You post great images--keep it up! The second one has me puzzled a bit--- nice clear old --very nice glass. The others are basic MK or Marble Kings--you will find plenty of these over the years Marble--On!!
-
I cannot ID the first one--it is not a Pelt imho. The second one is just a "killer" Vitro. I would call it a "Trilite" for some reason. The yellow in these Vitro types are just top notch--love it! Marble--On!!
-
Any Macine made marble that you can hold in your hand like an egg is more than likely a Vacor. Vacor is the absolute Master of the larger sized marbles. I would not place any age on these. I like them--just beware of fold or seam marks--this woud be a negative as far as I am concerned. You have a nice group of Vacors here. Marble--On!!

Aye Eye "AI' will never get marbles lol. So funny but true. Al Oregon has this one nailed. Bennigtons-(bennies) are hard to pass up. The little dots are a result of them being stacked together during the firing process in the kiln. I love these and always have. They come quite big—over an inch and quite small-under 5/8”. These are the Chickadee’s of marble collecting and I have never met one who does not like them. They are just too common to collect—unless you are me—I just luve-em. Marble—On!!

I agree with Al here. The purple one has me mesmerized though. Purples and Pinks in glass marbles as colors go--are a hard find. Just off the cuff, I would call it a "Bogard and Sons Company” marble. @cheese has a good handle on WVS. Perhaps he will help out here. Nice images! Marble—On!!

X2-- some of these are showing quite clear and beutiful clear glass. Just and indicater of well thought out and and well cooked glass. (well cooked meaning that they--the marble makers, took the extra time to make the clear glass in this instance--without bubbles included). Marble--On!!

Nice images here and I like the holder as well—an old electrical insulator from an older house? Imho—this is an Akro Agate patch type that was found as a discard during the “Digs” of the old Akro site---I far as I know no –one ever had permission to dig these sites. Akro Agate had one thing going for them though-—quality control. I apprecaite all opinions and hope to see some more here. The inclusion of the "oven brick" etc tells me this. Nice find! Marble—On!!

👍.

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!!

This is a very cool one--thanks for sharing it. 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!!
-
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 all of the above ID's. 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!!
-
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!
-
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!!
-
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!!

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

This one is a corkscrew imho--just fancy. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
