I'm thinking CAC.

A very nice Alley IMO.

Alley is my bet.

Very Interesting transparent green base
Ric replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I'm not really seeing Master or Akro, although I have seen oddball Vitros that look very similar - Conqueror era Vitro is my guess. -
I'm thinking it's likely generic too. The Native American motif was very common on marble bags back in the day. Back when lots of families took road trips for summer vacations, you could find generic marble bags of one type or another at nearly every souvenir shop. And I recall those shops were very common. Manufacturers would often use the exact same graphics on different types of bags too, so it wouldn't surprise me to see this particular graphic on other bags as well.

I'm thinking Champion - they did quite a few with that smoky greenish/purplish base.

An interesting bunch - something for everybody! What size is that largest sulfide?

A disappointing chunk out of a neato corkscrew
Ric replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
It's a beauty, and very unusual. Good luck finding a mint one. The challenge will be that if an Akro collector ever sees one, they're going to buy it - you're going to need some extraordinary luck! -
It was a marble that @Fire1981 posted on Thursday that yours reminded me of. I think yours is probably a JABO Classic - now I'm wondering about Fire's marble too.

I'm thinking this one is a JABO Classic too.

2 marbles ⅝" Red swirl, & ⅝" potential vitro
Ric replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I see a Ravenswood and a wacky Vitro Conqueror. -
I agree with JABO.
-
Champion is my first thought.
-
I agree it's contemporary. It's a pretty chunk of glass, what size is it? I assume you looked for a makers mark?

Today they came in pairs. Another couple Master Marble mibs
Ric replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
@The Nickel Guy I think you took Art the wrong way. I can guarantee he was not accusing you of deception. He was just letting you know that "tweaked" photos can often make it more difficult to accurately ID a marble. So many of these crazy marbles are so similar to one another that an "unnatural" photo can send us down the wrong path. In fact, I often tell people to be sure their photos actually look like the marble in-hand before they post them. 🙂 -

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more pics of these two: Nice colors, and they seem a little different to me. 🙂

A Flintie that glows like the dickens under UV?
-
@akroorka Those are nice tins with a great selection of marbles. The bag is awesome. and of all places, Weyauwega, WI?! It's so cool!

Oh boy, that's a pretty one!
