So do I--great marble! Great colors as well! Marble--On!!
-
These are great images--I love them. Notice the almost Coke bottle appearance of the clearer glass, this is something to consider because it tells the tale of recycled glass which was and still is a thing with Asian made marbles. Marble—On!

You get plenty right Fire--Champion X3-4. Marble--On!!

Not too odd imho--just one of those "Rainbos" Marble--On!!

I liked "played with" marbles and this one is a Pelt. Cool your tool and look for a more minty variety--just simple advice here. Marble--On!!
-
Nice images once again. Akro x3. Marble--On!!
-
"Comets", as in Master Made Marbles. I agree--- Marble--On!!

"All Red" x2 probably from the sixties. These "all red" were named by the owner. He wanted red in all of his marbles--It just never worked out his way😁. Marble--On!!

Vacor Atmospheres Video by Stephen Bahr

Many unanswered questions here. This is a very good video though. Marble—On!! -
LOL X2 ---this is one great description of a marble that I would never had imagined,. Just gross but true--good eye. Marble--On!!

No need to cancel or delete here. It is a nice marble and I just gave an opinion that I will stand by. Many collectors would call this one, the red one, an Akro. We all learn from posts like this and that is why we are here--to learn. Well, this is a group of images of a marble that on my PC, does not show any Akro colors. The base is just not clear/transparent enough and the red--well--not Akro in my experiance at least. We all offer opinions here--this is just my humble opinion and I may be wrong. Keep Marbling On!!

I think that you have a nice Vacor "Sea Turtle" here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
It does appear to be a machine made--no way. I think that @Alan is right on here. Marble--On!!
-
I am not convinced that this one is an Akro--just my humble opinion. I am getting some Asian vibes here. I appreciate all opinions and post what I think is an honest opinion based on my experience only. Marble--On!!

Ummm? Who is the maker here Wolf? You have found a weird name but have not named a maker or the size. Give us some more information. Marble--On!
-
This is a very small one and I would venture a guess only. Here is my guess-- Jabo Classic. I appreciate all opinons and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Yes a bit “pissy” but acceptable. I agree that a loupe is a thing to own when collecting or selling marbles. I looked with my loupe when I sold marbles--not so much anymore. Some of these Pelts with AV need a loupe to determine the colors involved with the AV. Old eyes need help, and I will always use a loupe. This is a great topic, and I think that we have all learned from it. "Eye appeal" is not always the function of buying a marble. Many collectors insist on a mint marble and a loupe will get you further than a simple ID under light. My wife purchased a few for me as a “present" at a marble show quite a few years back. I appreciated them as a "Present”, but they were polished Akro Popeyes.( yep, I told her and reported him) This was about 20 years ago. Marble—On!!

Wow--great finds! You know what they are and this is a great thing to find out as a collector--I know that it not come easy--the knowledge. Marble--On!!

Back lighting is a good way to enjoy these cute little orbs. It does have some value in the ID of marbles. Backlighting them all is my motto. Nice stuff here. Marble—On!
