I agree with Steph. The Bennington’s generally have touch marks—or eyes where they were stacked together before the firing process. The glaze on the marbles—where they touched each other in the stacking/fireing process, produced these eyes or round marks. The fancy ones, with multiple colors as opposed to the just blue, brown or other are a harder find imho. The two on the bottom image could have been made either across the Atlantic or right here in the USA---as far as that goes—they all could have been. The top one—the Glazed China—is more than likely from Germany. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

X20--Great work! Marble--On!!

A Peewee Pelt with AV??? Just a killer marble imho. I wonder what you were bidding on? Marble--On!!

I agree. I would like some more opinions though. Never forget that Vacor has been making marbles for a long long time. Many runs and many marbles. (I still think that it a WVS) @cheese @Ric @Chad G. Many more that I am too old to remember today. I appreciate all opinions and always hope for more. Marble--On!!

Vacor Giraffe? I do not think it is a Jabo. Did Alley Agate make a big one like this? It looks like it might react to UV light. Nice marble! Marble-On!!

Lets just get a tad crazier!!

Lets get crazy!

Not too shabby my marble collecting friend. Marble--On!!

Good job Plutonianfire lets just keep it in a more common language, we are not all savants here. I am sure that @cheese will agree. Cheese is great at what he does--Marbles--all of them!! Marble—On!!

That is some serious stuff for a MK Jeff54--Great marble!! Marble--On!!

Cheese and I both posted within seconds of each other. This is not a response to me at all. I suggest a re-think and better vibes from all involved. Let’s just be nice to each other---please consider this! We are all very passionate about this hobby/addiction. Let’s try to keep it on a level plain. I prefer to educate—if I can. Marble--On!!

No doubt about it my marble collecting friend--no doubt at all. All are welcomed here and all will have input to give. Your choice of words has not been discouraged but researched to get the gist of them. I welcome you and all to this board regardless of the activity behind the scenes of humanity and the many themes of “Humanity”. We are here to judge marbles—not humans—we are all after all—quite crazy! Well—I better speak for myself—Quite crazy indeed am I ( I do speak like Yoda sometimes)---as far as marbles go at least. Lets just go crazy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXJhDltzYVQ Marble—On!!

Size Boris? Marble--On!!

Well it might be. I will wait for the Peltier collectors to weigh in. @Chad G.@cheese@Fire1981@tankgrrl29 and any that I may have missed as well --sorry- brain fog. I respect the opinions of these folks and I know that they know what I am thinking. Marble--On!!

In this day and age--Never count out the damage. Marble--On!!

I agree with Steph. The thing with Akro is the cutline does not always follow the stretch of the colors to a point; you may be able to discern a “C” type cutoff beyond the colors pointed end in the matrix. Generally Master Made Marbles do cutoff to a point with the colors—generally at least. This is the way for me. Most will be right—some—maybe not but if I cannot tell, who cares really. Then you get into Master Glass Marbles which may have been using Akro Machinery. We will find out some day. Marble—On!!

X20. Marble--On!!

Join the club! Steph nailed this one imho. Marble--On!!

Always! Knowledge out-weighs wishes though. Marble—On!!

I associate big blow holes with Pelts. Of course we only see the very best in books and posted images. I have never been a big show attendee, so I suffer from the lack of discussion on this type. Did Kokomo’s suffer the same with blow holes? Kokomo had the same machinery and many of the same recipes for the glass. Maybe—just maybe—the middle one could be a Kokomo imho. What a delight that would be! I appreciate all opinions and hope for some more info on this subject. Marble—On!!

Alley made some great transparent green glass marbles. Check out the “Mountain Dew" and the transparent “Corals”. The Mountain Dew would be a nice one to have—not yet—lol. A Killer color combo for sure. I am a color guy vs a pattern guy. I think that Alley is as close as this one gets. I appreciate all opinions and welcome them. Nice marble! Marble—On!!

X3 Marble--On!!

I agree.The bottom right does not fit in. The top one is killer--really nice. The top three I would call Aquamarines. The bottom left?------maybe? I appreciate all opinions and welcome them. Marble--On!!

Agreed. If you get it, post the one in question. It might be a fun one for a thread. Marble--On!!

LOL. Someone got me mixed up with a Zamboni driver in Colorado🤪. I am quite capable of stirring the pot. I just prefer a spoon made from pixie dustto one made of cast iron. Stir the pot----- always------give your opinions for sure, do not be shy----just be nice! This is what keeps us going here on "TheMarbleConnection". Marble--On!!
