Alox? Marble--On!!

This one is a Vitro--a "Conqueror". Marble--On!!

Well, you have some great "Providence" here. Why even ask? I agree. Marble--On!!

It takes some time and a lot of marbles to pass through your fingers my marble collecting friend. I am not too hesitant to call this one a Vitro "Hybrid" cats eye (a collectors name). As you collect, you will find many of these in many color combinations. They are a very nice Cats eye that include some nice clear base glass along with a multitude of colors involved. You keep on collecting my friend and keep posting here for any answers that you may need. You posted some great images--keep it up! Marble--On!!

Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Very nice indeed! Marble--On!!

I see maybe ten marbles here with any worth. You have to take these images and blow them up on an image program. Fix them and make them clearer to see. Those "gooseberry" type marbles are cool and the "Sulpide" is hard to determine. The white and gold may be a Lutz--may be---It reminds me of a Vacor "Atmosphere". Condition is every thing! "In hand" is always better. Given the images--I would pass. Marble--On!!

Imperials were a class of marbles that is hard to define because they were made in so many different countries. Imperial was just a newer age "Jobber" or one that purchased from a variety of makers worldwide, renamed them "Imperial" and sold them under the "Imperial" name. Imperial never made their own marbles. This marble is just a special one and I can agree that it is an earlier version--70"s sounds right here. Marble--On!!

This is a nice marble. The white that spreads out is a hard thing to define here. I am used to seeing it in Marble Kings and Vitros--not Masters. I have a feeling that it has to do with the annealing process--but this is just a tought. Perhaps @cheese has some thoughts to share here. Marblew--On!!

X3--Nice one!

I agree with Vitro for sure. This one wanted to be a "Parrot"--it just fell short of a color. Stuff happens in the factory that cannot always be explained here or anywere. Nice marble--great ask! Marble--On!!

There are quite a few "Patch Types"--Akro Vs Master Made that look quite similiar. The colors match up quite well and it really comes down to the cutlines sometimes. The left one is an Akro with classic Akro Cutlines and the second is a Master Made Marble with classic Master Made Cutlines. This is of course--my humble opinion and I hope to see some more input. Marble--On!!

I agree with Twister. Did you grease this one up? If not--just a superior finish on this one. Marble--On!!

I agree with Vacor here--nice marbles! Marble--On!!

Image #9 at eight o-clock, the inside one--This one should show pontils. The rest are a nice mix of older "Machine Made" marbles which will not show pontils. I see one Akro Corkscrew that I have not seen before--luve it! Image #17. Thanks for sharing these-- and--- Marble--On!!
