This is not a CAC. Alley would be my best guess. Sistersville is out of my realm on any ID. Lets ask @cheese for an opinion. @cheese along with others has a new book coming out soon regarding WVS. Marble--On!!

It is not an Akro Sparkler--nuf said. It does look like an English (UK) made marble imho. Bloody cool damage with this one. It took a beating and kept on ticking. Marble--On!!

This one looks like an Alley Agate to me. Lets get some more opionions. Marble--On!!

I have a few boxes ready to open--for a long, long, time. It does take some patience on my part, but I do pretty well. I wait for a special period to open them--it just gets me going once again. I just love this stuff. Thankfully my trading partners know this from me--Patience on my part. It is the key to collecting anything. Wait and be rewarded--it will come for sure. Marble--On!!

@Mojo? We all appreciate your opinions here. Marble--On!!

Like I said Alan, I do not know Hand-made marbles and the terminology involving them. We will both agree that this one was once a cool marble that had some work done to it. Hand-made vs Machine-made terminology is just different from what it should be in all of our minds. It (the marble) was saved, and it is deserving of some of what we are visiting here together. A re-worked marble—not an original finish. Still not too shabby imho. Thanks for the info and this may be an enlightening post for many involving the machine-made vs the hand-made Polishing info that many may not have found elsewhere. You keep me on my toes, and I appreciate it. I just love this stuff—learning from others. Marble—On!!

Sunburst? Well not quite--maybe a run of the mill. The thing is with Master vs Asian is not just the seams but the glass and the construction as well. A few folds here and there will push it towards an Asian made. The finish on the seams will always push it towards a Master for me. Not Master Glass but Master Made. This one has a few as-made little indents or inverse little bubbles that I associate with Master made marbles. The pocket wear is what I would expect to see in a Master. Master Made Marbles made some of the finest ever to compete with the Stone agates that all glass marble makers were competing with at the time. They held up to a lot of abuse. It is hard to find a really beat up Master Made Marble in my experience . This is all of course my humble opinion. Marble—On!!

Lets see what @Mojo has to say here. Marble--On!!

I have looked at this one plenty of times. I just had to chime in🙃. It is a Master Made Marble imho. Marble--On!!

It is still out of round Alan that is why I will stick with buffed. Maybe "heavily buffed"😁. I consider a polished marble to be quite round and out of place in the scheme of things relevant to the original. I get what you are saying though-- Great opinion for sure Alan. I am not great at handmades. Just a play on words imho. Marble--On!!

Welcome Jon--to TheMarbleconnection. Show us what you have to offer and get involved in the discussions. @Chad G. @bumblebee and @akroorka all have your back in any post. We all love to see a new collector join our ranks here. Keep it clean and interesting--there are many "minors" who read these posts. Marble--On!!

Here I go --quoting myself again. This is very close to being an Exotic Conqueror--just consdider it for a moment or two. Marble--On!!

This is a corkscrew with a possible opalescence in the base glass. I am surprised at the glow for sure—very cool! Marble—On!!

Jabo on the first one ( Classic) and I agree with Cheese on the second one--Alley Agate. Marble--On!!

I agree with all that has be posted but I would consider Akro here for some reason. Just a gut feeling😁. Marble--On!!

I think that "Buffed" is the right word here. Marble--On!!

Killer marbles Melissa! Size? Marble--On!!

What Ric says X2. Marble--On!!

MK X2. Marble--On!!

Vitro X2. Vitro "All Red"?? Marble--On!!!

The very best that I have ever seen Melissa. Very Cool!! I have heard that these were not sold in the USA--only Europe. Tell us what you know. Marble--On!!

I am sure that some marble dude or dudess has made at least one named "Chrysanthemum" Cheese. Just keep looking and you will find it--fun stuff! Marble--On!!

Cool name Fire--is it a Vacor name? Cool Marble as well. It looks like recycled glass--the transparent. That pushes me towards it being an Asian made marble. Marble--On!!

That right hand one has some weird stuff imbedded--try a magnet and see what happens. Maybe old wax? Like I said before--try cleaning with mineral spirits. Pretty cool find! WVS imho. Marble--On!!

Waxy feel is a new one to me--maybe they were in a candle at one point in time. A quick soak in mineral spirits will clean them off ( I used to cross country ski and this is what we used to clean to old wax off--it works quick and easy). Marble--On!!
