Left to right-- Master, Master, Akro--imho. Nice looking patches! All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

Yikes! Great marble! I do not know what else I would call it. Marble--On!!

Master with this one. Me too.

All three are Pelts. The one on the right is a nice one. Marble--On!!

Five. There are some with less and some with more. Akro Sparklers are machine made marbles and they may have an unwritten rule with collectors but they are still marbles that may have, or may not have, met the expectations’ of collectors. Master Made Marbles will not have five colors in the opinion of most collectors but they as well are machine made marbles that may have four or less----or more than four colors as well. This is the way of machine made marbles. Marble—On!!

Cullet always opens your eyes! Thanks again to all of the diggers past and present. Marble--On!!

Yes, do it and get as many opinions as possible. Marble--On!!

Good post Pittsburgh. I have collected all of my life--old cool stuff that was in my opinion--just “old cool stuff”. It started with furniture that was defunct is most opinions, given the prices that I paid back in my auction attending days. None of my family before me or any current family ever "collected"--anything at all. I am the odd duck. My older Brother is into collecting cars—but that has its limits. He was always been a mechanic, I am just a fixer (my wife says that I can fix anything). History was always a fascination with me. I really wanted to grow up and be an anthropologist. This is a thing that never happened and it is not so surprising, because people are not my thing—just not my thing. I love my fellow human race but I do not like being around them—for too long anyhow. I have collected so many things that I would bore you to list them. Marbles caught me and they have held me for about 30 years now. I cannot explain it. I still pick up the occasional “cool old thing “once in awhile though. My only other interests are gardening and bird watching—life long interests. The odd thing with me is –once I have it, I have no problem passing it on to the next—or the next (even my hard grown vegetables’). My display is small and it consists of boxes mainly. I sold some marbles years ago—just not my thing. For whatever reason—I just love Akro Agate glass—it is hard to part with for me—but I will sooner than later. My kids, grandkids and great grandkids would be overwhelmed. I have more respect for marbles and marble collectors than I do for money—oh well. If I ever go to another show, I may well set up a free table and pass it all on to the next generation. On to the next—pass them along! Marble—On!!

I posted this one in another thread yesterday. It took me so much time that it is worth another shot here. I think that it is a game marble with pollution—but it swirls---and it is a peewee. Marble—On!!

Dithering--great word! I will continue as well----dithering---at least here someone will set me straight. Marble--On!!

Nice job Mojo! What is the very first one--killer marble--they all are of course. Marble--On!!

Nice find Melissa--not an Akro but a hand-gathered "Japanese" transitional. I have read some postings just lately about some Canadian marbles—I wonder if? Nice find— Marble—On!!

OK schmoozer--now I see it--Good call for sure. Marble--On!!

Here I go again--quoting myself.

Nice stuff Ron Marble--On!!

You did well Mercy to get any Id's on these. Great images and numbered as well. Work less in the future and give us three or four marbles at a time with multiple images. It gives you and us here a greater chance at a positive ID. Welcome Mercy---show some more!! Marble--On!!

It could be Ric--good call. Lets all agree that the top left is a PPP---or? Patches are hard--no doubt. Marble--On!

Hey Ric, I must have hit enter just a second before you--good call by the way---JINX Marble--On!!

That is one killer cork marboman! Marble--On!!

Hello Newton, Welcome to the "MarbleConnection". We all hope to see some more of your marbles posted for our pleasure to look at and for ID as well. You will get the best from all of us here--always. There is only one color in slag marbles. Red, green, blue, purple, yellow, etc etc etc--all include white. Yours may be a CAC but more images are needed of the cutoff line. As it stands, with the images that you provided, it is an Akro--a nice one--red imho. Akro "Cardinal Red"--nice marble! I appreciate all opinions and hope for some more. Marble--On!!

I knew it Ron--Good job!--mushy or not!! Marble--On!!

Nice colors! Marble--On!!

Just regarding the original Post There are folks that collect “Turkey looking “marbles and the first one may apply. It is a WVS—not a CAC imho. More help is needed with the ID or maker from the WVS experts. The “Snotty” is a very collectable name for reasons unknown to me. In this day and age it may be a “snotty” looking marble—just not a CAC imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope for some more Booger---oops -- Marble on!!

I agree, everything that I see says Vitro--including the rust marks. Some rust marks should just stay. Nice one! Marble--On!!

It is hard for me to imagine even a fold in an MFC. This is a very nice looking marble--maybe you convinced me. Marble--On!!
