Lets see what @Nantucketdink Has to say. Thanks all !! Marble--On!!

It sure is Ric.....Is it a Pelt trying to be a cat eye or a cateye tring to be a Pelt? Or--maybe one of those "newer" MK's that always throw me off-- Regardless--nice marble! Marble--On!!

Thanks cheese! Heaton it is--but--is it a slag😁? Marble--On!!

Nice one Fire!!---Yep!! Marble--On!!

I cannot call the first one on the left. The middle one is a stone cut agate—not glass. Look for facets. The third is a Vitro “Conqueror” of a weird and very nice design. Of course more opinions are needed and are always welcomed. Marble—On!!

LOL---- I always love a non committal answer from a respected member. I am still on the fence with this one. Marble—On!!

This one is a Master Marble "Sunburst". A great looking and very old marble. Just mho-- More opinions are needed and welcomed. Nice find!! Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a Pelt Fire. Marble--On!!

I disagree. I have always been a slag vs swirl guy. This one is on the fence for me and it always has been. This color combo is just a weird and rare one imho. Thanks Ric! Marble--On!!

Ummmm?? I am not getting the green thing. It is a "Brick" imho. Marble--On!!

Send it to Wisconsin for a final eval---. Marble--On!!

I have no problem calling this one an Akro. Just a great example imho. Very pretty!! More opinions are always welcomed. Marble--On!!

Never regret a good pass on a bad deal--or a good one for that matter. We have all been there-done that! Just continue to-- Marble--On!!

This is one of my favorite color combos. I am quite sure at ¾” that they are Jabo contracts—I may be wrong—correct me as you may. For $5 a piece I am in all day. I just like them--enough said. I just realized that I do not have a Jabo folder on my hard drive--it is done,done, done, done!! Marble—On!!

You know what--I agree--it may be a Pelt--Nice one--no names from me. Marble--On!!

This is just one of those Mk's imho. Nice one though-- More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

Yep! Marble--On!!

Obviously Fire. I will lean towards—sorry no lean here--- Nice find! Marble—On!!

This one is a slag imho--Akro--Maybe--- Marble--On!!

At ¾” I would usually just defer to this one being a Jabo—but it has a weird finish like that of a later Champion. You know, that weird misted on shiny metallic finish. This type of finish has always been hard for me to capture in an image. I have looked at this one for many months and have yet to get a grip on it. Regardless of the maker—it is a beauty! I need some opinions here on the maker. I just love the marble—my kind of stuff for sure. Nice and round and very minty!!(The oxblood makes my blood boil!) I just love this stuff!! Marble—On!!

Dwarfed does not mean a bad thing--selective is a good thing. I have a selective collection that is dwarfed by those that I do not collect. Dwarfed does not mean a bad thing--selective is a good thing. I have a selective collection that is dwarfed by those that I do not collect. This is the way! Marble—On!!

I do not believe it and I would never believe it. Antique dealers do not keep their collections in-store—ever. This type of marble were dug and collected as such. Not to say that they were not marketed but as I recall there were a fair amount of these found in the ground. Size always matters! I have been there and I usually win--I have passed on things that I wished I would have purchased. This is collecting, let your heart tell the truth. The fact that you are asking is a good thing. Like I said--size matters, condition as well. Wet mint @ 1"--I might go for it. One little flea bite knocks it down to about $75. Of course you will have to consdider any work that has possibly been done to it--bring a lupe and a light and study it, if she objects--walk away. Marble--On!!

The bottom image--the left one on the bottom row, is as I suspected. A nice Akro Agate corkscrew. The same image and row—the middle one. This one needs it’s own post and attention imho Marble—On!!

The left hand one is very nice--check it for UV reaction--it may be an Alley. The right hand one is a Raven imho. More opinions are needed--for sure. Marble--On!!

The right hand one is more than likely a Vacor “Mummy”. The left hand one is a Vacor “Black Panther”, these come in a variety of patch colors with a black base. Nice marbles and images as well-- Marble—On!!
