"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%

x2, not bifurcated, bifurcated is 2 different colors of base glass ( a between run marble) Peltier Bifurcated Dragon Bee (cross between a red bee and a dragon) Half Yellow base glass and half Green base glass (no av. in this one)

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.

Not seeing Akro

"Welcome to Marble Connection Nate" x2, Seeing Alley here as well -
Anybody remember these Akro corks being called "Poll Parrots ??" before they were named "Lifesavers ??" Having the familiar Red, Green & Yellow colors do you think the marble was named after the Shoe Company or the Bird ?? Personally I like the Old "Poll Parrot" name better but to each their own I guess ?? This or this now this =

"Blood & Bones" this is the old school name I'm used to for these reddish based Akro corks, not that rare, just think it's a kool name so I'm posting it since I haven't heard anyone use the term in quite a while. If you have any other seldom used (Old School) names to submit go for it, a picture to go along w/ the name would much be appreciated LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394556854073?hash=item5bdd6bcf39%3Ag%3AXrQAAOSwQutkMVTe&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=

It looks Vacor to me also, but not Vampire. Vampire has Red splattering ?? I'm @ a Loss as far as a Vacor ID goes ?? It might be Chinese ? Or a messed up Vacor Galaxy ?? I'm gonna have grooves worn in this fence if I'm here much longer !!
