That is such great news. .... but 72 staples .... wow ... one time I about had a fit trying to let a nurse remove two stitches from my pinkie ...... I would need anesthesia for the removal of 72 staples.

Vacor Galaxies sometimes have things inside. I don't know if the Galaxy is the right style name here. I expect something more paint looking with the color on a Galaxy. But yes, have seen such things as cat's eyes inside Galaxies.

From here it looks like it could be an Akro cork with accidental oxblood.

Nice number of twists.

I'll say Alley.

Phone number 737! Love it.

Great news! Good luck on Wednesday! Get you some food!

Modern MK. Small pink. Much fire inside. Sometimes are assumed to be Akro Moonies.

I think these are Vacor de Mexico. My answer is based on the sometimes sharp vanes and sometimes seeing more than four vane. It's the crystal clear base glass which makes me choose Vacor rather than Asian.

I've been looking at the bottle tonight and wondering whether to open or not! It being lychee made me decide ... not yet. Never had lychee and am a bit wary about exotic fruit flavors. I shall wait at least until I get a second bottle. Then I will take a chance and taste it.

The legendary Andy Davis of the Davis dynasty of marble makers and glass workers has passed away at age 95, Linda Moore Simmons has announced on Facebook.

I would keep it with the Akros for awhile and see if it feels at home.

On the possible Conqueror, I'm saying "maybe" because it looks like a 1940's Conqueror with a little extra shading or a slightly later Bullseye with a somewhat faint ribbon. Anyway, 1940's or 1950's.

The knobbly ones are modern and not made in America. Asian or Mexican. The little blue one is a game marble. Many companies made them over many decades. The other two are Vitro Agate. Looks like a Vitro Trilite, from the 1930's. And then maybe a Vitro Conqueror, which would be from the 1940's.

The first thought that flitted through my mind was the utterly ridiculous "Peltier First or Second Run". Did they even get that big? The second thought was that your Vitro thoughts are quite reasonable. The third thought was "Akro".

Gorgeous Peltier Rainbo on the left. Vitro Superior on the right.

I too am leaning CAC but slags are not my strong suit.

I'm inclined toward Marble King.

Thinking Jabo.

OMG ... that fanny pack ..... lololol I learned how to use the selfie feature of my cellphone camera! Woohoo. I like this picture. It can serve my avatar and getting-to-know-you needs for at least a few years. And behind me is the collage that hubby made of all the cats who have been in our family for the past 30 years. ❤️ Right now my marble project is to sort the marbles in my attic. I keep finding marbles that I have put on my wishlist at various times and didn't remember that I already had. Last weekend I stayed up until 5 on Sunday morning sorting marbles! That was a major nostalgia trip back to the late night marble sorts from ten years ago. It's not something I can afford to do again any time soon, but it was nice to feel the old excitement for a bit.

Wow. OMG. Such heavy news. What a great attitude you have. Prayers!

I got one today in my small Wisconsin town neighborhood grocery store. "Fun Marble Drink"

I'm with "Great Sunburst".

Best guess based on a bit of swirliness visible, and on the presence of a bar code, I think the choices are: Champion, Bogard, or Jabo. Or an unknown manufacturer which had a marble machine for industrial purposes and provided slingshot marbles as a side venture.

I thought about Jabo, and if it had been .93 rather than .63 for the measurement, I wouldn't have hesitated to say so. But since it was .63 I decided it would be best to wait for different photos before I said any names.
