  1. Most of these last ones are solidly Marble King. A couple of them are leaning a little more toward a Vitro pattern, but I still think could be MK on all.
  2. The blackish background behind the probable Rooster is probably adding to the overexposed look. A neutral (light to medium) gray background works best as a general rule. That helps cameras not try too much to overcompensate.
  3. I'd say the photos are good enough to be sure. Some views are a bit odd, maybe overexposed. But in total, we're getting some good looks at the marbles.
  4. I am leaning Vacor Rooster on the red and white.
  5. There are some MK's and Akros which do look like Vitro All-Reds. But if it looks enough like an All-Red to make me unsure, then it goes in with the Vitro All-Reds. The odds say Vitro at that point. Well, I do have a box of patches which I've simply given up on so they all live together in harmony. So maybe a fence-sitting All-Red lookalike would go in with that bunch. But yours in this thread are classic Vitro.
  6. 1. Peltier Rainbo 2. Vitro Tiger Eye 3. Possibly Champion 4. More pictures? I am leaning non-American but ??? 5. Vitro 6. Vacor or modern Asian 7. Master? Bogard? Or not American? Vintage though.
  7. West Virginia companies exported a lot of marbles. I've seen some Vitros end up over there which didn't match the usual marbles seen in America. Based on that, I could imagine some interesting Marble Kings being sent over there which didn't necessarily match the typical marbles sold in packaging here.
  8. Beautiful. I am all in on Marble King. Exceptional Rainbow on that top one. Really earns the Rainbow name!
  9. Hate to stir things up if they're considered settled, but at that size, with an indistinct pattern, I would be considering Jabo.
  10. Nifty. I don't know exactly what styles of handmades I've seen photographed with other canes in the core. But I know folks have discovered similar things under their outer layers and shown them off to us. I actually haven't ever checked my handmades for that. I don't have many. It would be a short search.
  11. If Akro then I'm guessing one made near the end of their production time. I could see that based on structure and base glass, though I don't recognize the patch color.
  12. Submarines used to be made in my area ... and then side-launched into Lake Michigan to get to whatever ocean they were supposed to end up in. Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company - Wikipedia
  13. I think not American. Maybe Vacor Old Fashion?
  14. The colors and the base glass texture made me think Peltier. The pattern ... no idea. Wouldn't be too surprised if it did turn out to be MK. But wouldn't be surprised at Akro or Vitro either.
  15. There's good most everywhere, but this is a very nice thing for you to say. Thanks to all who have gotten this place lively again.

    Woody?

    Bahahahaha! Good one! Rick, OP = Original Post in a thread ... or Original Poster who started the thread.
  17. I agree foreign to the U.S. I do love the ones which look really close to something which could be from the U.S. though ... and a nice big size.
