I agree--nice slags! Marble--On!!

That is a nice marble and well worth collecting imho. I hope that you get some more input. Marble--On!!

Not a Popeye my marble collecting friend. "Killer Corkscrew" works for me--Just "Killer" Marble--On!!

Yes, it has been. It will do this and then fire up again. Until it fires up--you will have to deal with me--LOL, I check this place twice or three times a day. This is the only place that I post---I just love this stuff and this place. There may be a big show rearing it's head. Folks get fired up for that. Marble--On!!

Your first image is really the only “true image” Lastfling. Here is the thing with Akro “Sparklers”. I think that many get locked in to a certain look and certain color combos. I advise you to research the full boxes that are in collections, rare but available to see and inspect on the interweb and a few books as well. This is where books come in handy. Most of the books are older, when boxes like these were “more available”. Many of these boxes have passed hands since these books were printed but the farther back you go with boxes—the better. The color combos that you may find in the research may make you think that the one on the right may be an Akro imho. This is just my opinion and I always respect the opinions of others. Marble—On!!

This is a very nice Akro Corkscrew---nice find!! A very nice marble!! Count the colors and let us know how many. I see three or four counting the white--of course. Marble--On!!

Plenty of "good ones". Nice score! Marble--On!!

This one is a swirl. Marble--On!!

The first one??? If you need a name for the second--"Cardinal Red"---- just my opinion. Marble--On!!

This is still a tuff one--It may be a corkscrew--I cannot commit over 50%. Marble--On!!

This is one "Killer" MCS imho wormie. This type--- in these colors-- often had some Oxblood involved--look close! Nice marble! Marble--On!!

I agree, this looks like a nine. Research MFC with nines --or others that were handgathered and you will get a better idea. Many slags have "nines" and many different companies produced them. A whole lot of them were machine made--it just they way of machine made marble production. You will get a feel for them once you have seen enough of them. I know that you will get there. Experience and "in hand" will tell the tale. Keep on collecting and keep on learning---this is the way. Marble--On!!

@wvrons has said just latety that a 9/16" Vitro is an odd thing--it looks like it has to be an Akro. ( I listen and read--thanks Ron!) Marble--On!!

I was researching Cats earlier today. Something about the blue opposite the yellow sticks as a foreign made cat. Marble—On!!

Yep! Nice one that second one! Marble--On!!

I agree. The one to the left of it is a Vitro imho. The other two?? Marble--On!!

The upper right hand one may be an Akro--or not. The cutlines need more imaging on this one. The rest are WVS imho and need some input from the WVS folks. Marble--On!!

No guesses from me. They are worth a “BUMP” These are all WVS in my opinion. The lower left may just be a Jabo. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

These are all WVS imho. I will admit that I searched the Vacor site for the one on the lower left. It looks like an "Arctic Bear" that has not been "frosted". Vacors will fool the best--not all of them came with names and many came in a mixed lot in a pouch/net. I enjoy researching Vacor marbles. It is a long story but it became an obsession. Perhaps I will start a new brain link and be able to name them all on sight---not likeley but I still try. Vacor has made some great marbles! Marble--On!!

The top two are Masters imho. The top left does remind me of a certain Vitro though. The bottom two may be Akro. You have to follow the cut-lines—not just the colors and the way that they may spread to a point. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

This one is a Jabo "Classic" imho. A production made marble from Jabo. ( I still think jaahhbow instead of jaybo, old habits are hard to change---blame the nuns from years past--they beat it into me--pronunciation) Marble--On!!

Happy WVS Wednesday to you all! Marble--On!!

Yep—these are tuff ones but I bet they glow like heck—pretty cool that. The upper left may just be a swirl. The upper right shows a nice big CAC like cutoff in the last image. The lower left is either a Peltier or an Akro imho. The lower right---no clue. I looked and gave an opinion, I hope to see some more opinions. Marble—On!!

The top left appears to be “Handgathered”—no maker from me. The top right---maybe a slag but I lean towards swirl here—a backlit image of this one may reveal it more. Lower left—Akro slag—nice one. Lower right—I may just sort this one as a Peltier. These are my opinions and I hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
