Beautiful marbles. I am sure those with more experience will comment soon but here are my thoughts: 1. Could be a wonky Pelt, could also be Akro 2. Beautiful Akro Corkscrew 3. I believe that is an Akro Oxblood Cork 4. potentially CAC, but could be Alley, wait for opinions 5. If Akro is a wonderful multi color corkscrew. Do not know if there are some modern reproductions that this could be, but I hope it is an awesome Akro

Yip, Vacor Dragon on the first and I think it is a Twister on the second
-
1 and 5/8th Big Mega Marble Boulder. Need a name to fit it. Thanks
Alta replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Closest I can get is an 'Ice' with an extra swirl (dark brown/black) mixed in.. Very nice marble! -
If it has a very light pink champagne colour I believe it is a Vacor Medusa Jellyfish
-
I want to go out on a limb and say even though the buttcrack is there, this is not a Jabo. Glass seems older. Maybe an old Japanese import? Wait for more opinions please!
-
This is such a cool one. I feel Akro on the Yellow half and Master on the brown. No help at all, sorry!
-
Does it have an iridescent surface? If so it is Vacor. I will look up the name later, cannot recall right now
-
It has me stumped as well. No Vacors with frit that has swirls like those as far as I know...
-
I believe that it is not the size that makes us question if it is a CAC or not, it is the pattern itself. As mentioned earlier there are CAC slags of that size...

I am on the other side of Canada - Victoria BC. In shops here if they have marbles it is usually modern Vacor and Imperial. Once in a while there may be some Older Japanese Transitionals, German Slags and others along that sort. Most of my vintage marbles have been online buys, however they have been overwhelmingly Canadian buys from the East Coast, in these there has been many more Japanese Transitionals, Good number of slags from many different makers (although not a single Pelt slag yet) Japanese Figure 8's and Pincers a fair number of WVS (Mostly Alleys and Champs, but some RW), older Imperials and a fair amount of common Vitros, MKs and Pelts- although these I do not come by all that often. Also a good amount of cross through cat's eye marbles from Japan, which are apparently harder to find down South.

Agreed that this one looks German. But to answer the question, I have a likely CAC striped slag that is 0.82 so it is possible at that size.
-
Afaik Vitro did not make Swirls in the traditional sense, but I am struggling to see the seams on this one so it could be a weirdly twisted up Vitro. However, I would put my hat in the RW camp on this one. Let's hope some other people may comment too..
-
I am leaning RW here..
-
-
I think Vitro. Wait for those with more experience to confirm!
-
I would not be surprised if it is drizzle either 🙂
-
Yip - it is very much opaque so definitely not a slag. However I tried to capture the tail here in these three photos, sorry for the poor lighting did not feel like setting up the light box right now, but can do so later if needed. I believe this is the start of the tail End of the tail Another angle of the start

Thank you Cheese! Appreciate your input on this one.
-
I love the colour contrast on this one!

Not sure on this one, initially thought it may be modern/Jabo, but could be older based on the mibs it came with

This one has been one of my prize finds this year. After some deliberation on a different platform it was said to be likely Japanese Transitional but could be a few options. The provenance does not help as it was in a large mixed lot with fair amount of Japanese as well as American vintage marbles. More opinions would be appreciated. I love the vibrant colours
