I agree they are getting harder to find. The price might be worth it if it has good mibs inside. Most or all of mine have later St. Mary's marbles in them, mostly duller ones with tan/cream bases and greys and transparents with a few solids too. Sometimes you find some nice ones in them though.

I see a real nice rainbo in pic 4 at lower left corner. Most in that pic shouldn't be played with.
-
Ravenswood IMO.

Master also sold Akros but that was later on in the 50s after Akro closed. I don't know if they sold them prior to that or not but I think not likely in the early days since Akro was trying to put Master out of business, not help them by selling them marbles.
-
Yes, 1930s. A lot of them back then were around 21/32" instead of 5/8". Not just Master, but other companies too.
-
I remember one similar. Don't have them in hand but it reminds me of them.
-
No problem. These are the early ones that confuse people. Wider seams and often larger marbles during those times.
-
Newer MK I think.
-
Here are some examples. Sorry for the confusion. Early ones looked like Akro (they were Akro employees, so of course they would start off similarly).
-
Today I see the one color is light blue? Last night when I looked, for some reason it looked translucent white (maybe due to lighting being low and monitor turned down). Now that I see light blue I'm going with early Master.
-
Yes.
-
Master.
-
Looks like Akro.

Another cool Vitro Here's a Heaton, the vanes are just loaded AV crystals. Another green Heaton or Bogard in green base And a couple blue/yellow/brown Heatons
-
I like cateyes. especially the pastel Vitros.

Large 1 inch 6 different colors?… I think

I agree with Steph. 2 colors when counting as a marble collector. -
I never heard of any rainbo named "starry sky"? I agree these are Popeye patches from Akro.
-
I've been hearing these called "purple haze" for the past many years.
-
Thanks, I *think*?... almost disturbing that I recognized that. Like maybe I need to back away from the marbles lol.
-
Nice box! Funny, but I noticed by just that little corner in the top left that you have a Kayson's box up there LOL.

Could be a mill ball, a check valve ball, or lots of things. The pump balls would set on a rubber or leather seat and let water flow one direction as it pushes the ball off the seat, but not the other direction, which pushes the ball tight to the seat and seals it.
