I agree wth @Ric, The second one appears to be an Alley Agate with oxblood. The third one I think is a Vacor it reminds me of the "Swamp Thing Cateye" That Vacor made. The rest of your images are too dark for me to get involved with. You have it going here--just adjust and look before you post---- Marble--On!!

I do not want to step in here--great discussion--keep it clean though. Naming individuals that you may not agree with has no point in this conversation. I know what the OG in this post is—a great marble—probably pre WW2. The “very early” Akros were slags. Nuff said. Marble—On!!

Yep--they are both foreign imho. I think from some Asian country—not Mexico. They are nice marbles regardless of the ID—just not made in the good ole USA. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

Vitro--both imho. Lets as @Melissa for a final eval. Marble--On!!

It is a hard find--a true black marble. This one is dark blue but very cool. It is a WVS but I can not call it. @cheese has to be called in here. Marble--On!!

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

Bing Videos Thanks for the link--I just love this banjo version of a Led Zepplin piece. Rock on

Welcome curt to TheMarbleConnection. This is my best explanation. Any solid-colored marble that is found with iridescent qualities is more than likely made for the handmade crafts that are often sold at Flea markets or household sales regardless of the color involved and you will find them at the usual craft places. The iridescent qualities of these marbles is a worldwide thing and is sprayed on during the initial cooling while they are going down the rollers to be rounded. @Alan more than likely has a more involved description of this process and I will defer to him for a better explanation. Thanks for asking and of course--- Marble—On!!

Yes it does have that vibe but at this size--it is more than likely a jabo--jabo made tons of little ones. Marble--On!!

I consider this a good pass--the images are not enough--- Marble--On!!

I would sort it as an Older Master--pretty cool imho. You can just feel the Master quality and hardness--they almost feel like stone in hand with your eyes closed. Now, I may be trippin here but The old Master Mades just feel different🤢. Whatever---Marble--On!!😇.

This one is a Vitro. We all see the images online from the experts but the time that it takes to post and review images does not invlove "simpler versions". You may not find it in a book or in any Vitro Posts online--this is just the way. The colors and cutlines are Vitro---the yellow is a very good tell as well. A nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
I would say no but I agree with @Fire1981's assesment. A clear base Bo is just that--clear based--no colors involved in the clear or transparent base color. These "salmon" colored ones seen to be a tad harder to find for me. This is a nice marble--thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

Jabo X2--a "Classic"--or one made by the Jabo( "jaybo") factory made for world wide distrubution. Marble--On!!

Welcome Michelle, to "TheMarbleConnection". You started out on the right foot with some very nice images which all of us here appreciate. I for one look forward to you listing some more--there are no dumb questions here😁. Marble--On!!

Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" mindy227. Your images are too vague and if you cannot get an ID here from these images--you will never sell them online. I suggest taking a group image as best as you can and we can take it from there. Natural sunlight is the best way--keep them nice and close with the sharpest image that you can afford. That being said--if it seems like too much work---stick them in a cool old jar and ask $40. What you show is not too exciting imho. Thanks for sharing! Marble--On!!

I would call it an Akro "Imperial"--nothing to do with oxblood here. Altought some of the biggers oxbloods did show up in the same box. Research Akro Imperials or oxbloods in a box--you will find them involved. Some of the colors Akro made just did not mix well with oxblood--this is one of them. There are a few names out there for these--just not oxblood. These showed up in the bigger sizes more often than most Akro did. Nice marble non the less--- Marble--On!!
