  1. There are multiple makers in most all your groups. You've got them sorted well for beginner stages though. Sorting them beyond the level you've gotten them to wil take knowledge and experience. Try posting 3 or 4 from a group that have different characteristics and see how they are IDed, then look in the group for more that match them and sub-divide your groups by that and you'll be well on your way. Nice marbles!
  2. I'm not seeing Cairo or Heaton. I'd put it with my Akros.
  3. Vitro was my thought as well. Cool one.
  4. I agree with Rainbo or tweener era.

    Flinties?

    The fish eye in the flintie is a result of the translucent glass in the center being pinched at the poles where the cutter squeezed the ingot and you can see a bit of what's inside. Break a flintie open and you can see the different glass inside. I've seen flinties in white, tan, green, peach, blue, red, purple, yellow, black, and maybe other colors. But the inside is a translucent maybe opal type glass. To resemble flint, which often has a slight translucence as well. Here is a big flintie broken in half to see the inside (dug at Akro).
  6. February at the beach, come warm up and get some sun and sand!
  7. What kind/model of motors are you using on that Boris?
  8. Yours is CAC Jeff. I don't feel the OPs match yours. I don't mean the jelly nougat, that's a different marble from Pennsboro.
  9. Ron had some similar in his special alley boxes.
  10. Right, JABO for the first and newer MK for the second one. Production run was what JABO made for their normal production. Their normal production consisted of industrial application marbles and also swirls for marketing to toy stores and Walmart, etc... This was one of those. JABO tried to get more for their marbles from Walmart and lost the contract and pretty much closed their doors, but the investor runs saved them from totally closing. Investors (often marble enthusiasts) paid to run marbles and those runs normally lasted a day or two and each run was named.

    5/8 WVS

    Nice looking one. I want to say Ravenswood.
  12. cheese

    2 WVS

    Ravenswood on the first. I guess RW on the second too.
  13. Getting pelt rainbo from it here.
  14. What size? JABO is what I see. But it resembles an Alley taterbug in color.
  15. 15/16" is in the realm for RB floats. But the OP isn't one, it appears to be a Japanese cateye.
  16. A few more BDs. In the group photo are two BDs with another Vitro the same size and same blue base but with a green patch on it instead of the lavender and white. Only one I've seen and was found with a blue devil. Some other neat Vitros in the group pic too.
  17. I agree, not Heaton for sure. It's a slag IMO. Even looks like it could be hand gathered.
  18. Lol I won't get into that. Well... in the glass world, someone could easily call it slag. In the marble world, generally not.
