Here is another rare one Al. Just an image that I had saved from somewhere? Have you ever seen one like it? Marble--On!! -
Nice find for sure. Those green/white ones and the light blue/white one deserve a seperate post for sure. Clean them up and give us a few images of them. Nice stuff! Marble--On!!

I saw one before, in a box posted somewhere. Pretty rare for sure. Yes, the marbles are a tad newer😁. Marble--On!! -
Vacor for sure, Hand-gathered for sure----- This one is an Atmo—nice find! I have too many like this. Marble—On!!

You may be lucky--but this is not a Pelt imho. This is a CAC from a dig. More than likely a CAC “Striped Transparent” that did not quite make it past inspection. You called me out Fire—here I am. . It is a very nice-although beat up, CAC imho I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

Let me help here, The amber color of slag’s from all makers varies so much that it is ridiculous. This involves handmade, early machine made/hand gathered, along with the more simple machine made variations. The amount of white involved in the slag itself also has a trick to fool the eye. Orange or Peach colored slag’s are a very rare find. I do not doubt that these may have been variations of what was intended to be amber. I have been searching for a true Akro “Orange” slag for many years—I still have not fooled myself. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

That is a nice looker mccracken! I deserves a look from @I'llhavethat1 and @Chad G.. I will call them out. Marble--On!!

Good eye Fire! The colors are cool though! Marble--On!!

You may be right on Fire! Marble--On!!

I get it-I can never find mine either. Oh Boy!--if this one was mint? The sky would be the limit. It is a Killer Pelt(Ketchup, and Mustard imho.) 25 years ago it would have been called a "Miller Machine Marble". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

There were/are--very few companies that made/make these big ones. I looked and looked for an ID--no luck imho. The best that I could come up with is a Vacor--from Mexico—probably a “Picasso”. It could be a version of some from Asia. The thing with these big ones is that they do not act the same when being made as the smaller versions. You may find some really great ones and you may find some like yours with multiple folds and less than desirable colors. The sheen comes from a spray that was used on the marbles once they were on the rollers being “rounded”. This is why “Picasso” is a bad ID imho. This is not a great marble—but a fun ID for sure. I appreciate you showing it—let’s see some more—I just love this stuff! Marble—On!!

It may be a "beach marble". Believe it or not there are folks that collect these. From the actual oceans beaches to the Great Lakes. I cannot make a proper ID here. (it may be an Akro"Imperial) Marble--On!!
-
Yes, I agree. I was always surprised that this type, with the lighter green did not get a name for themselves. Marble--On!!
-
@Chad G. is into this stuff as well. I will tell you this much--Images with two or three marbles are more easily identified. Get some images together and get ready for some info. @I'llhavethat1 and @Chad G. will love to look more closely. I may forgeting a few--add them if you know them folks. Marble--On!!

Nice marble Joe 2! Just for kicks—check this one under UV light. I have never seen a “Popeye Patch” with these colors but I would like to see the results for sure. Marble—On!!
-
I think that you may have a not so lazy Vitro "All Red" there. Marble--On!!
-
Nicer images for sure! More opiions are needed. Perhaps @Mojo will chime in here. Marble--On!!
-
This is a great looking "Andy"--top shelf if the other side is Mint (green?). These two are a nice find for sure! Marble--On!!
