If they would just put the company names on the marbles, this would be so much easier. AND boring!

Good question Ric, I went and dug my box with Kokos out and found about 25 with that type base. They all have at least some UV reaction, although my UV light is quite strong. Some not as noticeably but there is some reaction.

The lipstick red is the most recognizable but they vary from orange to red to darker red, maybe the color was changing as it hit different temps or variations in different runs of the same colors? I don't know.

My thoughts too!

Not to be contrary but I'm with Master, especially because of the second pic where the colors fade away before the cut. That's a strong indicator for Master and not seen often (if ever?) on Akros.

Green and yellow without red are called girlscouts, john deeres, or lemon limes, depending on the configuration and glass, but not dragons.

I agree

Cool Sunburst.

I have some of these, they are nice rainbos, later than the NLRs. Good looking ones though, no name.

I'd keep that with the Ravenswoods Joe. I like it!

Yes, somewhat. The difference in the Honey Biscuit being that it's actually colorless clear with transparent honey colored ribbons and white ribbons. That honey ribbon also being transparent makes it look like the entire base is that amber color but it's not. Here's a pic that shows the three different glass types in the Honey Biscuit. You may already know this but I've seen several other collectors (mainly on Facebook) calling amber based/white ribbon marbles Honey Biscuits, so I thought I'd mention the difference. One cool part is that the honey ribbon is full of bubbles while the clear part has few.

Kokomo for both right ones. Need better pics of the left ones, it's possible. I think lower left likely isn't but won't say for sure without seeing it better.

Agreed on likely Heaton. I found a few of these and I remember noting that the way the white hits a bluish hue, it puts Ravenswood to mind.

I think Akro did make this color combo with oxblood. This one doesn't show signs of being torched so far. If it's real, it's a very good one. Scott Patrick was one who made these. More on the topic here: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2387&hilit=oxblood+popeye

No, in modern times. It's been several years and I don't know who was doing it but someone was. I've seen their altered popeyes. They were selling for top dollar as real but they were torch worked. Yes, one at a time, carefully adding the color to the existing popeye marble.

The marble in the last pics is a Popeye IMO but I would be wary of the black and oxblood. Good, well-lit, clear photos are needed. The was a torch worker adding the black and oxblood to these popeyes years ago and getting premiums for them. The torchwork is fairly obvious upon close inspection. If this is an un-tampered with popeye, it is worth some pretty good money.

Trilite

Trilite

Trilite era Vitro.

Your description of the different Akro "helmets" sounds to me like Akro patches. Not called helmets, although helmets fall within the patch type marbles. The ones shown above are patches. Years ago it was thought and published that Akro made the helmets. As time and information came along, it was proven that Vitro, instead, made the helmets. Then some folks contended that Akro and Vitro both made them and they were trying to differentiate which was which but Vitro made the helmets. This terminology may be a leftover vestige of that timeframe, I don't know.

Just Rainbo IMO.

Neon conquerors. The big one is the one you will find normally. The 3/4" and 5/8" are very rare. All are on a transparent dark green swampwater base glass.

Agreed, Rare Solar Flare, and two Akros.

Kokomo for the last two in the first pic.

Marble manufacturers used fractions of an inch or the "ought" system. So it's what we use. Pretty much everything was measured in fractions of an inch here until 50 years ago or so. Now people are getting used to millimeters but many older collectors are not. I can visualize and cross either in my mind, so I don't mind but I prefer fractions. I think your new one you ordered is going to do decimals instead of fractions, so you will still lose a lot of people.
