Here is a very “minty” Vitro with a nice band of Oxblood. You just never know where the Ox will show up do you? I will just call it a “Conqueror” with oxblood. Very cool—@11/16”. Marble—On!!

Very nice crashbelt. Is that a deck of cards? Patience #190? would love to see a closeup of some of them. Marble--On!!

Not this one. I actually have a marble someplace that was attracted to a magnet. I am thinking that it was a slag with a shiny bit of debris in it. Ya just never know until you try it-- Marble--On!!

Great idea Ric, Tator Lady does sound a bit "dowdy". I do not know if "Lady Tator" shouts "refined". I sure do like the name though. I am glad to hear that you had a part in this. There are many named marbles, this is the best name ever imho and by far one of the best Alley Agates that I have ever held. Thanks for all that you do/have done. Marble--On!!

Akro made some pretty sparse looking marbles in the later years. Especially the bigger ones. I am comfortable with Akro here. Marble--On!!

This one is a Vitro Fire--no doubt in my mind. All Red?? Marble--On!!

Here is my best WVS--imho. In honor of @wvrons and all of the folks that were or will be digging in West Virginia, what a great passion along with endless, thoughtless sharing for sure. What a great service you have all supplied to the marble collecting community. I appreciate all of your efforts and the info that you have shared. I really dig the names that you “digger” folks come up with. This one just makes me wiggle a bit—I just love the name—the marble is not too shabby either. Lady Tator—really?? Who else but the “Kings/ Queens” of Diggers” could come up with this name? I love it—just love it. Thanks to you all!! WVS on!! Marble—On !!

A Vitro wth some Iron invloved. Marble--On n!!

This one is a Peewee Champion. Marble--On!!

A.I. obviously does not get the size thing---yet. Those are some mighty big marbles those older dudes are sitting on. Cool stuff bumblebee! Is there a link to this stuff? Marble—On!!

Vitro sure made a bunch of different patterns over the years. I am stymied on what to call this one other than Vitro. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

You did well Jeff54 for only five boxes😁. There are some very nice ones there. Master Glass is often overlooked--you have to do a lot of picking but they are there to find. Made in the USA--- Nice stuff! Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!

I agree. I did not even want to go to the Vacor website with this one. Nice call Chad! Nice marble Fire! Nice clear glass in this one! Marble--On!!

It fits for me! MarbleS--On!!

Here is a fun one. If you do not backlight your marbles, well, get on with it. This one may be a Ravenswood @5/8"--or?? I appreciate all opinions. Backlight them all!!! Marble--On!!

This is where I got Cairo stuck in my head--I put it there a few years back with this post. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/27729-cairo/#comment-240082 It is similar to the OP just not similar enough. I have not seen another like it. Ron straightened me out with this one. Marble--On!!

Vacor "Ladybug" imho. Marble--On!!

Wow--the blue is intense on that one Chad--nice marble! I have a favorite Image of a blueblood, the blue is usually a bit darker and most of the time the ox is covered by it. Sometimes not. Marble--On!!

I am no Guru. I can tell you this Much about your "Whopper" though. The big ones do not behave like the smaller siblings do. I would not fancy calling this one a Conqueror. Trilite would be my choice. It is a nice marble! Marble--On!!

I agree with Alley Agate--I know most of the big ones. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Akronaut would be the correct spelling. I agree on the Jabo ID. The Corkscrew--no oxblood--not a blueblood. If I had a row of ten I would call it a "Prizename". By it self--a really nice corkscrew. That is always enough for me. Marble--On!!

Always Steph, with the patches. Marble--On!

This one appears to be an Akro---"Cornelian". (not CARnelian) Rare and hard to get a good image of. They appear to be quite Opaque in hand--like a "Brick". Back-light them and they will reveal themselves, They are semi-opaque. These were called “Bricks” by the older—really older collectors—even older than me—lol. Here are a few better images that I have—most were dug as far as I know. They came in many shades of red from deep almost oxblood looking to a more red-ish that we all know. They were boxed and sold by Akro as Cornelian-they were the mostly more red variety—with a bit of white—they looked like an opaque slag. There may be more names for these—I just call them Cornelians—all of them. Marble—On!!

That is Chad for sure--- Marble on Bro!!

X2 Marble--On!!
