  1. Nice looker--all of the above could be true for sure. I will lean towards Akro here because of image #1. It looks like a corkscrew that did not cooperate. Very cool find indeed! Marble--On!!
  2. Nice marble!--Later imho. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!!
  3. Just a bit of advice. The name “Imperial” was a conglomerate on the west coast of the USA. They never made their own marbles. They did market marbles--from all over the Asian countries--many of them--just many-many from different machines and different companies. A group of these may be from the same manufacturer —not always imho. The larger ones do appear to be a larger Imperial types—very cool imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  4. This is an Alley--I think that I may have traded it away--so what? It is still a great marble. Marble--On!!
  5. Great stuff for sure! Marble--On!!
  6. I search for marble games--this is a first for me. Nice find! (Thanks Mom) Marble--On!!
  7. Image one. I see the left one as a Brick--I cannot see the green thing here. The middle one may be a MFC--not too sure. The last is a slag--more images are needed of all. I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  8. I have had plenty of bad shrimp days my friend. Marble--On!!
  9. Right or wrong--always fun for sure! Marble--On!!
  10. Hey Ric, The top image--the right hand one is probably an Akro--"CORNelian". They are well known for showing little white. Blast it with some backlighting--it should be semi Opaque. The red color differentiates this one from a "Cranberry". Cranberries are much darker—almost a dark red and dark purple mixed. Cornelians actually were a production marble and you can search for boxes of these. The Cranberries were not a production marble as far as I can remember--they were all dug. These were called bricks back in the day—no oxblood though. The Cornelians were also called bricks—no oxblood in these either. This was the way— Marble—On!!
  11. I looked again--the RWB may just be a Pelt Rainbo. Marble--On!!
  12. The last images show a blue tint--is this right? Marble--On!!
  13. “Vacor Roosters” and “Akro Slags” can be a hard thing to sort for those that are not into the older “slags”. You have a mix here and some more learning is invited imho. One thing that I am almost sure of is that you have an Akro "Brick" involved here. Oxblood to the max—a great marble! I have circled it and it is from your second image. Marble—On!!
  14. I blew this one up one my PC and looked very hard at the damage. No Akro Here, not a "Brick" or anything close to a "Mulberry". "Mulberry Bricks" are just a version of a "Slag" that have an opaque glass as the base--white with dark mullbery colored glass vs red transparent is all--no oxblood involved. I am pretty sure that these "Mulberry Bricks" were all dug. If you want to see one just PM me and we will work it out. Imho this one is a Master Made Marble--- a patch---a very cool find! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  15. This one is pretty common too find--WVS -- no ID from me. Marble--On!!
  16. I can almost see what the interweb is sayng here, Peltier "Honey Onyx". If so it would be a weak one for sure. I am with Ric here but I am surprised that he did not mention Ravenswood. @IowaMarble is the go to here to detremine Peltier or not. Marble--On!!
  17. Nice images! Imho--it is just a common WVS. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  18. I can see why some may think that this one may be a MK--they can show up quite weird like this one. I am in on the Pelt ID--- Marble--On!!
  19. The later marbles all used "cullet glass", or throw away from other glass companies No company could afford to make there own recipes for glass and compete with the influx of Asian marbles. They are what they are and much of the cullet came from other glass companies making other than marbles. Marble--On!!
