"Welcome to Marble Connection Brian" Cane cut Handmade Germans The large one might be German as well but I'm leaning more to contemporary @ this point, the rest appear to be machine mades from several different manufacturers, Peltier, Vitro, looks like a couple Akro and @ least one slag. There are some others but can't make a positive from one single view. Just guessing but this one (from what I can see of it) appears to be a clay marble (called a Bennington ?) Some more closeup and in depth pix w/ 3 or 4 different views of each marble showing any seams if possible are needed for a concise ID. & evaluation. Size can play a large roll also, measurements in fractions of an inch are best. Others will stop by w/ more ID's for ya, condition is 99% of value, rarity taking the other 1%

Akro, along w/ the other early hand gathered slags almost all had a 9 pattern and weare indistinguishable from many of the other early producers, they look very similar since they were made in exactly the same manner. MFC is a little more prominent 9 pattern and the glass itself is somewhat different. I'm not a slag expert, just going by the little I know on them.

Process of elimination has me leaning Akro on the 3 slags, "yes"

Just wondering where the term "puce" swirls came from ?? Never heard it before & can't find it anywhere ?? The link is for Joe Streets old ID site he built on for years before he passed. We keep the link here for provenance and as a remembrance of Joe, not counting the continuing accuracy of his ID's.

Here's my printers drawer, I went for the maximum storage look, I had to tilt it quite a bit and raise it a good ways up on the wall away from prying fingers, I've sold it since, went to curios instead ... ..... now I use gallons of glass cleaner to wash off fingerprints .....

Yeah buddy, them drizzles are the fershizzle !! -
First is looking like a swirl and no clue on the second. 4 good clear shots of each marble from every view (each side) including the seams if present will help immensely in the ID process if you have a way to measure them in fractions of an inch (if possible) that can also be another helpful ID marker.
