    I agree x2. The Vitro is more than likely an "Aqua Marine" that saw some good play and fire damage as well. I may be dreaming here but--the older "Furnace repair" folks often found marbles in the burner area of the furnace. Kids would roll these little orbs down the "cold air return" until they heard a "clunk". I was one of those kids. Marble--On!!

    X3--Nice ones though. The first one is a varient of a Vitro "Conqueror" and the second one is a Vitro "Tiger Eye". These Vitro "Tiger Eyes" came in a variety of colors and mixes along with a few different styles from years past. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  4. Yes, I tried A.I. on a few marbles. I am not worried--it asked me to teach it . I declined that request but I am sure that many folks will be lured in--here we go!! Marble ID fights against computers--what a drag! My computer is a tool for me and I do not teach my Table Saw anything--it teaches me---keep you fingers away from the blade-lol. Just rambling--on here--sorry--- Marble--On!!

    Akro vs Vitro--hmmm? Very close call for sure. I am just going by the colors here--Vitro--a nice older model--no names from me. I respect all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

    X3--- Vitro "Conqueror" and Peltier "Rainbo". There is no 'W' in the Peltier type--Marble King made Rainbows. Marble--On!!

    I agree with Vitro--nice one! The green and white I would call a WVS or "West Virginia Swirl" made by one of the many companies that operated in WV--probably an Alley Agate. This is just my humble opinion and I hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  9. I would call this one a MK or Marble King marble. I am not good with names but this one may have one? Marble--On!
  10. Oh--I looked! You have a great example of a "Popeye Patch" with a big ole bubble included--pretty cool. These Popeye patches all/most came from a dig on the Akro Agate site. Most are blue and yellow like yours--yours is just very cool--not normal imho. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  11. Ummm, These both look like Vitro--the left one is a Vitro imho and the right one shows a classic cutline of an Akro Patch type. Both are nice finds. Marble--On!!
  12. Marble King, my marble collecting friend. A nice one for sure. @Melissa may have some thoughts here. Marble--On!!

    Vitro "All Red" for sure. The owner of Vitro (at the time at least) wanted all Vitro marbles to include red. "All Red" is actually a Vitro Company name and the more that you continue to collect, the more that you will find. These are quite common but still cool to look at. Marble--On!!

    Newer MK?

    MK sounds right. @Melissa may have a handle on this one. Marble--On!!
