Are the single pictures big ones? Yeah, most if not all Jabo.

Not by itself. UV glass can be old, new or in between. But together with other clues, it can matter.

I don't want to be too much of a pain. The bulletin board resizes your larger pictures, you may have noticed. So if you have a lot of non-marble space around the edges, it can make the actual marbles pretty small. So, for future reference, trimming off the edges could be helpful. Or just moving in on the marbles until more of the viewscreen is filled with marbles to begin with. Okay ... so what do we have here? I think 2nd the left on the bottom row is one of your Akros. The one above it looks similar in coloring, but might be a West Virginia swirl. (I'm leaning strongly to WV swirl on that upper one.) The green one on the top row, second from the left, could possibly be a folded up Akro. Or maybe a Vitro. Or maybe a WV swirl but with a very simplistic pattern. The bottom right is similar. My first thought is WV swirl, but I suppose it's possible it could be an odd patch. WV swirls for the rest.

Too big of a group, too small of views for the marble. And hard to identify which ones we're talking about. That said, the second row on the left appears to be a Peltier Rainbo. So does the marble on the right of the top row. I see at least one of the ones you're thinking could be an Akro Cherry Ade. I agree that at least one of them is Akro -- Row 4. I know that style as Moss Agate. I think it might have more than one possibly collector's name. Maybe some kind of Ade. One person I know might call it a Tomato Ace. I stick with Moss Agate, but I'm in the minority. Not seeing enough to make out anything useful about the green one.

Akro on the green and red patches Do start a new thread which each new group. That will make it easier to get feedback ... and to keep track of the feedback.

Cool box. The marbles are Jabo Classics.

I guess Master on #8. No guesses on the swirls ... other than the general 'maybe Champion" or "maybe Alley" which means nothing.

Yes.

I can't swear it's not CAC. The colors also kinda say Akro, but I don't see signs that this was meant to be a cork.

I think you have a Czech bullet-mold marble there.

Hi. Not green hornets. Looks like modern Marble Kings.

This is what the search engine pulled up about sonic cleaners: Oddly enough I was one who posted about sonic cleaners ... but I was collating advice from others.

I thought about Ravenswood on #5, because I know they did white and blue in clear. But the examples I remembered had been brighter and crisper so I dug out my other sets and the Jackson looked quite close.

It is a beauty, in spite of the dings. Pretty glass there. I don't know maker. I'll move it to the main forum for the marble cleaning discussion.

I'm bragging about this everywhere! To hubby who is still trying to sleep, in email to my brother, on facebook, here, .... I ran three miles! For the first time! My previous best distance was 1.6 miles. Not very fast ... but it turns out from looking at a 5K run website, I'm right in the middle of the pack for the average time a woman of my age would run that distance. So now I have a "personal best" to compete against and I'm so proud of me!

#6 Alley The bright white on #1 makes me wonder about CAC or Ravenswood ... or slag. The larger size on #12 would point me toward Alley, but it's not _too_ large to be a different maker.

Alley on #2. And I have a gut feeling about Alley on #11. I think Pelt on #12. That's a "rainbo" pattern. Maybe Master on #10. Looking through my dug sets, the closest I see to #5 is Jackson. No answer from me on the rest, other than the generic "WV swirl" category. But if I were going to guess the next one I'd take a shot at would be #4 because of the yellow and I'd go Alley. But I'm not guessing. My brain is full.

Found mine. Modern MK, complete with aventurine.

Oooooh ... some beauties. Remove the ball bearings! Don't want to hurt those Akros.

#1 (on the left) and #4 are Peltier Rainbos. #2, 3 and 5 would be WV swirls Correct, #6 is modern Asian

( thought I could quickly put my hands on some of my modern MK's but my reorganizing attempt strikes again. They're not where they were last month. Gotta remember what "smart" place I decided to put them in )

That vane is so thin, and I think I recognize the color as an MK shade. So that's my best guess -- modern MK.

Let's see the other end. Some of the modern MK's are really hard to tell apart from Vitros. (And some resemble Heatons, but that's another story. )

While I gear up to restore Akro pictures to my timeline thread .... here's this news article from 1951. I don't know if the plans were followed through on .....
