Encouraging to see the cutline on there, rather than a Bulgarian pontil, lol. It's a nice marble no doubt. Either the glass looks newer or the super-mint surface reflecting the white is what throws me of a bit. Might be able to tell better in person. Somebody did a pretty good post on Bricks a couple years ago, green bricks etc. I'll post the link if I can find it.

Looks like it could be. Some more detailed pics, size, etc. would help rule out some of the other possibilities.

Nice marble

If it's not a CAC it could be one of those Vacor Atmospere. I really hope it's a CAC though, because you just don't see them that often

First one looks a bit more Vacor-ish than the rest, but CAC used similar colors.

Looks like a German shrunken core onionskin, but I'd also like to see some better pics.

I'm not up to date on Vacor, but the wear/imperfections would have made me guess twice

Agreed. The symmetry and spacing of the visible outer bands is a bit better than average as well. If the other side and pontils look good, would be a nice addition.

Any Aventurine (sparkles) in the big Pelt?

Skilled/manual trades are in demand so that's a good thing. Sometimes much better than sitting in an office. Yeah I'm pretty disappointed with the photobucket thing too. Was trying to get an old pic from my album and really froze things up, continuously.

I don't often get to this section of the board, but good for you! personal accomplishments are always motivating.

They all look like Vacor/Mega marbles

Most likely a mix of Vitro and Marble King from what I can tell?

Worth mentioning that what sometimes appear to be "seams" can actually be "folds" in the pattern.

At least a couple of those look handgathered. A couple maybe not so much but hard to tell from the pics.

Amber slag near the middle of first pic looks neat. Nice haul

Not seeing MFC here, could be Alley based on size/colors/pattern. MFC typically have a very distinct 9 pattern from hand gathering. I see what you were thinking but it's more likely a result of a fluke (some machine made marbles end up with an unintentional 9).

Looks like a fun drawer to sort marbles into, is it one of those printing die drawers? Last pic, group of three marbles near the bottom?

These mostly look like Imperials, considered foreign (ie; Asia or Mexico) and newer in the realm of marble collecting (ie: within last 60 years)

Robwell, most of your marbles appear to have been in a fire (?) Sometimes surface irregularities can be mistook for pontils. You may have a German handmade in your group pic, but the pontils might not be apparent due to damage.

I'm not recognizing it, looks handmade but if you found some initials on there that's surprising but may be helpful for your search.

1-red handmade German slag with "chevron" pattern 2-blue handmade German slag with "chevron" pattern 3-mint green and jet black flame (similar to Alley pistachio, but more of a CAC pattern/glass quality) 4-a Mica marble with black core and blizzard of mica surrounding it (hey, you asked, lol) 5-Navarre with 9 and tail, tight twists Good question, got my gears turning

Cool. that would make the Sulphide pretty small then...

Nice group, the divided core is a 3-layer (3-stages) and looks pretty neat. Worth noting a 'standard' marble size is approx 5/8" and they don't get much smaller than 1/2". Largest usually tops out around 2" but there are some vintage handmades that were 2.5"+ and also some modern contemporaries that are much larger

Jten, that's gotta be a two-hander. Nice display
