The first one looks like it might be a Wedding Cake - kind of hard to tell from these views - looks a little out of focus. I doubt the second one is though, and it does not look like a Cat's Eye either.

Vienna Parrots? That's how Chuck B. referred to these . . . the colors are a cut above, for sure.

Blueberry Ade?

This might qualify as odd . . .

It does have the Ace base. I am not familiar with an Ace Popeye though. This one's not a Popeye, IMO.

I saw that little round-looking spot too but I am chalking it up to shear wierdness. 🙂

Good call, I'd say!

Man, you've got a nice Vitro collection! I wish mine was half as well organized. All the marbles are great. But hands down, this is my favorite: It's a killer.

There are some dandy marbles in that case! The single doesn't really strike me as Peltier, although it does sort of have the look, something just seems off - maybe one from Anacortes?

The Cat's Eyes look Asian to me. And I agree with the chip in the amber one - it's amazing how symmetrical they can be, and the little nub in the center of it is not too uncommon either.

I agree the slag looks like it might be hand-gathered but I wouldn't expect to see a pontil.

I doubt Vitro on the left one . . . the other two do look a little Vitro but I wonder about the possibility of newer Jabos. Parts of some runs did have seams and that sort of structure and the colors don't really look Vitro to me. I haven't kept very good track of the newer marble runs maybe someone else will recognize them.

Cool marble, it's an odd one too. About the only thing that makes it look gathered is that weird tail. Given the size, and the way it looks, I wonder if it might be a double ingot? I thought the same about that other one you posted. And I agree about the blue on the one I posted - very odd for Pelt. I do think it's Kokomo. I have seen that sort of blue on some of them.

The Strikes and Cages are great old marbles, for sure. I'd like to have multiples of each. 🙂

Yup - that ^^ fits the "odd" description . . . I've wondered if this might be Kokomo.

The top one is a great marble - looks like an old Sistersville Alley to me - very nice! The second looks like a Peltier.

Those purples are cool. I'll have to look and see if I have anything like those - it seems unlikely, since I don't think I would forget them. And that is a great display! I have always liked those orange/yellow/mossy ones.

Nice marble, I'd have it with my Alleys.

Or these . . .

Or Aquamarines and their variants . . .

I can't resist a nice Cat's Eye either . . .

Hi Bruce, Rainbos usually have four or six ribbons running seam to seam. Vitros can sometimes look a bit like them but are not usually as symmetrical. Having said that, some of the ribbons on Rainbos can get pretty wild - to the point where its sort of hard to tell there really are four or six. Beyond that, colors are usually a very good clue, as are the shape of the seams - there is usually at least one sort of weak "S"-shaped seam on Rainbos - not so common on Vitros. Here are some Peltier Rainbos: And some Vitros, for comparison: I hope this helps. But beyond that, like Rooster said, study and sort, study and sort . . . it'll take some effort, but you'll get there eventually!

These are some of my favorites . . . but I have lots of favorites when it comes to Vitros!

They do look more Akro in the newer pics - like some kind of eggyolk maybe?

It is a cool one - I have seen similar, but not too many, that's for sure.
