    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!!

    Akro?

    I agree with Tommy here. Masters also showed up with "Lashes". Nice marble--Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  16. This one is a corkscrew imho--just fancy. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  17. It may just be me with my large monitor--but I see some red in this marble. Could it be Oxblood? Either way, Akro or MFC imho. Marble--On!!

    Nice "Helmet". Marble--On!!
  19. akroorka

    Peltier?

    Welllll--I would call it a weird Pelt Rainbo. They do show up quite weird--almost as much as a cork from Akro. Just my humble opinion--- Marble--On!!
  20. akroorka

    Vacor?

    Peltier x2 Marble--On!!
  21. Wow! Nice big Vitro imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

    I agree with "Chalkie". These were found in the "digs"--not found too often in a variety of digs that we consider here. The "digs/chalky" come from a variety of instances that happened under the earth for awhile come into play. It is just a simple explanation of under the earth for awhile (years) interacting with being buried with a few chemical reactions taking place while being below the ground. @cheese or @Alan may have a better explanationfor you all. Marble—On!!
  23. Fires wife contacted me about some bad/sad news. Fire died as a result of some injuries that he received while on the Ice rink. He was a good marble buddy of mine. Yes, he may have raised some ire here and there over the years but—he was always very passionate about marble collecting. I always appreciated that in him. Fire was a “Fire Jumper” in his earlier years. Funny how that went from jumping out of planes to fight fires to becoming a Zamboni driver for the Colorado Eagles. I will miss his wit and wisdom along with his attempts at becoming more amicable in the marble collecting community. My thoughts are with his wife and daughter—and his chickens-lol. Marble—On Rick Robbins (@Fire 1981) We will all miss you---so sad—so sad!!
