Akro Moss Agates, IMO, you got 'em!

It's amazing what you find in marble lots. The top right looks like quartz and I would have thought earthenware on a couple in the bottom pic.

This one looks like an Akro Patch, perhaps with very thin oxblood.

I edited my first post. Check it out. You may have some of the other types too.

That is a Vitro Black Line All Red, earlier production than the Vitro All Reds without the black stripes - every marble had red on it, usually 1/2 and 1/2 with another color. The earlier ones had a black line separating the two colors. They are pretty common types. Check out the 3rd rolling pin down: Ron's pic from a different thread. Marbles in the top pin are Blackies and the marbles in the 2nd pin are Whities - all Vitro.

That's does have a really nice pattern on it, and it looks CAC to me too. Not so sure about metallic though, looks a bit more like some sort of impurity to me. And it reminded me of these . . .

I am becoming becoming more interested in stone and earthenware marbles.

The truck's mirrors are still in the box.

Based on colors, I'm leaning toward an Akro Patch too. Basically, Popeye Patches have the same colors as an Akro Popeye but without as much colored glass and no corkscrewing - patch style. It seems this one has an extra color - purple, if my eyes are right. Popeyes usually only have two colors along with the white (in a clear base).

It reminds me a lot of this one: The last time I saw Clyde (RIP) he thought it was a Peltier, so I gave it to him.

Is that one ribbon kind of a pink/purplish color or am I seeing things?

The reason I asked is because there is such a thing as a red mica marble. Mica looks like little chips of mirror-like metal and I think should be obvious if there is any in there. You have to be careful looking for it though because internal fractures and even reflections from surface damage can give the appearance of mica. In some cases, you might need a very bright light and some magnification to distinguish one from the other.

They sure are . . . Multicolor Swirls.

That is a dandy marble. Is there yellow in it?

Yeah, I'd say there is little doubt about it.

It looks like it's in a shadow. I'd need more light to see the colors and take a guess.

I would say foreign, especially given the orange peel texture.

Is there anything shimmering inside the marble?

I can't see that in the pictures. It just looks like a really dark red marble to me, and if the red is dark enough, it will look black.

It looks like it might be. Sometimes too much light will "wash out" the opalescence. What you're looking for is a a bit of an orange-ish glow. I'll see if I can post some examples in a while. I am away from my files at the moment.

There are lots of Master marbles that only include drab colors. In fact those with brighter more vivid colors are far less common.

Almost every company made transparent marbles using colored glass. Some folks call them purees. Without some sort of structure, swirling, a patch or an opaque color, they are pretty much impossible to identify. And although, there might be a couple of very specific colors that can be attributed to a maker, red is not one of them.

I agree.

It's Vitro and it does have colors found on many Opals, so if the base is opalescent, I am all in with Chad.

I'm with you Chad. It's a little too nice for Kokomo, IMO. I mean, I really like Kokomo marbles, even though they tend not to be the highest quality marbles around. I think their "rustic-ness" is one of their most attractive qualities.
