Ravenswood, Alley and Vitro are my top three but I really like Akron Toy marbles and many other types too.
-
Alan, your group shots are always something to behold - stunning is a good description. And the marbles are always so minty. Are those all big Claudia's on the back of your Akro group shot? Just awesome.
-
Those are great group shots, Chad - the marbles are beautiful.
-
Those are all kinds of fun, Art!
-
The video helps to distinguish damage from shear marks and I'm leaning more toward Master now - showing the other cutoff also might have sealed the deal for me.
-
If you have never seen it before –buy it

This is a great find, Art. As far as i recall, I have never seen one with that image or construction. It appears to be put together like a coin purse - very cool! -
I am leaning pretty hard toward Vitro on the lower right marble and the one to the left of it might be Vitro too. But I would need a good straight on shot of the cutoffs on these two to have more confidence.
-
It's definitely a Vitro TriLite.
-
Thanks for the additional pics. A good view of the cutoffs usually helps. It appears the base glass is not entirely opaque and while it may well be a Master marble, the cutoffs are giving me a foreign vibe too. And unlike Art, it's not really striking me as Akro.
-
I think it's probably Master too.
-
How about Cairo?
-
Master for the most part but maybe a Vitro or two mixed in - sorta hard to tell from just one view . . .
-
The Yellow Tracer is a good one one . . .
-
I don't think JABO or Pletier - Alley or CAC is more likely but I am on the fence as to which it is maybe leaning slightly toward CAC.
-
The more I look at this the more I think Kokomo may be a better bet. The hue of the blue has me leaning pretty hard that way.
-
It's an odd one - doesn't strike me as Vitro, maybe JABO?
-
It does look a little CACish but I'm leaning Alley.
-
I'm with Chad.
-
It's not one I readily recognize. JABO seems like a possibility but it has a pretty intense orange peel surface so I am not too sure, and I wonder about other possibilities.
-
Looks Vitro to me.
-
Single color swirls in transparent glass are often difficult to ID. But given what appears to be batch white glass and the structure, I am leaning CAC, although it could be something else. Many of the swirl companies made similar marbles.
-
Nice Honey Bee!
-
It's an oddball and at that size, I'm not really sure what to think - this may be a hard one to get a firm ID on. Although, it looks to me more like a machine made marble that got spun than a hand-gathered MFC, but I can't offer much more than that.
-
I think Akro Multicolors too.
