A nice vintage mix. Monetary value is impacted by each little ding on the marble. However, it is still a nice group.
-
Four marbles? I think Jabo on #1 and #3. Mineral sphere on #4. The second marble could also be a Jabo but it has a better defined ribbon than I generally expect on a Jabo, so I am considering other possibilities such as WV swirl or Vacor Old Fashion.

Welcome!
-
Oh, what size is it? I would love to see more of what happens with the blue. Does the blue seem to go from top to bottom but get squished in the middle? If the marble is large enough we could discuss double ingot possibilities. I'm not seeing any line suggesting double ingot right now, but it's worth considering.
-
Imperial? I know some non red&white marbles did show up in Imperial boxes at some point, but I think those were just because they had boxes available for filling.
-
Doesn't sound like a corkscrew. Possibly not even an Akro. Unless it turns out to be an error.
-
The red shows signs of being handgathered but I don't see quite enough of the structure
-
Is it a single blue ribbon?
-
Top would be Jabo or DAS or a related maker. I think the 3rd marble also.
-
I don't see a photo

Akro would have sold that as a Moss Agate. Not a sexy name in modern times, but Akro was especially proud of their Moss Agates.

A new un-named model out of Mega Marbles / Vacor Asst Net Bags?

Unmarked? I wouldn't expect that from Mega/Vacor. Was Mexico given as country of origin? -
I doubt the black stripe was intentional. Looks like a game marble.
-
Solids are rough but Master is a good guess. (It's essentially solid.)
-
That's what I was thinking. The texture seems non-American.
-
West Virginia swirl but I don't know which company. I'm tugged a couple of ways on it.
-
I'm not seeing it. Something seems off to me. Is that a brown marble?
-
What the? White, Green and Teal on a Transparent Green Base Glass?
Steph replied to Knuckle Down's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I would have it with my Vitros -
My first thought was that it looked Akro but at .88 I have to consider Jabo. (Edit: And I'm considering Jabo pretty strongly now.)
-
An MCR is an older marble, from NLR times. I would have this rainbo with my 7-ups.
-
I even like these modern Imperials.

Yeah, if I were a kid who didn't know what I was "supposed" to like, these would be natural to love.
