This is his mark as exhibited on his homepage "CF" Carl Fisher, a lot smaller on his marbles, this one is exaggerated. Here's the size of his mark on an actual marble he made

Yes, this one may be an Akro cork but the UV reaction in it will have no bearing on value in this case. AS said there are certain Akro, Alley and a few other manufacturers that have marbles where uv. reaction is a requirement to qualify them as being the type they are labeled as. But uv reactions in whole have little bearing in changing the value of common marbles, they made them by the millions.

West Virginia Swirl, not positive on manufacture IMO Slag, best guess would be Akro IMO Leaning Peltier Rainbo on this one -

No pontils, all 3 are machine made -
The game of "Skip Ball" for this "Sunday's Best" the smell of cotton candy and beer sausages always flows through my mind when I play this game, a miniature of what I played as a kid at the fair. 100% functional, ball return, score keeper and built to last another lifetime.

Some nice big Popeyes Man !!

I think you may be right ?? @Nantucketdink will know for sure, hopefully he'll chime in on this one ??
-
Ah, I forgot to post the link, here it is ; brain freeze man !!! Mine is very similar to yours, a darker green base type av than Melissa's.

We have 2 types of solid av mibs common to the US also not a positive ID. Champion or Master are suspect. No ideas on yours Brother, from where did you acquire them ?? We just had a discussion here. Take a look Brother, Melissa's is suspect for Champion, and the one I have is suspect for Master. Chuck @cheese posted some like Melissa's sometime back on AAM as maybe being Alley which I agree w/. No provenance as of yet, maybe Chuck will see this post and have something to add ??

This one ?? Not my marble, one of Terry's, but the exact same color combo & just like the only one I ever had. In hand I could tell ya 100 on your OP but ??

x2, agree w/ Steph on the ID's. Every company made UV marbles (glowers) a few are worth a bit of money the rest just, well "Glow" or react to uv. a good portion of Jabo marbles glow and it has no bearing on the value. If you go vintage as in Akro (Lemonade-Limeade-Cherryade, etc) some have quite a bit of $$. Glowing as Steph said, can depend on several chemical additives besides depleted uranium. Please, if you can post multiple views of each marble it would really help in a more concise ID. and value assessment.

x2, leaning foreign here also

A real "Mister Twister" .....

x2, Looks like a big Akro cork to me

Not 100, I want it to be but I'd say, no ox Brother

NIce corks Tommy

If I was selling a $400.00 marble V.S a $14.00 marble I'd definitely know the difference before I put it up for sale. "Good work Melissa" caution is always the better side of discretion 99.9% 0f the time, but sometimes you get lucky ??

There are some Christensen in this bunch, the three blue (Turquoise) base ones, I believe the rest are Alley. I also believe the "Seller" knows exactly what they have.
