  1. Nice - now you can look for a blue one and one with both blue and green.
  2. I think Alley on the two outer ones but I'm not sure about the transparent based one in the middle - they are notoriously tough to ID.
  3. My first guess would be Heaton.

    Marble King?

    You are off to a strong start though!
  5. It's pretty easy to see why there was some confusion at first . . . The big difference is that the Alleys on the outside were not found at the Akro digs like the center patch was.

    Vitro?

    The circled one is the MK Rainbow Red - sometimes called a double ribbon structure since there are two sets of equatorial ribbons (one pair will always be red).

    Marble King?

    Some of those patches like the lower right can be tough to ID since Akro, Vitro and MK all made marbles that can look very similar.

    Marble King?

    A little hard to tell from this view but I think the top right is probably MK - the bottom one does look more Vitro to me.

    Vitro?

    The one you added is a MK Rainbow Red.

    Corkscrews

    There are some better referred to as spirals that can be ceramic (AM&T), China (German) or glass (Navarre) but they look quite a bit different. Then there are "broken corkscrews" that are Peltier. But true corkscrews are Akro.
  11. I'm sure you realize there are a few big Vacors in the mix. The others are interesting but not like any I am familiar with so probably not American is about all I can say. Hopefully, someone else will be able to tell us more about them.

    Corkscrews

    They all look like Corkscrews from this view.

    Vitro?

    They look to be mostly newer All Reds but there might be a couple of MKs in the mix. And if there is light blue between the yellow and red patches on the lower left marble it's a Yellow Jacket.

    Champion?

    They look like Champions to me.
  15. I think they're both Vitro and the second is a whacky Conqueror type.
  16. Merry Christmas Chad - thanks for all you do to keep things here running smoothly! Here are a few of brother Billy's (BIll McCaleb's @mibcapper) Pelts for you to enjoy . . . I am only lucky enough to have enjoyed fondling and photographing them.
  17. Dear Santa, Please be sure to polish Rudolph's nose before you leave. I hear there is a big storm coming and it's real dark where I live. I have been an extra good boy this year. My best friend Bill will vouch for me. Unfortunately, my Mom has laryngitis so she won't be able to. I would like a marble made during the 17th century, with provenance please. If you can't find one, a spiral marble from the American Marble & Toy Company would be okay too. Your Friend, -Ricky
  18. I am thinking a couple of Alleys and a big Peltier Peanut Butter and Jelly.
  19. It's a cool looking machine made marble but with the big twist it's hard to tell who made it from these views.
  20. It's such a great group of Akro marbles - I've never seen such a horde of those big patches. Thanks for the additional pic.
  21. Speaking of JABO patches . . .
  22. Happy MK Monday to you too, Dave! MK Pixie Dust
