^^ What Tommy said!

The bottom left was most interesting to me. It's why I hit "follow" yesterday. I was all the way from Akro slag to Jabo in my wondering.

Yeah, that finish stopped me from feeling really great about my Master lean. But if it's foreign it comes from a beautiful family and I want to see some of its close kin.

Yup! I missed that part. Yeah, my eyes went straight to the pic, not the words. And the pic did bear a superficial resemblance to the contours of your marble. So ... yeah.

Also, since you mention hues, which had not factored into my identification, the picture from the book appears to be a white marble with an opaque black patch. Such as this marble: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134538789806 ^^ that seller's title and asking price are highly questionable! LOL. But I liked the photo in my google results and I was in a hurry, and now I have to leave!

I see how you might consider these two views to match: However, the view of your marble is more detailed than the view from the book, and the view of your marble shows what to me appears to be an Akro patch's pattern and cutline.

Welcome!

based on this view, I'm leaning Akro.

Master to me

Vitro Conqueror to me. I've gotten used to the idea that they might not always be colorless inside.

Here's an article from yesterday not on Facebook. https://wvexplorer.com/2023/04/26/marble-king-wv-only-marble-manufacturer-in-us/

💕👍 Glad you have a gr8 nature and took my comment in stride. Fingers crossed.

Need a little more of a hint as to what part of Facebook.

The picture shows considerable damage on the German marbles.

Agreed. And there are Vacor patches without well-publicized names. I wouldn't be surprised if this belonged there. Which would put it in my second favorite category of Vacors.

Yes, they're top drawer.

With that blue, I do not recognize it as a Sunset. But I thought you might have an uncanny memory for an admiring comment I made about someone else's Vacor patches.

Beautiful 1930's Vitros Company name: Tri-Lite. As far as collector's names, I think the top right here is a Superior. I started to say all three were Superiors but I'm not so sure. I think we might have a Buttermilk on the left, maybe on the bottom also, but do wait for someone who actually knows to chime in. Older Vitro Marbles (Tri-Lites) (marbleconnection.com)

I don't recognize it, but if it's a Vacor then yes, it has to be one of my favorites!

Now that that's settled, do we know what the marbles are? And by "we", I mean someone else who is not me.

This is unfamiliar to me. Josh, do you know about such a run? @Nantucketdink

Time spent in wet environments, such as in an aquarium can give marbles a matte finish.

Could that be a hunk of debris inside. The structure isn't swirly so could be Akro. But since I don't see cutlines, I'm not inclined to say more. There were some modern Marble Kings on the small side which got called Akro Moonies. Some were pink, and those are the most recognizable to me. I can't remember if there was white among the modern Marble Kinggs.

Doesn't glow? Your pictures seem to be showing some fire. I think you have a nice early-ish Akro Moonie here.
