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.

My hope is a couple of those are in great condition, I don't see any damage on a few. Hope they are fabulous....i have a few different pics. I will show much better once I receive them.

 

💕👍

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.

It still looks foreign to me, I don't recognize it as anything American.

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.

I was thinking it might be a Sunset.

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.

I think that might be one of @Steph's favorite Vacors.

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.

I hear there is a jabot Blenko marble run

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.

I'm wondering if this could be a moonie or flintie or whatever else. It's hard to get a good lighted pic because my light is so bright, but when held in front of a softer light it definitely glows more orange. There is a bubble or something inside of it that is catching the color in one of the pics. 1/2"

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.

The eyes are there. It doesn’t glow. What’s the driffence between this Flinty and a Moonie 🔥

Doesn't glow?  Your pictures seem to be showing some fire.  

I think you have a nice early-ish Akro Moonie here.  

Asian in the middle.  Could be Anacortes Vitro on right.  

Agree with master-like seams. 

So could be some combination of Master and Asian.  I have no strong feelings.  I just wanted to say something.  

I'll go with Akro slag on the right.

I think it’s a veneered Vitro like this one🔥

You can guess what  I think this beauty is.  

No cats were harmed in the posting of this message. 

I don't think Vitro on the third. 

That is a vintage Japanese marble.  Sometimes called Wales style.  A big sibling to the single-color game marble which is called the Japanese Pincher.

Is this because they have one seam?

Yes.  Akros can also be single-seamer but I think those are exceptions, not as common as CAC single seamers.

I will say "good chance CAC"

Possibly Peltier on the red.  

I wouldn't jump to modern on the green but I don't even have a "possible" guess for it.
