These are mostly Peltier Rainbos, a few WV Swirls, and a few others, perhaps.

It looks like a Master to me, Melissa.

A few more . . . 11/16", 3/4" and 7/8"

I like the base glass on those marbles - it's very distinctive, although Peltier made some Rainbos using very similar colors. The yellow/orange really stands out on that base.

I don't know if "emulate" is the right word. Master Marble was started by ex-Akro Agate employees who were determined to compete with Akro. So I imagine Master was trying to produce marbles that were more appealing or less expensive than the Akros that were already widely available. Nevertheless, both companies produced moss agate type marbles, some of which are nearly identical.

Grab that mower and head on over brother! I've got about 5 acres of lawn - you'll be in hog heaven!

I'm looking forward to seeing it, Art!

A few more Akros, just because my finish mower lost a wheel . . . Honestly, I wasn't really in the mood to mow the grass anyway. Unfortunately, the new wheel won't be here for about a week and I'll probably have to break out the bush hog to get through it by then. 🙁

That really is a great brown color on the first one. I Have a bit of a thing for Moss Agates too . . .

I'm glad you know I was just goofing around with the "interloper" comment, William -those CACs can be sneaky sometimes.

The Sparkler is nice but I'm a sucker for a good brown with yellow like the second one - great color combination, IMO.

The first is a CAC Striped Opaque, the second a weak CAC Swirl and the third is a CAC Flame, and a nice one at that.

Here are a couple of recent acquisitions . . . The big one is 1" and the other is just over 9/16". Of course, they both glow like crazy.

@Dave 13 Nice ones - the big blue egg yolk is great and the Lemonade Corkscrew is really nice! @William Nice bunch of Akros there William! @Alan Great tight spiral and colors on that Special! What size is it?

At one point, Ron Shepherd had what I think was a "Santa Claus" box full. That's the most I've ever seen in one place - maybe a hundred or so.

That's a nice little collection of Czech bullet mold marbles, Joe! I spent five days in Prague in the early 2000s and "skleněné kuličky" (glass marbles) is one of the key phrases I was sure to memorize before I arrived. 😄

And then there is this peewee beauty (15/32"). As some of you know, I am blessed with elderly parents, and I recently went through a lengthy and stressful time attending to my 96 year old Mother after she broke her ankle. When I arrived back home I found a package that had been sent to me, pretty much out of the blue, by one of my very best friends here at the Connection. It contained a slew of great marbles, but this one has quickly become my new favorite. All I can say is that I am very grateful. The marble surprise certainly lifted my spirits and reminded me of just how fortunate I really am. 🙂

@William Very nice, WIlliam. I have always liked a good stone marble, and that fourth on is especially nice!

Here are the only two Germans that came in the lot with the Master box. I think they're both just typical Latticinos (please let me know if there is anything unusual about them or if you would call them something else). They're in nice condition though, so I'll put them in with the rest of my German hand-mades and keep them for at least a while. 🙂

Wow, @crashbelt @I'llhavethat1 @Chad G. @schmoozer you guy's posted up some really nice Germans while I was absent!

I have seen many, many variations of the Coca Cola logo in or on marbles but I have never seen any like these, at least that I can recall. One of the real challenges is that the Coca Cola logo has been used on/in marbles for decades, in both authorized and unauthorized forms, and that is probably going to make these difficult to sort out. Having said that, it seems unlikely that you have found the only three in existence, so hopefully something will turn up sooner or later, but who knows? I'm sorry I can't offer any real help.

Vitro, MK and Vacor, IMO.

I agree with Joe, they look like JABO classics to me too.

I think there are two interlopers from Ohio in your group.
