That one with the purple( they are both nice). This was not an instant ID I am sure--a nice find and a good job @ID Marble--On!!

MK no doubt--. That “Waffle finish” is quite interesting. Maybe not from a dig but from a fire. It is out of the round no doubt. Older home furnace repair folks found these in the fire box all the time. The marbles would roll down the cold air return and right back into the flames—if you kept the cold air return clean and free of dust— (yes—it used to be my job). Cool marble for sure. I just love this stuff! Marble—On!!

Consider a Vacor "Blue Tang" here. There are many different runs of this marble. @Melissa knows her Vacor as well as @Mojo Lets ask for some different opinions here. Marble--On!!

I have seen these in hand and they have always befuddled me. I think that it it is a WVS. @Nantucketdink may have an opinion here. Marble--On!

You sure have the eye Melissa--great find !!! Marble--On!!

Well, if a typical Akronaut can stand up, bend over and touch their toes with their nose @70—I am typical. Yoga my friend—🙃. Try it and never go back to a hard painfull life. Marble--On!!

This one was dug out of the discards of one or another company. If I had to ID it with the images given—MK sounds right to me. Lets ask @Melissa for an opinion here. Marble—On!!

Nice images--a nice clean looking WVS. Alley Agate imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. marble--On!!

This is a rare one imho--Peltier--consider "Plum--Lime Citrus" here. I have this new book and I looked. Nice marble--regardless. Marble--On!!

This one reminds me of Vacor Roosters. They are being played these days in tournaments. The amount of time than you have had this one plays a role in the ID. I want them all to be Akro--this is not a CAC imho Marble—On!!

Regardless of rumors--this is a pretty nice example of a "Popeye Patch" imho. Marble--On!!

Your first image shows what I would consider as Asian made due to the “Coke bottle” colored transparent glass involved. Asian marbles often display this because of the recycled glass that was often used. The red circled ones are probably Asian but may be from Mexico. The third group appears to be from the good old European Market to me. Lets call in @Mojo for an opinion here. Welcome and marble—On!!

It did not sell but I get it--the ID. Marble--On!!

Not my foot--just some part below the waist😗. Marble--On!!

That stripe does look kinda reddish--cool find. Hard to tell from here though. I hope that someone will have an answer for you. I think that you are on the right track--I would call it a WVS for sure. Marble--On!!

Cool Beans! Nice find--especially this time of year when Anti---queing is heavy. Something good happened for sure.. Marble--On!!

Nice marble--Nice images as well. I would consider Vitro here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Lets call in @stephenb for an opinion here. My Spanish sucks. I for one do not know how I changed the title--it still fits though--sooorry for that. My mouse gets me in touble sometimes. Marble--On!!

Agreed-One of very few I would be buried with. Nice marble!!

Yes, I would say much harder--most, if not all, are patches that are hard to ID vs a Master which are a tad more common imho. These little Akro Patches were commonly placed on top of the poutch--just one--in the Akro Popeye Boxes. Collectors called them "Swea Pea" after Popeyes little adopted son. Marble--On!!

Once learned, the trill of a Screetch Owl is very cool to hear. I love it. They will call back and forth until you give a Horned Owl hoot or three, then all is quite. Horned Owls prey on those little fellas. Cool stuff for sure. The Horned owls at least are setting up their breeding grounds and some may be nesting already. I always watch for Crows bunching up--they know what is up with birds of prey and they jump on any oppurtuntity to harrass them. I have seen them bug the heck out of an Eagle in the back fourty. Earlier this winter I watched a Coopers Hawk being harrased by a bunch of crows--He was not intimidated--he just wanted to eat one of them. Cool Stuff.

Thanks Alan, I cannot log into AAM for any reason?? Marble--On!!

"Duplos"---I still step on them when the great grandkids are on their way home--OUch!! --even on carpet with socks on.

Nice image! About 35 years ago I was in the kitchen with my youngest son teaching him bird calls. We lived at the time in an ancient Virgin woods. I was doing a a Cardinal call when all of a sudden, just outside the window, a Barred Owl Let loose--Big time--shivers up the spine for both of us, what a memory! Ohh--hooh-hoo--Ohh hoo-hoo--Hoooooo!!! ( with a trill of sorts) Owls On for sure!
