I'm not aware of Masters that large in that style. It does look like it could be vintage though. Could it be an Akro?

Champion is a good guess. But I am not able to rule out another maker, such as Alley.

that's a dandy!

Definitely new. Save your money. The bottom left was made this century. Vacor Halloween.

#11 now looks like a Vitro. Maybe from the 1950's. #15 now looks Asian. An uncommon version of the marble style that we call Imperial. I don't have a guess for the decade. Good odds it's after 1970, but I don't know. Jabos often have a U-shaped swirl. Here are some sample pix of Jabos -- at a good reference site: http://joemarbles.com/1Marble Picture Pages/10Jabo/Jabo 001/Jabo, Inc. 1.htm

Hi Jacob, welcome. Looks like you have a mix of new and old. For ID-ing I like to see the seams of a marble, if the marble has seams. We used to have a seam tutorial. I accidentally deleted it. I need to redo that. Putting it on my list now. (In #1, the first view is part of the seam.) I think #1 will turn out to be a hybrid Vitro All-Red. From the 1960's. #10 might turn out to be Akro. From the 1940's. #11 is interesting. I'd like to see more of the ends of the blue patch. It does look vintage. #4 and #5 look almost like Akro corkscrews, from the 1930's, but I suspect they will turn out to be Jabos, from after 1990. #2 might be a West Virginia swirl, but I think it will also turn out to be a Jabo. I think Jabo on #6, 9, 12, 13. Maybe others, such as #7 and #14. I think WV Swirl on #3. (Say, 1930's through 1950's.) #8 might be a modern marble from Asia. #15 looks like it will turn out to be vintage. More views needed.

That would be a fun one to have, sure enough.

Congrats, Jess. That's quite a looker.

interesting orbs, Winnie

Well, that was fun. Gold star for Al!

Are you on facebook?

pretty We do have a coupla members who might be able to pin down dates. I only know a few runs on sight. Those aren't them.

Where in TN?

Popeye ... light blue and light yellow. Next .... furnace chunks!

I know someone in Tennessee who used to collect marbles. I'm not sure if she's still into it. Did you ever know Carole Shockley?

Yes, that's exactly it. Well, I think it collects in a little cup first before it goes to the rollers. .... but we have a lot of people who have seen marbles being made in person. I'm not one of them. Maybe they can add.

fantastic pictures of interesting marbles
