It's a Japanese Mushroom type IMO.

JABO.

Don't worry, we all scratch our heads sometimes no matter how long we've been collecting. This one is tough. I lean Vitro with the one straight and one curved seam.

Yes you are! Nailed it.

No, I showed Ron the furnace burners I found and that's it. We rode through the mountains on his side-by-side today and talked marbles, took my muddy boots out of the car and put them in the sun to dry along with the boards I got from the factory. It was an easy restful day, I slept until after noon lol. 13 hours to drive up here, then 3 days digging in the muck and I was tired. Tomorrow I think we'll be cutting trees, so who knows when I'll wash them but I like to be busy so it's all good.

It was good meeting you and digging with you. Thanks for hanging back when I was stuck in the mud, I was afraid I was about to get stuck at Cairo with no cell signal for the night lol. Got to get the toyota to the dealer and see what went wrong, the cruise never worked after that and the engine light stayed on the whole way back to Ron's.

Tell me how a marble comes from the furnace cutters with only one seam? Impossible... swirl, patch, clearie, solid, I don't care what it is it has two seams if it's machine made.

Even the single seam CACs, if they are machine made, they have 2 seams. It's impossible to have a one seam machine made marble except for the very first gob of glass that comes out when the tank is opened, and that is garbage because the rollers are cold, nothing is working yet. You might only see one seam, but there are two. The marble before it was cut off, there's the one seam, and the cut where the marble in question was made, that's the other. This has both seams at the same place because the ingot folded on itself.

Every machine made marble has 2 seams.

The circled ones are MK, the one with the dot is a NLR Pelt, the one with a circle may be Akro, the one with an X might be a japanese mushroom type, better pics needed to be sure, might not be. The rest are mostly if not all Vitro. The two far right in the middle row could be MK and Akro, not positive.

Vacor sunset IMO. Not a super common marble.

Modern MK.

Master all the way for me. Very nice. Look at the way the colors and striations fade just before the seam in pic 5. That's a tell for Master.

I'd have it in my Kokomos.

The first is a flopped ingot style. It's either JABO or Cairo. The size could go for either. I agree not Vitro, by construction and also the seedy glass. I lean toward JABO but they don't usually have the seedy glass either. Looks a bit too nice glass and tightly folded for what I'd expect from Cairo this size.

Pelt Realer. Neat one.

Heaton Sweet Potato group.

Foreign IMO.

Yes Tiger eye.

That's a swirl and Master didn't make swirls that I know of.

Vacor

Oooh, I'm not Chad and I don't have the marble but I can see that through the blur. It's the only thing that makes sense, I am betting you nailed it. Good job (even if it's not lol).
