  1. The blue green one would be the only one I would think might be Jabo. And I wouldn't necessarily think it about that. WV swirls on the others.
  2. Left column are Marble Kings. Two vintage and two probably modern. Middle column: Top is Peltier Rainbo. Third down is Vitro Blackie. Right: WV swirl on top and maybe a modern Asian on bottom (or maybe an Akro depending on what the seams look like).
  3. I think #4 is an Alley Ghost. Since #2 and 3 look similar but without the red, maybe they are also Alley. 8 through 10 appear to be more WV swirls.
  4. My only thought is Jabo. Possibly an early 2000's one.
  5. The red white and blue at the top is very pretty. I wish I knew those better.
  6. These could be Peltier multicolor rainbo, Akro cork, wonky Akro cork, and maybe another Akro but would like to see more of the ribbon before I say that
  7. I'm not sure. Thought about that, but the coloring is strange. And I can't tell if that's popeye style filaments or something else. Do you have other popeyes to put it up against?
  8. Welcome. This one is an Akro corkscrew.
  9. My beautiful Ric is here and I'm disagreeing with him on two IDs! What am I doing?!! I would have thought Master here, Ric. I'm not familiar with Akro brushed patches.
  10. I think Vacor Turtle. Which for some reason I wanted to call Ninja Turtle. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=126
  11. P.s. congrats on your Pelt Acme Realer.
  12. I think the one with the green patch is a Vitro Blackie, where it's second green patch is a little thin. Maybe an odd Vitro Conqueror with the lavender.
  13. 12 Akro 6 Maybe Vitro ... but you didn't show many views of it -- that green spot really captivated you, didn't it Same with 4 -- not seeing many views. A lot of photos but not many different parts of the marble. What do the seams look like? For 2 and 3 some of the views look Jabo to me. 7. maybe Alley 9. maybe Champion 10. Champion or Jabo? 11. Jabo? Could be older 8. Transparent swirl 5. One view sure looks Vitro.
  14. I think #1 could be a Peltier Acme Realer. Hold it up to a light -- see if you can see orange in the base as the light comes through from behind. And check the black to see if it has an aventurine shimmer in the sun. The base turning orange and watery would be enough to make me sure this is an Acme Realer. Aventurine in the black would be bonus.
  15. 5. Vitro Conqueror 11. Marble King Maybe Alley on 6. 12. Slag 8. Think the quick answer here is Vitro Whitie, but I don't know if I should be looking at a look-alike instead. 10. Modern Asian 3,4 maybe Akro The structure on 2 resembles 3 and 4 so maybe I should think "maybe Akro" on that one also but the color is making me think more of Vitro.
  16. I see why you might think Master. Because of the long seam, I am leaning Vitro.
  17. It's a semi-regular occurrence. Different chemicals can result in different shades of glow. The most famous is the yellow/green glow from uranium. Manganese can give a red/orange glow. Calcium is connected with an eery blue glow. It's not a sign of age. Very old, mid-range and modern marbles all can glow.
  18. I'll bet a quarter that it's Alley.
  19. Based on size and oxblood, I will suggest Alley.
  20. I Think you have a mix of Modern Marble Kings and a modern foreign. The ones with the two patches of the same color on either side are the modern Marble King.
  21. The marbles on the left are cat's eyes. Those are common. Specifically I think yours are mostly Vitro cage style cat's eyes. From the 1960's to the 1980's. The ones on the right appear to be wirepulls of the kind made by Veiligglas in Amsterdam in the 1950's and 1960's. (There's also a similar more modern style from Vacor de Mexico, but I think these are the older style.) They're not rare, but not nearly as easy to come by as cat's eyes. This is a popular style.
  22. The left marble is a Vitro All-Red, from the 1960's. The middle is modern Asian. The right -- I can't quite see the details I like to see but I think it's likely also modern Asian. The second and fourth marbles are Vacor. This page can help you identify Vacors. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/liste_billes.php
  23. Hi. The top are modern marbles from Asia. Sometimes called Imperial. Lots of different companies might have made them. The Imperial Toy Co. is one of the companies which distributed them in the United States. The bottom are modern marbles from Mexico. Commonly referred to as Vacor. "Vacor de Mexico" was one of the names that the factory which made them operated under.
