In my last year of High School I worked at a cheese factory on the weekends. We had to go "out in the field" to "turn over" rounds of aged cheese. After awhile, we got used to the funk--my family never got used to it--the funk! My mom would say "take yours clothes off outside--or take a shower with them on first". I still love a great "funky cheese"--I live in the right area for sure. Funky Cheese--On!!

Joe2 this is a great bunch of images, the last four or five had me looking @ possible Akro Popeye screw- ups. Nice job once again with the images and nice marbles as well. Marble--On!!

The OP is an "Acme Realer" imho. Nice find--nice research all! More opinons are needed for sure. Marble--On!!

This is just a KILLER shooter sized WVS. Check your Alley books. Marble--On!!

I think that Carowill got these mixed up--I have your back here Carowill. Marble--On!!

A one seam slag? CAC imho. Marble--On!!

OK, I blew some dust off the books today and did some searching. "Collecting Early Machine-made Marbles"---Robert S. Block; page 65, the lower two. It is getting quite dusty and I may be out for a while--lol. Marble--On!!

X4--just because I knew this one--😁. Marble--On!!

It is--- but it is not very---as described. Marble--On!!

You can find one at any marble show that you may attend. I would say not so common rather than rare or hard to find. I would put them right there with the powder blue and yellow Popeye in the not so common bracket. Worth your efforts though Fire. Marble—On!!

WVS imho. More opinions are needed for sure. Marble--On!!

I just love to see research being done before an opinion is asked. Kokomos’ are a separate thing that needs this type of research. I do not research Kokomo marbles--nuf said. I would call this one a "Rainbo" Of course all opinions are appreciated and welcomed and I hope to see some more. Nice marble—nice research! Marble—On!!

Looks good! Marble--On!!

I would call it a Heaton---but I just suck @WVS IDs. More opinions are always welcomed. Nice marble though. Marble--On!!

Vitro X2--nice one. Marble--On!!

These can be tuff--the patches. It does look like an older patch type marble. Akro and Master had many that looked alike. Many may think that the cut-lines follow the colors—not always the case imho I cannot really see the actual cut-lines so I will say either or. Marble—On!!

Jabo x2--Nice ones! Marble--On!!

I am thinking Vitro here. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Nice Marble! Marble--On!!

You may just have a wild “Banana” there Fire. I know—the glass is usually crystal clear in a Banana ---but, this is the way of machine made marbles—ya never know for sure. Of course, I appreciate all opinions and look to see some more. Marble—On!!

Ohhh! Not a cloud--this much we can all agree on. It is a hand-gathered marble and I agree with MFC. If you are selling this one is suggest this link for a further evaluation—top notch and he will tell you what you have for sure. My advice—take his advice, swallow the percentage and get top dollar. https://www.marbleauctions.com/ This is a really hard find imho, very rare indeed. Nice stuff—thanks for sharing it. Let us know what you do—I will be watching for one—good luck! Marble—On!!

Nice find--nice marble! X3 Marble--On!!

Champion imho-- Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

Lets see what @Nantucketdink Has to say about this one. Marble--On!!

Cool for sure. I think that you may have a very wild version of a simple Vitro "Conqueror". Nice Find!! Marble--On!!

Vacor--probably a "Volcano". Nice find! Marble--On!!
