

Which are you thinking about, Steph - front left, maybe?

I see Akro too.

Akro X2

Nice size - I'm thinking Akro.

It looks Alley to me.

Yellow Jackets . . .

Type III Tiger Eyes . . .

This one is 7/8" . . .

Happy slag and swirl Saturday! Here's a slaggy swirl . . . A nice transparent green base and bright white - just shy of 7/8" and glows like crazy under UV.

It looks like a West Virginia Swirl - Alley to me.

My bet is that some of the marbles Akro packaged as Flinties did not show the opalescent fire. I say this because I have a few marbles that show the "fish eye" and other traits that point to Akro and they do not glow.

I'm pretty sure Dave meant to type Liberty Rebel - hybrid between a Liberty and a Rebel. This is a great marble no matter what it's called. To me it sort of looks like a hybrid between an Orange Rebel (orange & black) and a Liberty (red & blue). Or maybe a Liberty Rebel + orange.

Just in case you aren't aware, Craig S. now maintains a copy of Alan's ID guide: https://buymarbles.com/marblealanhome.html Might be easier to consult than the archive.

I think Master left and Akro right - sorta hard to tell on the lower left one though.
