Most or all of the marbles in your first pic are not Peltier. The second photo shows Rainbos - there are no Super Boys here as far as I can tell, although the upper right one (second pic) might be, it's hard to tell from a single partial view. As far as I can see, there aren't any "special" marbles here, just pretty common Peltiers and WV Swirls.

We really need to see straight on shots of both seams on all the marbles for a better opportunity at an accurate ID. The upper right one does look Master from these views, but there is essentially only one view of the other three marbles so it's difficult to say for sure what they might be - try to show a few different views of each marble when you post for an ID.

Here are a few better pics of the marbles. The clearies range from 17/32" to 7/8" and the Cat's Eyes are all 7/8" or just shy of that. The Cat's Eyes are crude with lots of tiny bubbles and at least some space between the mostly thin translucent vanes - intriguing but not exactly pretty.

And I know Humpty Dumpty, Royal3 ain't him.

I agree with Akro and Vitro.

Thanks a lot for showing those, Dink. I will try to get some individual pics of mine and post them tomorrow. I agree that the Cat's Eyes in this muslin bag seem pretty unique too, and I would have a hard time attributing them to another maker. I feel the same way about a few of the clearies.

It's important to remember that there are often "outliers" in every marble run, and that could include size, structure, color(s) or any combination thereof. I've seen Jorkscrews fool well seasoned Akro collectors.

I think @Alan probably knows more about Akro "pigtails" than most, including me.

It's not a cat's eye type marble . . . If I remember correctly, the Akro pigtails I have seen are like a wispy tight spiral, usually inside of a transparent spiral (Snake).

I think Jeff nailed it . . .

Not like the Akro "pigtails" I've seen - more like a ribbon.

It might just be the lighting but it looks more yellow than I am used to seeing, especially the second one.

It looks a lot like some Champion game marbles I've seen.

The base is a little unusual for a Pistachio, sure looks like it might be a variant though. It's definitely a nice marble, regardless.

Thanks Al, I know there are all kinds of back-filled Champion poly bags out there. I've seen the headers selling by the roll on EBay, which really complicates matters.

I was expecting opaque game marbles or swirls. Instead, I found clearies and cat's eyes . . . Unfortunately, the letter was not inside.

Nice, Melissa, they look like older types to me.

It looks sorta Akro-ish to me, especially the colors. I'll have to get into the archives and see what I can find. Nice marble though, regardless of who made it!

Nice, Chuck. Is Vitro's name anywhere on the packaging? Was there any indication of a date anywhere on the carton? It seems like they may have been packaged for a jobber - maybe 1970s?

Cool, Rick - Cory makes some nice marbles.

@Joe2 Nice, I am really liking that Snowflake Obsidian!

Thanks for the update, and nice work - it looks like you are well on your way to 100 marbles!

@supramisfit Nice marbles, the first one is unusual for Vitro and I'm really liking that Type IV Tiger Eye.

Does anyone have any confirmed examples of the cat's eyes produced by Champion Agate? I understand that they were made in limited quantities but it seems like there should be some known examples out there somewhere. I have never seen any in packaging, has anyone else?

Just browsing around the "Study Hall" today and realized how interesting it is that an apparently German artist adapted the fairly common theme of "cormorant fishing" from Japanese woodblocks and applied it to scenic chinas. I think this is a very attractive marble and would probably buy it if I had the opportunity and the price was right.
