Not all Jabos had AV or UV invloved. I am thinking that this one is a "Contact Run Marble". I would love to know which one. @Nantucketdink may know. It is a real nice one. Marble--On!!

Yes Ric, I was there too untill I purchased a box of these. Akro "Tricolored Patch" for sure. They sure do look like they may be a Vitro. Marble--On!!

It is a nice looking marble regardless of the maker. Size matters here. Marble--On!!

My first thought was Vacor and at a peewee size kinda strange for sure. I have not been able to come up with a Vacor name for these. Marble--On!!

I blew up that image of the second in from the right and fixed the image a bit. Is that dark streak red or brown? Marble--On!!

I would sort them all as Master Made Marbles. Ric is right on as well, very similar, these all match nice, I like a matched set of three. I appreciate all opinions. Marble--On!!

This one may be a Pelt but I am thinking MK with this one. A weird one yes, just my instincts here. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

I would take a stab(after I made an offer)--just because I have never seen them before. I like the weird stuff. Marble--On!!

Your tin looks pretty nice right now. Your pouch does not look too bad either. You can find these tins in a variety of conditions. I have bought the faded paint ones back to some nice life using this stuff. It removes no paint, leaves the images alone and puts a shine on it like—well you know. https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Glass-Polish-Pre-Cleaner-Bottles/dp/B09QY12PK5/ref=sr_1_9?crid=ALWUTXLFDUQ2&keywords=liquid+glass+polish&qid=1671730930&sprefix=liquid+glass+polish%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-9 Take your time and use a microfiber cloth or three. Q-tips help it in the harder areas and a nice soft artists brush is good to have on hand. Gently polish, do not use too much pressure. Start where you will not notice it first in case the recipe for this product has changed. The stuff I have is still in a tin can so you never know. These Akro pouches can be a bugger. They were made with cowhide and buckskin and one that I came across had both. If it is buckskin, I would ask your local drycleaner. Marble—On!!

One of those really big MFC amber slags would make me smile😁. Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

The one on the left may be a Vitro, the one on the right??? The four in the middle may be Akro or Master, this type is hard to separate between the two. Marble—On!!

I marked one in your Peltier row that may be an late Akro.

I have always thought that these "sky blue patches" were Akro Agates--I may be wrong. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

OK Tommy--nice one! I think that I had the most bad ID's. I stiil suck at WVS ID. Thanks for reminding me😁. You go again or pick someone. Marble--On!!

X2 Chad. Marble--On!!

Here is a Black Akro Ashtray, part of another company’s line of popup cigarettes novelties. I have had this one for some time, the cigs were more like a buck 50 back then---yuck. You can backlight this glass and it will shine through—as black—only black. Akro—On!!

I am not a Vet although I was planning on it in 1973, my senior year in High School (Nixon did something right) but my daughter is a vet. Imagine knowing that your daughter is flying in a helicopter over Iraq during the worst of times. This is a salute to her. Swarovski on!! (she is a Swarovski rep, but still serving our country as well) Salute to you my favorite Daughter!! A Swarovski marble!!

You are a very patient man my marble collecting friend. I love my kids, but ten straight days----after I retired? Marble--On!!

You are about as close as it can get. The last one is just twisted up imho. Good job. All opinions are appreciated. Marble--On!!

Peltier Peanut Butter and Jelly--really? My eye goes right to the white based WVS in all of the images--Just a Killer Marble--lets see some more of that one. What is it--Really? Marble--On!!

Merry Christmas to you all this week. Let’s dedicate some of our best marbles and images to the Veterans that made this year a possibility for us all. This is a simple Akro corkscrew in olive drab and white. These often show some flakes of AV—really just flakes in green that were not mixed well in the batch glass—but I will call it AV because it is so rare in Akro marbles. Rarer still, is my Grandfather on the right with his two brothers who fought in WW1. I know he made it back, Mustard gas and all. He was a “Horse shoe-er”. The other brothers were never spoken of—little was ever spoken about the “Big” war. He coughed a lot and was a great fisherman. Salute!! Marble—On!!

Good stuff--I hope to remember it. Marble--On!

Last one==right #5--maybe I spent too much--not the first time--lol Marble--On!!

Well, I never thought Vacor on these. The "blue version" will have to be posted for an ID. This is why I rarely comment on a WVS ID--I thought Champion😁. Close--same country🙈. Marble--On!!
