  1. Cool. I don't remember seeing black Japanese Pinchers much, if ever. But there you go!
  2. crazy cool picture.
  3. That particular style of game marble is known as a Japanese Pincher. (Edit: The white ones at least. Do the black ones also have the transparent interior?) Maybe from the 1960's.

    Not sure if vintage or modern on top. Vitro All-Red in the middle. (Some hybridization going on there) WV swirl on the bottom.

    "Prize Name" is what Akro ended up naming their basic two-color opaque corks. (There was a contest to name them. But they never got called by the winning name. The contest label stuck. The winning name was "Fire Opal" which was later used on solid color marbles.) The fourth marble in your group has a bit of a Jabo look in some views, and in at least one view it looks like a slag. ????

    3rd a Pelt ?

    1. Akro 2. I mostly want to say Akro. But lots of others thoughts passed through my mind, including Master and even Peltier. 3. If it is American, I would consider Vitro or Peltier. The shade of blue makes me think of a Vitro Whitie. But I'm not sure it's American.

    I'm leaning Akro on the bottom. And I am about 50-50 on Vitro or Akro on top.
  12. Right now I'm leaning Vitro on both. The top has a bit of Akro feel but it looks like the colors are running deeper and more transparently than I would expect in Akro. So I'm going Vitro.

    You could be correct about the red striped one being German. I wouldn't call it "transparent" though.
  14. Would be better to start another thread with the second group but at first glance, the second group looks like a mix of modern Vacor and vintage Peltier. Maybe others.

    They mostly look vintage American to me. 1. I'll go Master 2. Maybe Akro but I'm not committed to that at all 3. Akro or Vitro or Master? Sorry! Not a lot of help. There's some chance that marbles imported to European countries by American companies could look a little different from the standard varieties sold in America during mid-1900's.

    The top _might_ be a Veiligglas wirepull, made in Amsterdam. I am leaning Akro on the other two.
  17. ???? I see why you say Pelt. Some views look that way. But I can't make sense of the total picture. If it weren't right at 5/8" I'd be wondering if it was a double ingot.

    This one has a non-American look to it. It probably deserves it's own thread to figure out how new or old it might be.

    Hi. And welcome again. It's hard to keep track of which marbles are being identified with so many pictures in a thread. Don't be shy about starting multiple threads. But I'll give some of these a shot.

    Two too ID

    I think Vitro also on that second one. I see why Akro would occur to someone, and I keep my eyes out for Akro Tri-Color patch possibilities. But I think Vitro here.
