Georgeous. 1978?! How wonderful you could turn this whimsical art into a lifetime. Welcome!

Yes, Anacortes sounds right.

Especially pretty

The top is for sure an Akro. I don't know any name for it though. I believe the second to also be an Akro, again with no name that I know. The last marble looks Master. I also expect that many would call that one a Sunburst. I don't call it that, but I understand the custom. (I just call them Master because by the end of the 1930's, the Master production didn't really match the catalog descriptions for the names they introduced in 1930. But in a world which needs names, I can't complain when people try to fit them into the pigeonhole they think comes closest. And Master kept using the names but I don't think even they cared what went in which box in later years.)

Yes, these are the newer, made from the late 30's to the 60's (not certain of last decade). These are Rainbos. The NLRs -- National Line Rainbos -- were from the late 20's to mid 30's. Your particular Rainbos are are called Sunsets. At least the second one is.

Here is a 3-way Japanese cross-through Murray Long posted. Here are some of my Americans. Some have cleaner cross-throughs than others. I don't know if the 4-color one is considered a cross-through. I suppose the top left wouldn't either. But I still wanted it for my St Marys group shot.

I am not certain who made it, but I am leaning American. Not what we call a cross-through. "Cross-throughs" have two or more distinct colors. The "cross through" part is about how the colors are arranged.

Believe it or not, when Akro sold them Akro called them Moss Agates.

The lavendar based ones were made by Jabo, sometime between 1991 and 2007.

That's a far reaching blacklight. What do you use?

Chalindaville!

Without packaging or other provenance it can be difficult to tell which decade the cage-style cats came from. The Parkersburg location was making cage style cats from the 1960s to 1989. Anacortes only had a small time to operate -- 1989 to 1992. So odds are Parkersburg for most loose cages. There's something romantic about the name Anacortes, isn't there. We want marbles to be that even though that actually means they're more modern. ( :

Art could be correct, but my first thought was actually Akro Cornelian. *wishful thinking*

Did you mean to include a photo or link?

Not seeing Pelt on first. Could it be Akro?

Not sure on the right. Will wait for other answers.

That said, I am seeing Vitro Superior on the left, a different type of tri-lite

For a time it was thought that Akro made helmets. Now helmets are known to be Vitro. They are in fact a type of Tri-lite.

I miss Mike Barton.

I went to the Argentina ebay and looked up Huracán canicas. No luck! But wouldn't it have been cool.

Thanks, Chuck! And good call, Charlie.

Better now?

Jabo is a good choice.

Well, it means it's not the Alley style that I was picturing. So now I await the verdict on whether it is a Jackson.

Heh ... a white ribbon on that dark base? I thought black on white base. I really missed this one!
