X2-- Marble--On!!

Very cool--verrrrrry cool. It is a Vitro IMHO but it looks like a cross between a "Caged Cat" and a "Conqueror"--pretty nice find! Good eye!! Marble—On!!

I do not blame anyone for backing off on this one. It is an extremely weird marble. The indents or smooth little round marks that drop towards the middle are just weird to me. I have seen them before but not so many in one marble. Image one shows what I believe is Opal white glass. This one is a WVS of some make imho. Marble--On!!

Nice share here Da Roberto. This is a first for me--foil wrapped marbles--pretty cool really @Al Oregon would love these I am sure--just something different for sure. Marble--On!!

Just a simple swirl--nothing special. Nice images-- Marble--On!!

@YasudaCollector may have an opionion here Marble--On!!

"Tracers" were named by "Gino Biffany"--RIP. He was a Telephone Technician back in the day of Telephones. The wires of this old tech carried wire with a specific code—or color variance—some of them carried a stripe vs a solid color—a tracer. Gino was the Gentlemen of Peltier collectors—What a great guy! Marble—On!!

Welcome Hazel-- to "TheMarbleConnection" the oldest Chat group on the web regarding Marbles. You just do your best posting images in the ID section. Well cropped and sharp-- List the size-- three or four at a time with all sides shown (Four). Once again--welcome and I/We hope to see some of what you have to offer. Marble--On!!

These are tuff to ID even for those across the Atlantic in the British Isles. These are not onionskins imho. They are a Newer marble--about 20 years old or newer--Bulgarian-- Marble--On!! I appreciate all opionions and hope to see some more. Marble --On!!

A Big Woodie----Just a tad under an inch . Marble--On!!

That "Black and White Clambroth" just keeps my eye away from the rest of them. I wonder about the name here @Chad G.--if I am right at least. You see way more clams that I do--. Marble--On!!

Slags are considered to be white with a colored transparant base. Cac Slags are a different animal buttttt--the electric yellow CAC slag is the best ever made imho. Marble--On!!

MFC imho GreyMaus--sharper images will do the final job as far as ID goes. Keep them coming and practice-- Marble--On!!

Great images! I agree with Vitro--probably a weird Conqueror. Buttttt--it may be an invasion of a weird alien species🙃. Send this one to a Volcano and never look back. I can feel the worms in my eyes already-- Just a cool marble--Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!

I just love these Pelt Muddies--they come big and small and in-between sizes. Here is a cool image— "Disclaimer"--no damage or injury was done during this shoot, the marbles agreed to shoot this image as long as they were insured. Marble—On!!

What a great find GreyMaus! When taking images what do you use? These micro images can be a drag to get a good clear image with. Lock your elbows into your chest, keep breathing lightly and shoot. Squeeze/Push that button lightly--do not Push/Squeeze too fast--it will pull you out of focus. Micro Imaging is an art and I know that you can master it. I had to master it with film--very expensive but worth the while in learning patience. Now I can go wild and shoot 300 images to pick out the very best with no cost--lol--What a world we live in.

This one is a beautiful Akro Slag. These came in sizes from 9/16” up to 1” with all sizes included in- between. I love a good slag! Marble--On!!

Opal is always hard to ID when orange or red is involved, even in hand. I love opal in a marble and so did many folks that used these as toys because they lit up in the sun light and under the clouds as well--uv light makes these light up--not a glow but just a highlight. If you can push some white light through this one with out getting any colors involved--it will shoe a pinkish/reddish glow in a narrow window. Nice marble--a Pelt Rainbo-- Marble--On!!

MFC in my humble opinion. MFC made a bunch of slags--some very bigs ones as well--I do not recall the largest size that they made--very big is all that I can say. They are one of the oldest--if not the oldest machine made ( they did hand-gatherered Machine rounded )marble company in the good ole USA. Any MFC is a good find--a true Antique. Nice find!! Marble--On!!

There is a line of AV--actually un-absorbed minerals from the glass recipe--in the last image. Marble makers around the world have this show up in the green colors that they make. Sparklers are easy to ID after you get your shoes on with these--just check out Stephs Study Hall and do a search. I feel your pain but it will all come together sooner than you think. Marble On !!

I love it too--nice share for sure. I have always been hooked on Akro and I keep the beat up ones in a clear old container that I look at and wonder about often. Marble--On!!

Nice share Al--this is a first for me--very cool! Marble--On!!

All vintage or current, machine made glass marbles have two cutmarks Wolf. Some are more evident than others. Just think about the process, the marble is a chunk of molten glass that is dropped, taken or formed into a device that makes it round. It is a blob from the previous cut--then it is cut again to drop into a device to make it round--simple simon. There are plenty of youtube vids showing marbles being made---check it out! Marble--On!!

Marble--On Bro!!

Something is just off with this one. I do want to call it an Akro corkscrew--but I want to call it a contemporary as well. More opinions are needed here. Marble—On!!
