A rare version of an Akro Cork--nice marble! A keeper for sure. Marble--On!!
-
I can see where you are coming from--it is very similar to a “Pelt Burnt Christmas Tree”. It is not imho. I would probably sort it as an Alley Agate swirl. It could be one of those Jabo “Contracts” that screw us all up though. Nice marble, nice share. Marble—On!!

Oxblood and white swirl, blue transparent base

X3--nice collecting here and a great ask for sure. Marble--On!!

I agree, "Millers" are still Millers imho but they are a rare find in todays world. This one is just a very nice "swirly" Pelt Rainbo. Just a Killer Marble! Thanks for sharing it with us here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!

You keep it coming Wayne--welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Marble--On!!

Alley Agate--no question here. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
-
Kinda weird seeing opalescence here—am I right? You cannot really tell with any lighting when red is involved in the marble. This one is an Akro imho. Classic Akro cutmarks are evident. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
Imho, This one is an Akro--"Hero" type. It is a hard thing to differentiate between early Akro’s and early Masters—this is an early one and a “Patch type”. Akros generally have ½ coverage and Masters generally have 1/3 coverage in my experience. Regardless of all of that, this is just a great old “Patch type” that exudes “Old”. I just love to see it—thanks for sharing it. Marble—On!!

Nice Rainbo X3. Marble--On!!
-
It is not a Vitro imho. Roberto see's the blue as I do--kinda weird really. I will call this one a Master--earlier version. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
Given the images of course---this one is a Vitro. Size is alway important in Marble ID's. The purple "blush" here is a Vitro trate that is hard to attribute to any other maker. I want them all to be Akro--this one is not one imho. I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more here. @Melissa is on top of this type and I defer to her for a proper ID. Marble--On!!
-
This one may be a Champion. @Al Oregon and @Melissa may have some input to share here. "New Old Fashioned"??? Marble--On!!
-
X3! Nice find and ID by all here. Marble--On!!
-
This one is a dug wvs or at the least one that went through a house fire. It looks out of round, the white is opalescent, the pattern is a wvs type. I will suggest a Ravenswood here. Marble--On!!
-
Cool Marble! This one has seen some play wear and it appears to have been at the very least a "Beach Marble"--a collectable on its' own. I like it for sure. Thanks for sharing it here. Marble--On!!
-
Nice one! You keep me in line--no problem here. The nuns are turning over in their graves😁. Marble--On!!

Japanese Pincher marbles collection is coming along

who made a 4 vane cats eye marble with one of the vanes clear
akroorka replied to Pete2226's topic in Marble I.D.'s
It takes some time and a lot of marbles to pass through your fingers my marble collecting friend. I am not too hesitant to call this one a Vitro "Hybrid" cats eye (a collectors name). As you collect, you will find many of these in many color combinations. They are a very nice Cats eye that include some nice clear base glass along with a multitude of colors involved. You keep on collecting my friend and keep posting here for any answers that you may need. You posted some great images--keep it up! Marble--On!!
