On my monitor some of the ribbons are showing up as white and some as lavender.   Does this match what you're seeing in hand?

Also, the bottom left has something brownish going on?

Akro Tri-Color Agate

My two thoughts are Alley and Christensen, but this is NOT my specialty.    I am just bumping the thread for you. 

Could be tricks of the light, but the surface gloss and the texture of the white are making me think of Vacor.

DETAILED INFORMATION (billes-en-tete.com)


I'm far from sure about that though.  If vintage, then possibly an Akro slag. 
 

I also think Master on the last one.  

The first one appears to have long seams.  My first thought on the seams was Akro.  The colors don't scream Akro to me, so maybe it's something else, such as Vitro.    Jabo wouldn't be in my top 3 guesses though.

LOL ... never was gonna get that. 

But had fun just now googling it.  

If vintage, then maybe consider Cairo Novelty or Heaton.

Company name:  Akro Tri-Color Agate

Hmmm.  I'm not 100%, but I'm leaning Jabo. 

Thanks for checking in!  We miss you.  Take very good care of you. 

I noticed the missing photos.  But I don't know the answer.  

If you keep being unable to post pix, we will call Jason in.

I am not seeing photos.

Do you know how it was used?

The marbles that are being shot at were sometimes called ducks.

Anyone else taking a shot at the pictograms left unsolved? 🤔

I was being sarcastic. How many factories didn’t make Cats Eyes ? Is there an Akro Cats Eye ? WVS are excluded unless there’s an example. 

Akro was out of production before Cat's Eyes were a known thing in America.  


 

Can we get a corkscrew out of it? 

The name sounds very familiar though I don't remember crossing paths. 

Much too young.  

 

I do think the white one is a Pelt.
 

And the second one looks like a Pelt Root Beer Float.   Which would not be Pre-1970, but still.  



Not familiar with the seller.  Withholding verdict until I learn more. 

I envy people who are bonded with dogs.  

I got to babysit four dogs this past week, making many visits to their home.  I felt like I made three new friends.  The fourth was pretty sad though.  All were glad when they were reunited with their mommy.  

And I went home to snuggle my little kitty girl.  

I'm on the Jabo side.

 

Agree with Imperial.   AKA, modern Asian.  

I'm wondering about Peltier on the far left.  On your second one, the white is solid enough that I wondered about Christensen Agate.  [Edit: but I suspect West Virginia swirl]

I think West Virginia swirl on the marble you have just highlighted.   In spite of the 9, there seems to be a lot of swirling would suggest purely machine-made rather than handgathered.  

I don't have a daily marble station! 
 

I should build one.  


I wonder where.  We have the attic.  The garage.  Got one nice brightly lit place in the attic.  Have a large garage with a woodburning stove.   Could say I want a laundry folding table in the basement, and then could use that for marbles.  

There's always the issue with the cats knocking things off.  

Hmmmm .... 

Jabo sounds right.
