I may be wrong here, but as I recall, Akro named more of their marbles than anyone else. ( Except for Vacor, which is a great marketing trick no doubt) The company names seem to stick quite well for me. The rest--well, they are collectors names that we all know and love Marble—On!!

X3, I would sort this one as a slag. No maker is evident to me. Marble--On!!

The left one is a corkscrew imho. Nice finds! Marble--On!!

Times Three--stay away! Marble--On!!

I agree with MFC and original finish. This is a rare find! Nice marble--Great images! Marble--On!!

I agree with Master--A Master Made Marble. Nice images once again! Nice marble--these things are stone hard--luv--em. Marble--On!!

Imperial would be my guess here too. Nice images! Marble--On!!

Vacor--little doubt. A weak version of a "Jungle" imho. Marble--On!

I agree, it looks like an Imperial. Imperial was/is on the west coast that was a seller of many things including marbles from many countries overseas. (A jobber) To nail it down to which country it came from, would be very hard to do. I am glad to see that you lit it hard--backlighting is even better. Just take a small penlight, rest the marble on it--and shoot it---or just look at it--. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!

Vacor for sure. A Cricket? ( I think so) Nice find! Nice images! Post the size always--! Marble—On!!

Either “Master Made Marbles” or “Master Glass” made this one imho. To put it in a nutshell—“Master Made Marbles” was an old company that turned into “Master Glass”. In the earlier years they competed with Akro Agate and they eventually bought out Akro Agate. The quality went down the tubes after that. They were in a fight for their life with the USA restrictions lifted on Japanese marbles after WW2—mainly Cat-eyes. Yours shows some evidence of being a Master Glass marble, the blue and white stream in one image reminds me of a “Master Glass Marble”(Cats-Eye) that often showed up in the Cats-Eyes that they made. You posted some great images, keep them coming—A bit sharper would help. Marble—On!!

Nice group! The orange one is very special--love it! Marble--On!!

Akro "Moonies" vs CAC "Moonies". This is always an interesting discussion for me. I researched Akro“Flinties” for many years. The white ones were always a hard find for me. I came to the conclusion that the Akro white “Flinties” and “Moonies” were the same thing. Now comes the Cac vs Akro thing---There is no doubt a slight difference that could /maybe be told in hand. My advice, Take it to a show and find a CAC collector—and an Akro collector. Nice marble non-the-less and a very good ask here. Marble—On!!

Very interesting! Click on the images and blow them up x2. Marble--On!!

Great stuff shiroaiko. Keep it coming--Thanks once again. Marble--On!!

I would consider WVS not a Jabo imho. Marble--On!!

I had a nice Japenese Maple a few years back. The same thing happened to me. I got some stainless steel bolts and got it back together--it died that winter--so sad, I gave it my best though. It's little bro is doing fine now--and growing well.

I agree with Tommy on the middle one--an Imperial--nice one there. The third one I would hesitate to call CAC--Alley sounds like a good choice here. Nice marble regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!

CAC x2--- Marble--On!!

Fire covered it pretty well. Marble--On!!

Lets call in @Melissa here. She is a master of Vitro and MK. I am calling this one a Vitro--no name. Marble--On!!

I would consider Vacor here--A "Black Panther". Marble--On!!

Truefully--I think that this one is a "practice marble" from a "polisher". This is an Akro Slag that has been decimated imho. I just hate this stuff. Nice share--still pissed though. I just hate polished machine mades that are passed as relics. Great share though😁. Marble--On!!

Nice marble--too bad, soooooo--- sad--this one has been "buffed" imho. I just hate this stuff! Marble--On!!

These are both 3/4" in my book. The first one is a nce Alley Agate and the second one is a nice Akro Cork--this one may be named ( Superman?). Oh well, I am not really into names and I am glad--it takes some brain power just to remember the makers. Nice marbles non-the-less! Marble--On!!
