Sometimes you can tell by the seams, patch traits, or colors, etc. but there can be so much variation within the different color combos from each maker that sometimes all you can really do is guess. As Ron always says - some just can't be identified with any real accuracy. The red/yellow and red/blue combos are probably the most difficult. From what I see here, only the top right looks like it might be MK - the others look like later Vitro production to me.

Never seen or heard of similar marbles from West Virginia. Is it thought to be contemporary? Any other info about it?

Left looks foreign, maybe Master Glass. The others look mostly Vitro to me, but sort of hard to tell from these pics.

Yes, Vitro.

More than likely Peltier Rainbos.

I'm thinking Akro.

@Chad G. Nice purple color on a couple of those! Here's a wild one with a wandering patch, a good twist and pinched seams too. . . . . . . it's all kinds of weird!

Well, I hope to learn a lot more about these - nice array of colors. Do they have some sort of cut-off mark / pontil?

I hear you . . . it's tough to toss a marble, especially if it's your only example!

Posting some good ones lately, Joe! Red Zebra variants, a beautiful pink patch (why do you think Pelt?), and what appears to be a killer Vitro Tiger Eye variant that could really use a bath! 😀

And I'll bet they are something to behold - you just don't see that many good hybrid Bananas together often!

Lucky, no matter how you look at it! Were they all yellow-banana-based hybrids? What other colors were there? What a great find, Jeff!

Happy Pelt Tuesday!

Some kind of an odd Akro Corkscrew IMO. Really cool one though!

Both nice, Dave, but I really like that red color!

Nice group of Veiligglas, William!

Very nice Heaton, Joe.

Nice Allry Joe - kin of the Lady Tater IMO.

That's a really pretty marble!

@PittsburghMarbles That looks like a great day to me!

The small ones are much harder to find than the larger sizes. I like the size range in the examples you show!

This is a Vitro Phantom Conqueror.

It looks like there is a lot of transparent in it, which might rule out Imperial. Did it sell as a Master?

Oh no, I am not calling anything into doubt - they look Akro enough to me. Maybe they ran a peewee machine to make them only for wholesale to jobbers like Rosenthal, and just thought it would be cute to put one in those Popeye boxes. I mean, Akro never sold bags or boxes of 000 marbles under their own name, correct? I wonder if anyone has found any paperwork indicating that Akro sold peewees in bulk.

I would say foreign too - maybe Imperial, maybe Vacor.
