    7/8 Akro

    More like a Liberty Patch.

    Master?

    Not sure I have ever seen a Wales or Pincer at 1" - I think a slightly odd Master.
  3. Alley from St. Mary's, I think - too big for CAC.
  4. Peltier Acme Realer I think.
  5. @akroorka Nice bunch of marbles and a great set of pics, Art!
  6. Definitely something different that I've not seen before. It's hard to tell how big it might have been originally. My best guess would be it's some sort of a warmer - hang it near the fire to warm it up and use it like a heating pad, or put it at the foot of your bed on a cold night maybe . . .

    4 swirls

    They're all giving me a Ravenswood vibe.
  8. I don't think a bit of additional color is too unusual, even if it shows up only on one vane - looks cool though.
  9. It looks like Vacor to me.
  10. 1) I think the term "pontil" has simply come to describe a hand-made cut-off mark, regardless of whether the marble is cut off a punty or a cane, or if the cut-off is finished in a particular way. 2) May be a single-gather German slag. 3) I think they were hand-formed but Brian @akronmarbles might know for sure.
  11. @akroorka I think they're probably just dug. The shapes are not uncommon for dug misshaped marbles. I've got lots of Alley examples just like them. @Fire1981 Kisses are common but I don't think I've seen a four-sided one before - more like a pyramid, pretty cool.

    Sweet potato?

    It looks like a Sweet Potato variant to me. Check this post for more . . . In my experience, the white ones are pretty common.
  13. I think the Blue Boys are older, like Steph said, and that ones like these are newer, but I am not sure how much newer - I'm thinking later than 1980 though. Maybe @Jeff54 has an idea.
  14. My first take was an Indian too. What does the other end of the striping look like? Do you see pontils?
  15. I'd guess Alley and Champion (or maybe Ravenswood). WV Swirls like these are hard to ID with any certainty, especially from only two views.

    4 Blues

    Kinda nondescript - not much to go on. I'd say Ravenswood on the second one though, maybe Heaton on the first, Champion on the third and Alley on the last one.
  17. A couple of WV Swirls - could be a from one of a few different makers.
  18. Melissa's got it right.
  19. The left is a Peltier 6-ribbon Rainbo. It's hard to make out the seams on the right one but it doesn't immediately impress me as Peltier, maybe Akro - a couple of more views might help.

    Vitro?

    I agree it looks Vitro - a typical "patch" type.
  21. That's a great box, Art - very unusual to have the instructions still with it. Nice find!
  22. Aren't 7 Ups are on a transparent green base? This looks like a Holly Berry to me.
  23. I have seen similar looking JABOs from a contract run - don't remember which though. Maybe @Nantucketdink will have an idea.
  24. I think Master didn't make Sparklers and that this isn't a Sunburst either - looks newer to me, maybe Marble King.
