X2--nice find! (they do come bigger) Marble--On!!

You did find the right place—thanks for showing up and asking—keep the posts coming! We have been down this road before. These are not collectable. There have been many speculations as to the origin of the so called “train track marbles”. The most common explanation is that they were intended to go to a factory that produced “fiberglass”. There were many marbles---millions upon millions that were made for the explicit use of manufacturing in a variety of ways from polishing steel--etc from foundries to to use in the manufacture of fiberglass. The tinkle that you hear when you shake a can of spray paint is a good example. Marble—On my friend and keep coming back.

I have a bent little finger on my left hand from an old high school football injury that hurts when I see an Akro that glows. Marble--On!!

The left one throws me off a bit—at that size and with the green tint—Vacor—I do not know what model or name. It just strikes me as a Vacor. The right hand one is in a different class. Nice bright white glass is involved with this one—perhaps batch glass—or made from a recipe vs cullet glass. CAC? Perhaps—Akro—maybe? The slag is not a Vacor imho. Nice marble!! More opinions are needed here and they are always welcomed. Marble—On!!

The amount of stripes and the base color will determine the name--usually with Pelts. Yours is a nice "Rainbo"--not a MCR (Multi colored rainbo) or a MCS (Multi colored swirl). This may seem like nit picking but "nits" rule in the marble world. You can search google and find many like yours with the name that you desire--just not facts. Nice marble non-the-less! Marble--On!!

This is a nice "patch". This one looks like it is in the sunlight to me--great images! That little bit-of-white in the first image makes me think Akro. This one may glow under UV light--try it. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

We are lucky that you have found us--keep them coming! Marble--On!!

Here is a nice Pelt slag backlit. Marble--On!!

I would be too!!! Nice wait on what may have been a disaster. Marble—On!!

The condition is poor---no value here. Just mho--- Marble--On!!

I looked very hard at this one--- I looked very hard at this one--- I looked very hard at this one--- This is a Vitro imho Marble--On!!

Hand buffed is a great term here. It is a nice marble with little work applied to the original finish. Marble—On!!
