The first three marbles are modern ones, probably from China. The next is a nice German handmade marble cut from a cane. The last one does appear to be a Marble King cross-through Cat's Eye.
-
Vacors are not the only marbles that show an orange peel texture on their surface but many of them, especially larger ones, do show the trait. This marble is not American and may be Vacor but it's pretty hard to tell from a single view.
-
This appears to be a mineral (stone) sphere, not glass. And it does not show the "eyes" typical of Bennington marbles.
-
I think most or all of these are not American made. Some appear to be Vacor marbles from Mexico. Others may be European or Asian. Also, "same cane" is a term used for handmade marbles that are cut from a cane of glass. They will show pontil marks from the process.

I don't think MFC made red marbles, other than Cornelians.
-
This is the only pic of it I have handy at the moment but I can take more tomorrow if it will help. It is an odd one sort of a brushed patch with yellow stripes.
-
I'm a little confused now Art. So Master Made didn't put their marbles in Master Made boxes but Master Glass did? And I assure you, there are no Imperial Marbles in that group.

Oh man, I used to lay awake at night worrying that someday my son might do some of the absolutely crazy dangerous stuff I did as kid.

This is really nice, Bruce!

Here's my No. 5.

Of course, it's always tough to tell "original" with a box but I don't see anything that looks too out of place. I'll be interested to hear what @akroorka says, though.

As far as I know American Agates only come in red.
-
It's sorta got that American Agate look.

Here's a link to a beauty Bill posted.

I would say, yes - nice one too.
-
Very nice, another great board and marbles.
-
That's a good looking marble.

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

I agree, Joep. Wow, there are a few awesome examples in this group! -
I doubt any are Victories since the transparent glass of those marbles is usually some of the nicest you will see - crystal clear and no bubbles.

Happy Ground Hog Day--show your best from the ground
Ric replied to akroorka's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I think they're great, Joep, and given the look of them and the fact that they have been making marbles in the Netherlands for a very long time, my bet is they are quite old. How big are they? -
Base on these pics, the third in your OP is JABO and the first may be Heaton.
-
Alley on the right - not sure about the left one.
-
No oxblood, maybe Heaton.
-
Pretty sure. The only ones I might question are the first and the third, and I would need to see more before I changed my mind.
