Thanks Richard, Akro IMO If it were a Pelt MCS it'd have a transparent base & also not a corkscrew pattern.

Caged divided core if you can see between the colored ribbons in the center, caged solid core if you can't

Is the base glass opaque, transparent or translucent ?? It's the right colors for an Akro cork, I can't really make out the cork pattern though ? Can you backlight or under light it ??

I think you're right Jeremy ?

Have fun Brother !!

Unidentifiable manufacture opaque IMO a gamer ?

German Handmade "Cornhusk" look for the remnants of pontils @ each end of the patch. High $$ if it was in mint shape, still a killer find William

Second one (G&Y) looks like a PPP ?

Not sure about baked on but these were done by Peltier, graphite, supposedly stamped on the still hot glass ?

One of my favorite "wall hanger Curios" full of dug Heaton for this "Sundays Best" I used some Akroware to hold part of the mibs in, 90% of these were mis shapen i.e. footballs, pancakes, double ingot, barbells etc.

Up over $350.oo now w/ still 4 days to go, nice box, can't believe the window is still intact ??

Some Alley flames, just for reference the old standby was 3 now 4 or more points IMHO, all perspective.

x2, agree, seems point to Master for me as well, though it is kinda off ??

Hello Roby, x2, I see Alley as well

Hello Daniel, All machine-made marbles have 2 cut marks(shear marks, sometimes visible sometimes not) where the hot glob of glass was cut (sheared) @ each end coming out of the tank before hitting the rollers to be better shaped into a sphere. Handmades have pontils. Time in the hobby is your best friend, if I was to explain torchmades, contemporary, antique, cane cut, sulphides (single gather) transitional, etc... I would still be hitting keys hours from now. Patience please the slower you learn things hopefully the more engrained & easy to understand it will become, almost 3 decades and I learn something new almost every day. "All" the marbles you have presented are machine-made and have no pontils.

Found a few more Red, White & blue from an old auction In had years ago

Might I suggest a grey or some other neutral colored background or matt, w/ no black, bright or reflective colors or surfaces, it will help the lens to focus on the marble instead of everything else around it, some moderate to bright lighting will help also, I use a 40 w daylight bulb and allow the camera to focus on the glass before snapping the pic eliminating retakes. A bit of trial & error, marbles are probably if not the hardest thing to photograph. Here's a link w/ about the simplest and most effective setup I've seen w/ some incredible results.
