  1. I think that it is a Vitro--the colors give it away as far as I am concerned--it might have been intended to be a "Conqueror". Just my opinion here and I hope to see some more. Nice—weird one for sure!! Marble--On!!
  2. Ummmm--could be---- “Cornelians” were not all dug—many were though. If it is a “Cornelian” it would backlight as semi-transparent. Straight on, these type look opaque—even with direct lighting. The yellow streak does not throw me off here because the white in a “Cornelian” will show in this color because it is buried. White should show though in my humble experience with this type of Akro. Nice assessment Steph! Marble—On!!
  3. The black speck would not be anything to be worried about—common in all machine made marbles or hand gathered marbles. The thing is here that I see two colors light purple and white-vs a clear base.-This does not line up with what a slag is defined as. “One color on a clear/transparent base”. This one may be a slag—but I will call it a very nice swirl that looks like a slag—probably an Alley Agate swirl. You have a nice marble here. Marble –on!!
  4. There is nothing too special here. I do like the middle one which is a Vitro "Conqueror" in a nice color combo for sure. The other two are more than likely Vitro—no names here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  5. No Atmo here--Melissa is right on imho. Marble--On!!
  6. Imho this one is a Jabo--"Classic" from the production runs--not the "special runs". To find one with no damage is a bonus. Marble--On!!
  7. It sure can be and I agree Steph. Nice marbles--all three---! Marble--on!!
  8. Welcome Heather! Show us what you have for sure. I just love this stuff😁. Marble--On!!
  9. Nice blow hole!! I think neither but I cannot call what it really is. Marble--On!!
  10. I agree with Steph and I will call the right one a Vitro--no name here. Nice marbles! Marble--On!!
  11. Marble A is a patch—either Akro or Master imho. The cutlines do not show very well in your images. B is a Peltier “Rainbo”. Fairly common this one. C looks like a WVS of some make—vintage imho. It does look like a Jabo “classic” color combo though. Marble—On!!
  12. It will be in the next FB😁. Marble--On!!
  13. Yep-- Vacor--Octupus without an Iridescent finish--just my opinion--- And I hope to see some more-- Marble--On!!
  14. I have had one like it that never got a good ID--even back in the "Ron Day's (RIP Ron). 3/4"--pretty big--I always tought Alley--but I just suck at WVS ID. Marble--On!!
  15. The left one mystifies me—well, they all do for that matter. The left one has an unusually large fold for a Pelt—weird for sure. The middle one looks like a cross between a Pelt “Christmas Tree” and a Pelt “Burnt Christmas Tree.—Pretty weird as well. The third looks like a crossover Pelt NLR made during a color change—very weird and very cool! The size is the thing here—@ 5/8”. I know that folks hold back because of the “Jabo Contracts” and the amount of variations but I will commit to these all being Pelt. Christmas Tree’s—yes and no—much more special imho. I cannot remember a more messed up and very cool trio, in one image, in my marble collecting life. @Chad G., @Fire1981 and @cheese may have some helpfull opinions. I will lay down by my dish after they chime in. @Nantucketdink knows Jabo for sure. Nice marbles for sure--they sure got me thinking! Marble--On!!
  16. Pelt "Woodie Red Zebra? I am not too good with names. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  17. Nice marble Chad--just when I say red on blue you come up with a blue on red---very cool! Marble--On!!
  18. Hmmm, this one reminds me of a Scott Patrick marble. I am surprised that you did not catch these vibes Fire. I will bid--just because--Thanks!!! Marble--On!!
  19. Pretty cool Fire--Very cool!!! 1920-1930's? The first image almost looks like there is a corkscrew in the back one (yellow and blue???) Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!
  20. Sundays best for sure. Of course I collect Akro--but I collect pouches as well. I had this pouch and marble verified by the King and Queen of Akro. Thanks for that—Great folks, the Hardy’s. The marble is one of six or so that they have seen and they have one that looks exactly like the one that I show here. The fist image is natural, the second under black light, the third is backlit. The pouch, well what can I say, I did not need it to be verified but they sure liked it and were glad to see some of the stuff that is still out there to be found. I wonder if these may be a paired set for winner of a marble tournament, probably will never know. I collect pouches and I will never top this one. (Well, you never know, do you?) Collect on!!
  21. MFC x3--nice one! Marble--On!!
  22. I think that the first one is an Akro patch of some name. The second one is an Akro Corkscrew. The third one is a very weak Pelt Rainbo. Marble--On!!
  23. For some reason I think that the red on blue shows up a tad larger. Marble--On!!
