I'd agree with Alley from St. Mary's.

Al is the man when it comes to packaging. None of the bags are particularly hard to find, IMO. The Rainbow bags probably have the most value. You might be able to search sold auctions on Ebay to see if any of these have sold lately and what they sold for.
-
It's a Victory, check out that crystal clear glass - some of the best around, IMO.
-
I agree it's not a Corkscrew, not even a lazy one - maybe just a folded Akro patch.
-
It's an Alley Coral with more clear in the base than usual, IMO - pretty marble.
-
It looks mostly Champion to me but it's kinda weird - what's up with that dark color? It almost looks like there are little white specks in it.

Yes it is, pretty good shape too.
-
Whatever kind of white stuff you have that nut and marble sitting on is producing really bad reflections on the lower half of the marble and making it really tough to see. Try something that's less reflective.

If it's a Tiger Eye, it's an unusual one that doesn't fit any of the typical Tiger Eye types (1-4). The seams and the white color doesn't look quite right for Vitro to me either. I wonder if it's foreign to America. Is it veneered on a transparent base?
-
Looks like a big opaque game marble to me. 😁 I'll take a shot at your swirls, eventually.
-
I'd be thinking pretty hard about Kokomo for this one.
-
Just FYI, Master Cloudies are more like special game marbles - no patches or surface color. @Mister408 The one with a bright white base that is upper right in your first photo may be a Master Comet. Otherwise, I agree the rest are Akros, with all but maybe the one middle left in your first pic being Moss Agates.
-
All I can say is that they are not JABOs or American, IMO.
-
I'd probably go with an Akro Cardinal Red. I don't see that pinkish hue that Cerise's are named for - it shows up great in that first two examples @Fire1981 posted though.
-
I'd have that one with my Alleys. I think I know that color-mix your talking about.
-
It's okay, Wolf, I wasn't speaking to you. I was just goofing with @marblemanvintagemarbles since I picked that Carnelian out of the group shot he posted on Sunday. 🙂
-
Beautiful - that's my kind of neighborhood. 🙂
-
I believe those are Akros.
-
That is what I said, right? 😉

⅝" Alley Falme Loaded With Aventurine?
Ric replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Yup, that's a good Alley. -
It's probably been 15 years since I had that one in hand but it's an over the top Copper Head, as Fire said.
-
It's a good question, Fire. I don't think I have seen a convincing one either. I have a couple that look like they could be but they're really just Rainbos where two wide ribbons have come together to form what looks like a patch, but only if you're not paying attention. All the others I have seen claiming to be Pelts, I'm pretty sure are Akros. 😄
