    Ok Wolf, I can back you up here, I am proud to do so. I am also glad to see you back it up lightly --good job ! Sunlight--better images--It may just be an Alley "Lady" of some sort. Give us your best images here. This Marble does not suck-either-way. @cheese wiil check in when you are done--I am sure of it. Marble--On!!
  3. Some form of a Rooster---- Vacor still makes these and they still are killer--Many different colors are involved throughout the years. Marble--On!!
  4. Just as an after-tought with no proof. I have always tought that Vacor "Frosted" marbles rather than put them out to pasture.( no proof) This may be one of those. The "Frosted" ones always seem to be very nice when coverage is considered and it makes sense to do so--money wise for them. These are just my weird toughts as a collector--who sometimes thinks too much about this weird thing that makes us collect toy marbles😁. I collect and I do my do diligence.--I may just be mental with marbles. I just suck at WVS ID🤢--the rest, well, I get them get pretty well. No marbles suck imho--some are just a tad or so better ( yep sometimes much better--but that is what we do here--try to get to the next level). Collect what you like and keep on collecting. If you are into the money--just stick around for awhile--you never know do you? Are there any out there willing to trade for Bennies--probably not but they are just a thing that you want to keep for some reason (the Chickadee of all marbles). I just love them all--Anything Round!!! Marble--On!!
  5. I like this marble, I am not into names though. I would never polish it--never. It is a very nice Akro. Marble--On!!

    I think Jabo also--a special one. @Nantucketdink may have another opinion though. My call is just a special "Jabo Classic". Nice marble--Great ask! Marble--On!!
  7. Notice the way that the white bleeds softley into the red--this one is a Vacor imho. Marble--On!!
  8. Good job Al Oregon, so many headers so many names. You bailed us all out here once again.👍. Marble--On!!
  9. Maybe it was sold in Africa--just made in Mexico. I have little doubt that there are some folks making marbles in Africa some place--just for us in the USA at least------- Marble--On!!
  10. Yours is a Pelt--no doubt. Marble--On!!
  11. Oh--don't I know it--You did very well--verry well Just crop them a bit more and rock on!! Marble--On!!
  12. AV means Aventurine. Yours shows some glass bubbles on the green--not AV. Aventurine is mosty discussed as little fakes of a metallic nature involved in the glass itself when it is involved with "Machine Made Marbles". Like litle diamond bits or if you are into "Hot Rod" cars--it would be "Metal Flake". This av could be Gold, Blue, Green, Yellow--or even black--- amongst others. Now given that, in Old German Handmades this would be considered as "Lutz" a true bonus in any antique handmade. I know--hard to decipher. You keep coming back and asking questions--post some more marbles as well. Marble--On!
  13. X3-- Marble--On!!
  14. I understand. Pelt Rainbos have as many colors combos as any Akro Corkscrews have. Pelt Rainbos are just messy compared to most Corkscrews. You get a few--800 or so under your belt and you will know. Once you know Pelt Rainbos--you will never look back. These are great little marbles to collect and you will never find them all. These are just great Marbles-- Marble--On!!
  15. This one is a Vacor Hurricane imho. Bust them down one by one and consider that many look the same as the first. This is a long running marble made by Vacor for good reason--they all look good. Marble--On!!
  16. "Peltier Bananas" have some of the very clearest glass ever made---ever. Crystal clear with very, very few bubbles involved. Pelt is known for bubbles in the glass--not these--they are very refined as far as the clear/transperent goes. Peltier Bannanas have some of the finest clear glass ever made in the world of collectable marbles, I love em and will continue to collect them as cateyes. Crop these images a bit and you are perfect here with images. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  17. Welcome back for sure. If this one was one inch--I would cal it a Jabo. You listed the size as a seasoned collector should. You keep coming back with more to share with us all here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!

    Alley?

    Alley Pennsboro, vs Alley St.Mary's , vs Ravenswood,--it could only take an expert. (these will alway be up for grabs as far as an ID is concerned) Call them what you like-- I just like them. I reverted to the Alley Agate Company books---the results are up for grabs there imho. Nice post--no results here as far as I am concerned. Just call it a Ravenswood--because it is a cooler name than an Alley Agate whatever imho. Marble--On!!
  19. As Chad says here--a "frit" marble made by many many companies World wide. The glass glob was cutoff onto the rollers and small specks of glass were sprinkled over the glass as it was rolled into a sphere. Of course, the sprinkled "Fret" was solid vs molten so it stuck to the surface of the marble, cooler than the glass glob was. Size is always an important thing to consider when a Marble ID is needed. I consider this one to be larger than one inch--maybe even two inches considering your finger at the bottom image. So--It survided a fire Pit? I love it! These are not too valuable, yours has nice coverage though. Pretty cool find, Nice share here. You keep them coming DumpsteR BandiT. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
  20. I am very happy with your images. "Size" is always important with Marble ID--always". There is green in this marble along with un-absorbed metallic flakes that many consider to be Aventurine. It is not considered (Aventurine) as such by the "Seasoned Collectors". This stuff usually shows up in a green color of any marble maker--World Wide. You did great with the images--even a few "backlit". Now, given that, most ID's are given over a phone today--little screen--little eyes on the marble. I still Use a PC with a large screen that many smaller images may have missed. I am ready to call this one a Master Made Marble--A patch--dark but very cool. It is not a real Valuable Marble--but you represented it very well. Thanks for that! Marble--On!!
  21. Yep X2--a pretty nice one. Some of Vacors "Frosted Marbles" were not marketed in the USA--Is this one of them?? Lets call in @Mojo he has close ties with @Andy McLaughlin from Alaska, who wrote the book on Vacors. Andy is very busy in the wild, Fishing Hunting and--well collecting Vacor and other marbles.--Maybe Mojo has some thoughts here. Marble--On!!
  22. Once again--crop these images better. It is a nice Akro for sure. Marble--On!!
  23. Nice marble, I suggest "cropping" your images more--show more marble and less background. This all takes space that is purchased here--it is not a free board--we all have to pay to keep it running. Marble--On!!
  24. This is a nice one Wolf, A CAC no doubt. The post before this one has been discussed and it is still a Peltier Rainbo. Please stop reposting marbles that have been ID'd here. Your last one needs to be seen in hand for most of us here to make an accurate call. Take it to a show where someone can "Lupe" it. I think that it has been buffed at the very least. A very nice marble non-the-less. Nice share! Marble--On!!
  25. Nice find!! Great share here--nice images as well. Marble--On!!
