  1. Lets call in @Melissa here. She is a master of Vitro and MK. I am calling this one a Vitro--no name. Marble--On!!
  2. I would consider Vacor here--A "Black Panther". Marble--On!!
  3. Truefully--I think that this one is a "practice marble" from a "polisher". This is an Akro Slag that has been decimated imho. I just hate this stuff. Nice share--still pissed though. I just hate polished machine mades that are passed as relics. Great share though😁. Marble--On!!
  4. Nice marble--too bad, soooooo--- sad--this one has been "buffed" imho. I just hate this stuff! Marble--On!!
  5. These are both 3/4" in my book. The first one is a nce Alley Agate and the second one is a nice Akro Cork--this one may be named ( Superman?). Oh well, I am not really into names and I am glad--it takes some brain power just to remember the makers. Nice marbles non-the-less! Marble--On!!
  6. I would call it a 3/4" Akro slag--Purple imho. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  7. Nice Marble!! Marble--On!!
  8. Good question here SequoiaBET. “Slags” are a combined process where the two colors of glass are combined from the start from the furnace or in the old pots that hand-gathered marbles came from. Most “Machine Made” “Swirls” are a two (or many more) stage process where one color meets another just before it is cut-off onto the rollers. To really get an idea of this, you would have to study the machines and how they worked. I have and it has helped me with my ID of marbles greatly—finding out how they were made by what machine. This is intense stuff and it will blow you away once you start to research it. I encourage you to do so along with the rest of the marble collecting community that we all belong to. When I say that “I just love this stuff” I mean it. I have been down the “Rabbit’s Hole” for weeks on end researching marbles and the machinery that made them. (I spent a lot less on marbles while doing this and gained a whole bunch of knowledge that I am here to give away) When I get locked on to a subject, I was/still am, like a virtual or book weirdo, just sucking in the info that I could/still find. I just love this stuff, Really I do!!! Marble—On!!
  9. If you want a proper ID show all four sides of the orb. Marble--On!!
  10. This type alway made me wonder--from Vacor. The frosted/tumbled types from Vacor always seem to be very well covered. Marble--On!!
  11. I think that you have two Vacor "Dragons" here. Nice marbles! Nice share here---I know how hard it is to shoot two different sized marbles together and get a good focus on either one. You keep on trying and expect better/more opinions. Marble--On!!
  12. The last one is questionable--the top two would be Alley as far as I am concerned. The first one is a "Lady" of some sort imho. The second one is appears to have some Oxblood-- it is pretty cool to find any WVS with Ox involved. The last one could be an Alley but clear glass in Alleys is not easy to find-- I see the light purple here--I am on the fence here and it hurts. It could be a low bucks "Lady" of some sort. Marble--On!!
  13. Stop it right here! . Wolf, Start a new thread for each marble and expect better results for an ID. Marble--On!!
  14. What Chad says X2!! Marble--On!!
  15. I am thinking Jabo here. Marble--On!!
