This looks fun. Saw one of the same brand but in a different style box on ebay and didn't want to link to an active auction. Sport Marbles Playset

Well this is a nice element The artist has more marble run gadgets on his channel ... fun ones

oh yes

Not sure about #4. Not seeing #7 clearly.

But I thought for sure that was your earring. My bad.

Check out these Akros .... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Marbles-Akro-Agate-Special-Lot-Of-3-Very-Old-Antique-Marbles-fantasi-/282459173643 ... with more of kolieclify's text for the description

eBay will get him eventually ... after he has suckered a few people and they've filed for refunds.

You didn't!

<3 Have we seen that one lit up?

The description came from this kolieclify auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Marbles-Akro-Agate-Special-Lot-Of-100-Very-Old-Antique-Marbles-/401314883826

Sometimes white is a color. Sometimes it's not. That helps, doesn't it! To Akro, in the Tri-Color Agates, the three colors could include white. (On the left in the Tri Color line in this picture is a Lifesaver -- yellow, red, green -- the green may be hard for you to see in this particular scan. The rest have white as a color.) Similar with Prize Names. They're "two-color" ... and sometimes one of the colors is white. Popeyes are a different category. They have clear and white and two other colors and we sort of don't count the white as a color there. I can't remember the other examples where we don't count white. They'll probably come to me.

Edit: oh good ... thanks Paul

The first one is sharp. The last one is gorgeous. (The middle ones ain't shabby either. )

I'll go popeye on #1 ... and just leave it at nice tri-color cork on #6.

Yes, they're hooked! That's great, Joe.

Hmmm ... more views on this one might help. I'm leaning toward foreign cat's eye, but other views could change my mind.

Hi there. I think #1 is a foreign cat's eye . #3 is definitely a foreign cat's eye. Probably need to see more views of #2. Little to no value on foreign cat's eyes though sometimes the big ones can be worth a few dollars just by being big.

I think #8 is a "mica". http://marbleconnection.com/topic/22238-mica-marbles/ My first guess for #7 is Vitro. Part of me wonders if it could be a Kokomo though (odds are very low for that).

What's it look like under blacklight?

If Paul is willing, I'd go that route. He has more marbles to compare it to. But I could give it a shot.

Yes. Some pretty ones. Akro Limeade at #9. I'll go Popeye on #3 and #7. And maybe #1? ??? Is that a clear base? Or is that transparent green? Does #6 and any significant amount of clear or is that a pretty solid white?

Put #1, 2, 3, 5 in your basic WV Swirl groups. Vitro Tri-lite on #4. And I'll say Vitro Tri-Lite on #6, but this one looks special. I'm leaning to another Vitro at #9. And then more pics on #7 please.

That flecky one looks handmade. So the question is ... are the flecks mica?

Some pretty 'uns. Eyes when to the Muddy first, and then the interesting ribbon colors on the bottom row and then to that green on the 2nd row! Now I can't take my eyes off that green. That's vivid.
