2nd opinion on the middle? I was with Ric in thinking foreign.

How did you get the emoticon into the title?

Modern Asian

Hiya. At first glance I was thinking glass which had been reworked over a torch. But maybe that was the "abalone" catching my eye. A lot of nice natural looking views on that. I'll guess Alley.

Sure has been awhile. I wondered if your young sportscaster had moved onto other projects. Production has gotten really slick. Nice job. As a collector, it was fun for me to see some older marbles qualified for the tourney. The very vintage Earth 2.0 will be a sentimental favorite for me but I was pleased to see who actually came out first.

Vacors have developed a strong following in the collector community. Not everyone's cup of tea but still many admirers.

I see the pix now!

Oh yeah! Springtime bumblebees!

I think Vacor Wavebreaker here. I just learned the dates on that one yesterday. 1996 to 2010 DETAILED INFORMATION (billes-en-tete.com)

me too

Feels like vitro except for that amber base. But that amber base could just mean extra interesting vitro.

One marble per thread is probably best. For the sake of clear communication. If you take pictures of three or four marbles at a time, where we can easily identify them by saying something like "top" or "left" or "top left", that can work. But one thread per marble is fine! You might get more marbles ID-ed that way.

I don't know any of your marbles! My top two thoughts on this one are Marble King again or Akro.

If vintage then "West Virginia Swirl". But could be a modern marble such as Jabo. ("West Virginia Swirl" is a catch-all ID. There were many companies in West Virginia making swirls in the 30's through 50's and a couple still making swirls after that. Alley and Heaton that I mentioned above were two of the West Virginia companies. Another one was Champion. This has some Champion aspects to it. But it can be really hard to sort the marbles by company and that's why we sometimes just say "WV swirl.")

Another "maybe Vitro or maybe Marble King". This one doesn't have red, so if it turns out to be Vitro it would perhaps be a Tiger Eye rather than an All Red.

You have some odd ones. At first look it could be Master, but having a pair of similar looking ribbons is more like Peltier. And then the glass has a bit of a foreign look to it. I'm leaning non-American right now.

Another "maybe Vitro All Red but seeing Marble King possibilities" marble

I would have made an automatic Alley Agate ID on this one until recently. Now I think I've seen some similar ones ID-ed as Heaton. But I'd still roll it in with my Alleys for now.

This has close to the pattern of a Vitro All Red. However it could be a Marble King. That's assuming it's vintage. Probably put it with your Vitro All Reds for the time being. I think most people would do it that way.

Welcome Dustin. You don't sound like you could ever be bored. What a pain that you had to close shop.

This is what we call and oddball! Vitro? Pelt?

How exciting. *dreaming*

Adore!

I don't think we know the maker. I think it's a modern Asian handmade.

Yes, a brick and I agree with MFC. I've gotten mixed messages about Akro bricks. Now I assume MFC, especially with such a nice 9.
