Leaning Pelt Rainbo on #1. Leaning Vitro on #2.

There's a bit of Akro look to these. I want Ricardo Mendoza here to see if he thinks you could have 1960's Vacors. He has shown us they were very colorful and a little bit American looking.

For the ones which are in doubt -- which currently is the vast majority -- I would encourage you not to make rush decisions about them. As we learn more about them, they could turn out to have more recognized value, and you might be sad if you parted with them too soon.

No particular value. It's called a "clearie". Clearies were made by many companies and are practically impossible to ID even if you know they're American. The glow is fun but doesn't give much value to the marble. Jewelry is a good use for it.

That black ribbon is slick.

Thanks for the peek. No id.

Green-based banana as Bogard? I wonder if I will remember that next time I see one similar. I've tended to assume Master on such. I wonder if I already knew better ... the notion of Bogard bananas is starting to maybe sound like something I might have heard of before ....

Here are some pix of marbles from South America: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/7087-marbles-from-south-america

All I can say is they're nice. I don't think they're very new. Those styles were introduced in America in the 1930's. They could have spread to Asia or Europe or South America in later decades. (I just remembered South America. There were some rather American-looking marbles made in Brazil and/or Argentina. I should have remembered it before during our attempts to list all the possible sources for your fascinating marbles.)

You still have some very nice ones. I LOVE this one. The trading idea intrigued me, but I just know myself and know I'm not in a good position to trade.

They're beautiful. I suspect Asian and would guess maybe 1960's. That's a wild guess on the decade. But mostly I'm saying I don't think they are very new.

Those greens on the top row? I understand your uncertainty. I'm gonna go with Akro ... or Vitro. The long straight seams and the shredded look make me think not Master.

I was thinking maybe CAC on the yellow and red. But I don't know for sure on either of the red ones. Beyutiful Pistachio.

agreed

what a treat

*waves at eggie* I don't know if it would be vintage or modern. I could see it going either way. Just saying hi.

I am pretty sure that there were Vitros sold in Europe which look different from what we got here. I seem to recall seeing a labeled Vitro bag which looked foreign. So there's still a possibility of some of the foreign-looking marbles being American ... but I don't know how we could know ... if they weren't the ones we find in packaging here.

Yes, the top one looks like a classic Pelt Rainbo and the yellows are in the gray zone. Could be Pelts. Could be wannabes.

I'll go Akro on both

The colors make me think of the Pelt Tootsie Roll. I hadn't seen the size before now, which could really change things up. But I'm not letting that stop me from mentioning the Tootsie Roll before I step back to the sidelines.

If American, I might think Master for a single vane cat's-eye-like marble with a potato-chip-shaped vane. If not American, no guess.

With the chubby vanes could maybe be Vacor?

Seriously ... you might be sitting on a treasure trove of beautiful Akro-like non-American marbles which are totally foreign to us. You may be our newest source for research into marbles which are abundant in the Netherlands but which we don't know about yet over here.

Same here except I'll pick Pelt as first choice, Vitro second. That bubbly champagne base glass looks so Pelty!

"Broken cork" refers to a Peltier where the ribbons connect in a way that makes it look like a corkscrew. I think you do have an Akro. Let's call it a "messed up cork".
