X4--Nice ones! Marble--On!!

Agreed--at least from the book images. Backlight them all is my motto!! Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

I am right there with Ric. (if it was mine I would set it aside as a very bizzaro Akro--lol) Nice Marble! Marble--On!!

#1. “dug marbles” These were either discarded as “non production types” (experimental) or “discards’” (those that did not meet general production standards) #2 There are many collectors that sell and few sellers that do not collect. This hobby/addiction takes too much research to just sell. If you find an informed seller—he/she is a collector of one type or another that is she/he willing to part with one type to get cash for another that he/she collects? There are many collectors that have turned into great sellers because of the knowledge that they have collected over the years along with the followers that they have achieved over the years because of their reputation. These sellers will sell yours for you with a kickback of course. #3 Natural stone agates were the one to have over any glass back in the day. Glass out priced them and the glass marbles became more popular because of the price and as far as I have researched, the bright colored “solids” were the most popular after the demise of the stone agates. I appreciate all opinions on this subject, these are my personal observations from the research that I have done. Marble—On!!

Nope-never heard of them. Marble--On!!

Nice Akro Fire! Marble--On!!

Akro--Nice one! Marble--On!!

The lower right is an Akro The upper right is a Master The upper left is a Master This is where it gets tuff The lower left is an Imperiel from Asia. Marble--On!!

If these are Akro--I believe that they are--PM Me for a trade--LOL. I have a use for them. Marble-On!!

The thing is with this type of patch is that we associate the cutoff marks with the cutoff of color. The cut off marks are not always associated with the cut off---of the colors. You have to look deep into the lines of the glass to really get the cutoff marks sometimes. I could call this one an Akro "Hero type" based on what I looked at under heavy personal investigation via my image software. It may well be a Master---just my humble opinion. All opinions’ are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!!

I am just not seeing Jabo here. In any of them. Out of round the last may be--not an indicator for me with WVS. Marble--On!!

WOW! You have either picked out the very best "Alox Swirls" that I have ever seen --or they are something else--I suck at WVS ID. Nice images! Nice Amber based marbles!! Marble--On!!

I agree no slags here. WVS is a possibilty--no maker from me. Marble--On!!

The upper left needs some more shots--it may be an "Imperial". The rest are Master imho-good job Melissa! Of course--- all opinions are regarded as needed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

9/16" is a rare Akro imho--even more rare in a Master. More opinions are needed. Marble--on!!

All four are WVS--no Jabo here. More opinions are needed for sure.( the lower left may be a Champion) Marble--On!!

All three are Vitro--the right hand one may get an argument and I welcome it. I appreciate any and all!! Marble--On!!

German or Masters?-That kind of narrows it down. No Masters here--Master rarely will some any bad seams like this even in the late years of production. German--I doubt it for the same reason. Melissa's idea--I agree with. Marble--On!!

Common WVS imho Marble-On!!

X2--Nice ones!! Marble--On!!

X4--Love it!! Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On

The front right is just a screwed up marble that may just be a Pelt---or not. The top right is a WVS--not a pelt imho--It may have a name--lol I agree with the rest--no Vacor here however. I apprecaite all opinions and these do need some more. Marble--On!!

Size alway matters. The upper right hand one is just not quite the same as the other three. I would sort these as either Akro or Master--the yellow color tells the tale for me--not the bubbles. I apprecaite all opinions and hope for some more. Marble--On!!
