  1. From these pics I'd call the first one Ravenswood. Then you have a brick normally attributed to Akro, and a red/white Alley, and the dark one looks like probably a Ravenswood of some sort, nice well lit clear pics of it and the first marble would be nice, the first is a good marble.
  2. Yes, that is a known Kokomo type. Here's' one
  3. First one yes, second one no.
  4. Looks like a transitional.
  5. The makers had sections the marbles rolled down. If the marble fell between the 1/2" track, it was a 1/2" or maybe reject, if it fell through the 5/8" track, it was a 5/8" marble even though it might have been a bit less. If it didn't, it would go to the 11/16 or 3/4" slot, whichever they had set up, and it would fall through it and be called that size. A .66 marble would have gone to the 11/16" or 3/4" track most likely. Some makers even used the ought system, like double ought (00), and so on. They weren't so precise as we are now with these calipers.

    Mica ?

    Good example to compare with Chad. I agree, th OP doesn't look like mica.
  7. If 5/8", I think possibly SMM A&B run for the first one. if 7/8" or more, then JABO. I think a pulled wonky Pelt for the second.
  8. Agreed, pic #2 gave it away, Akro.
  9. A nice example IMO, white or not. The dark green heavy coverage makes it better than many in my eyes. The smaller size is cool too, I think that in-between size might be harder to find than the 5/8" versions.

    Opinions

    I would think Akro would be the most likely maker because of the seams, the pinkish streak, and the size all combined. Just a best guess.
  11. They have no name that I know of. They've been called rainbos but I think they are NLRs personally. I really like them.
  12. Yes you were. The second one not being an easy one to ID, so good job!
  13. First is a Peltier, no oxblood. Second is a later Ravenswood.
  14. Yeah the sunsets don't come around that often, at least for me. I don't know if they didn't make as many or what. I keep the ones I find, I think they are one of Vacor's better marbles. I've seen them with ribbons in the glass as well as on top. Often mistaken for Master, probably more often than not. I had a guy on the Mainly Master Made Marbles group on facebook trying to sell several like these as Masters. They had the ribbons under the surface some too. He had a whole big batch of them, all brand new looking and that odd peachy coral foreign looking glass in them. The glass on them is off for Master, you can tell something isn't right if you put one in a large group of masters.
  15. Champ is likely IMO, especially if under 5/8".
