Hello. Welcome. I'm going with all modern. Some Asian. And probably also some Mexican. The most well known Mexican manufacturer is Vacor, also known as Glasfirma. They have been marketed under the name Mega at least in the U.S. I have a Canadian package with Vacors distributed under the Montrose brand. I don't know the names of any of the Asian companies which made those types. Maybe someone does, but I think the Asian marbles tend to come to North America without much branding. Edit: Oh duh, many of the Asian marbles were distributed by the Imperial Toy Co. That's why you will often hear modern Asian marbles being called Imperials.

Is the purple handgathered? That wouldn't stop it from being Akro, but it does make me pause.

Hi. Welcome. The marbles from that era were handgathered. Handgathered marbles have a distinct pattern, which does take time to learn to recognize.

One more consideration is the context of where it was found -- in Canada, right?, and which marbles it was found with.

I agree it's unusual. I'm not feeling Akro. Not a swirl to me. Closer to a patch. If it were a German version, I guess it might be "striped opaque." But I don't have a guess for maker.

Welcome. Beautiful marbles. That's a run that I hadn't previously heard of. Now I've read a little about it.

Hello friend! Wanted to get you all approved and say hi. Gotta run now but will be back soon to love on your marbles.

Hiya Nancie!

Hello. Welcome. Yes, a well-known name. I have at least one of his books. Thank you for visiting us.

The middle one sure has the CAC look

LOL ... you guys are cute

Oh, I almost missed this, Stan. Email sent.

Love it all. Great information. Sweet marbles. You are going to miss Standing Stone so much, aren't you. I wish I could get out there to Rolley Hole. Maybe some day. Maybe you'll be there visiting. Or retire there.

More pix please, plus the size. Plus, can you confirm the color? Your title says white but the photos look blue.

Let's at least think about Akro.

Guys ... I don't see Marble King here.

A 4th of July baby! Happy birthday!

Welcome. My bucket list has exactly one item on it -- visit Canada.

following ....

So impressed. My neighbor is trying to get me interested in non-vegetable plants. She gave me a hosta. We'll see how it goes!

Hello. Welcome. It appears to be a machine-made marble. _Could_ be mid-1900's. Could be later. More pictures may help get an ID. The larger size narrows our choices, so there's a fair chance of getting an ID with a few more clues.

Love! How awesome that you're doing this. How satisfying that must be.

Also, I am seeing a Master "potato chip" shape in yours. So that's where my vote is right now.

Some early Masters ... yours has the right colors ... if I look really hard for the blue
