A nice vintage mix.  Monetary value is impacted by each little ding on the marble.  However, it is still a nice group.

Four marbles?

I think Jabo on #1 and #3. Mineral sphere on #4.

The second marble could also be a Jabo but it has a better defined ribbon than I generally expect on a Jabo, so I am considering other possibilities such as WV swirl or Vacor Old Fashion. 

Welcome!

Oh, what size is it?

I would love to see more of what happens with the blue.  Does the blue seem to go from top to bottom but get squished in the middle? 

If the marble is large enough we could discuss double ingot possibilities. I'm not seeing any line suggesting double ingot right now, but it's worth considering.

I think that Akro is correct--Prizename--no.

Maybe an Imperial?

Marble--On!!

Imperial?  I know some non red&white marbles did show up in Imperial boxes at some point, but I think those were just because they had boxes available for filling.

the blue separates and it kinda looks like 2 spinning patches

 Doesn't sound like a corkscrew.  Possibly not even an Akro.  Unless it turns out to be an error. 

The red shows signs of being handgathered but I don't see quite enough of the structure 

Is it a single blue ribbon?  

Top would be Jabo or DAS or a related maker. 

I think the 3rd marble also.

I don't see a photo 

Vitro to me 

Akro would have sold that as a Moss Agate.  Not a sexy name in modern times, but Akro was especially proud of their Moss Agates. 

Unmarked?  I wouldn't expect that from Mega/Vacor.   Was Mexico given as country of origin?

I doubt the black stripe was intentional.   Looks like a game marble. 

Solids are rough but Master is a good guess.  (It's essentially solid.)

This one is tuff--not Vitro to me--maybe a weird one from over-seas.

Nice images!

Marble--On!!

That's what I was thinking.  The texture seems non-American.  

West Virginia swirl but I don't know which company.  I'm tugged a couple of ways on it. 

Nice! 

I'm not seeing it.     Something seems off to me.  

Is that a brown marble?

I would have it with my Vitros

Aw, that's what it's all about!  ❤️ 

My first thought was that it looked Akro but at .88 I have to consider Jabo.  (Edit: And I'm considering Jabo pretty strongly now.) 

 

An MCR is an older marble, from NLR times. 

I would have this rainbo with my 7-ups.  

Yeah, if I were a kid who didn't know what I was "supposed" to like, these would be natural to love.
