These are all WVS from a variety of makers--no wire pulls here imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!!

Akro slags imho--- Nice ones--- Martble--on!!

Ummm--these may both be Peltiers. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

My first thought was Pelt and I am sticking with it. Marble--On!!

My wife and I collected slag glass for a while before we discovered the Hardy’s book in an antique mall. Then we discovered that Akro Agate made what we were collecting. On top of that—they made marbles too. The search was on from that point onward with limited success. Then a friend of ours stopped over with a two pound coffee can full of marbles to ask my opinion. At the time the Pelts that she had in that can were called “Millers”. It was just a great once in a lifetime find. Friends are just that, I told her if she would trust me, I would get her some bucks She was happy with the results( she may have peed her pants a bit), I sold five of them at a show for just under $5000—nothing beats a bidding war with a walk on rookie in the middle of it all (me, I kept my cool and walked around and around, table to table—nerves of steel). The rest of her marbles were sold to a buyer that was more than happy to give a few thousand more. I did keep a Sparkler and a few corkscrews for my efforts. She told us years later that she held some back—all clays—common clays. I did try to sell after that—too much hassle. Now I just keep them and enjoy them, I love to share them as well. I sleep well—that is all that counts, it is a great memory. Marble—On!!

I would probably sort this one as a Vitro. Marble--On!!

Agreed--the "Helmet" is not a helmet, it is an "All Red". Marble--On!!

Here is a link, https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/blue-akro-agate-advertising-deiled-154028639 It has been suggested that these were made by Hazel Atlas. I did not find any listed in my Akro Books. The jury is out on this one so far. Marble—On!!

Nice group for sure! My eye went right to this one--I circled it. Marble--On!!

Good scores on all!! The blue swirly cup is not an Akro imho--maybe an alley?? More images of this one are needed for a proper ID. Marble--On!!

Wall pockets--yes---- those are Lego flowers--- Marble--On!!

I have about 100 classic Sci Fi Paperbacks--un-used. If you know of a buyer--PM me. Marble--On!!

Welcome Crystalwest--show us what you have and have some fun with marble ID. Marble--On!!

The marble that you refer to was a Peewee that showed up in the Popeyes boxes loose on top of the bag. It may have been "Swee' Pea" named after Popeyes kid. Marble--On!! This is an Akro Patch--as I recall--it has been some time--these were considered Vitro until a dig at the Akro site revealed a bunch of them. Marble—On!!

Agreed, Just for kicks I spent some time in “Stephs Study Hall”. I did not find anything real close to this. Is it a Rainbo or a MCS? Maybe just a weird crossover-- https://marbleconnection.com/topic/6786-mostly-pix-peltier/ A nice one for sure—too rare for a name?---maybe. Marble—On!!

I have always fantasized about birds roosting above the rollers and dropping their by-products on the hot marbles. (I am a tad weird this way) Marble—On!!

X2 nice marble!! Marble--On!!

I think that you are right on. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
