I agree with Steph on these, all three look like newer glass !! Not sure on the manufacture ??

They look to be mostly Asian made Imperials, possibly ?? a few Vacor de Mexico in the mix ??

I use Avast on my PC now, their pay edition has stopped everything that I know of and alerts you if you have become vulnerable. No complaints thus far, everything is running like lightning. Avast does have a free app. but this year I only paid $20.00 instead of the standard $60.00, had it for the past 3 years & I'm very satisfied.

"Welcome to Marble Connection Alicia" Nice bunch of marbles !! You're in te right place. Many knowledgeable people here ready to give ya a hand. Yes as Steph said a nice mixture, Vintage & a few Antique Handmades I can see already, jump in anytime, anxious to see your pix. "Please" post your marbles about 3 at a time, I know it seems rather arduous but it will give you a more accurate I.D. and save a lot of time reposting. Also please include the size in fractions if possible, decimals if not, a cheap pair of calipers will pay for themselves in minutes, about 3 or 4 bucks for a plastic set, and at least 3 to 4 different views i.e. top, bottom and one of each side for any condition issues "Thank You" these things will make it much easier for you and anyone trying to help ya out !! These are the ones I use, get em at the local "Harbor Freight" store, plastic is best, the metal ones will sometimes scratch your marbles. "Have Fun"

I've never done it before & had no idea how to even use one till yesterday. This is one of a very few there was no signing into or anything. I've found anything you have to sign into, sooner or later your Email gets clogged with continual want to buy or subscribe posts. So I found one that didn't. I'm not aware of what the others do, I've never signed into one. The few times I did sign into something was enough for me, I spent 10 minutes deleting garbage Emails every day. Guess I'm kinda virus paranoid after getting Ransome ware about 3 years ago, they never got any financials but left a terrible mess, I spent almost 5 months cleaning all the bugs out and putting everything back where it belonged. I pay $60.00 dollars a year now for an antivirus & malware app.

Definitely marble that's for sure !!

Lookin good William better swoop on anymore nice display cabinets like those, I fear they will soon be full then and more = pretty soon you'll be like lookin for more !!

Yesterday I was wondering about all the collage pix I was seeing everywhere & decided to do a little looking. Man there's hundreds of them, almost all free. Here are my first couple attempts using pics from my folders. If you use one please leave a link & or share your examples. I like the one I'm using, but don't like the white lines used to separate the pix. Here's the link & my first attempts at using one of these sites. I just noticed some of the very fine detail is a little fuzzy, so maybe I'll try another ?? LINK : https://www.befunky.com/features/collage-maker/

x 2, Alley, looks like part of the Blush line

Game marbles my guess

You're welcome

Yeah Buddy that first one is Sweeeeet !!

x 2, Agree with Ric on the first one, Akro Life Saver

Man, we all missed Akro Friday !! I can't believe it, oh well better late tan never I guess ?? One of the shelves in my new wall mount, mostly Akro, some oxblood Akro ware a couple supermen, some milkies, limeade patch etc.... you get the idea. Scored some really nice Akro ware pieces yesterday I can't wait to share next week same bat place same bat channel. Watch for the Akro-bat

I guess that answered that, next time my back & neck start to get sore from diggin for provenance I know who to get ahold of. Cool vid Jason, thanks for postin it !!

Nice Imperial William, Yes I have the exact same red slag pitcher but a first for me on the other piece, man the lid is killer, I really like imperials stuff from the 50''s & back, nice, thick, very well made, I'm diggin it !! Not Akro, "But" smokin deal !!

I agree Ron, that's why I started this thread in the first place so I could put aside any assumption's or things I've heard. Until some other as yet unknown provenance is found. I've never seen a "handmade" hollow steelie or seen any provenance on one. Solid ball bearings were sold as marbles "yes" but bought by marble companies from a ball bearing manufacturer, then packaged and sold as marbles. So glad I opened this Wait !! maybe those aren't worms ?? Never seen purple ones with mouths ?? We may be in trouble this time, they look carnivorous !!

Looks like a banded solid core ?? I can't see any separation in the center from these pics anyway ! If you look real close & see any separation between the blue core and white strands then a tri level banded solid core. All I can make out from this pic Joep

Already got this one, divided ribbon core

Divided ribbon core

Wouldn't surprise a bit Ric, always something new popping up. If they did, sooner or later the provenance will show up.

Modern version looks kinda evil, or should say evel !! Beep Beep !!

"Thank you"

Seen them a lot, I worked in a nuclear engine room in the Navy. I was on the USS Enterprise a nuclear powered Carrier, and worked in the engine room with a rating of Machinist Mate. 4 engine rooms with 2 reactors in each engine room. Agreed a great sign for your mib display. Marble looks more like MK instead of a Rainbo ??

Me too, Ric, I tried a search but nothing turned up. I think in some of the older pinball type Wolverine games had them ??
