There are not many WVS makers left--this one is surrounded. I will say Champion, one of two left for a guess I think. Marble--On!!

I would sort the bottom two as Akro. All machine made slags and swirls will show up with a "nine" now and then. Just a part of the process of a glob of glass falling and twisting a bit. There is a Master Made posted today that shows some of this. The "tail" on the bottom right is not uncommon to find either, just a stretched out bit o white imho. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

Backlight a few images. Marble--On!!

That is one that I cannot recall seeing before. I agree, not a Peltier or a Jabo. Ric may be onto something with CAC. I paged through the book "Collecting Early Machine-made Marbles by Robert S.Block and there a few pictured that are close. Marble--On!!

Imperial sounds good to me. A nice big one. Marble--On!!

If you have never seen it before –buy it

Thanks for sharing that. Very cool. Now I have seen two that are one of a kind--love it. Marble--On!! -
I should break a few open just for a fun reaction to posts--one image--enough said.

I woke up at 10 degrees this morning; the dogs appreciated a blanket after I took them out. I have an enclosed kennel with a fully enclosed tarp attached to my garage, more for my wife than the dogs. It was 18 degrees inside of it with no ice or snow to fall, slip, or break a leg/hip on. It is just the small things that matter, like 8 degrees🥶.

I do not always trust cutoff marks but this is what I see. The flow of the glass may fool you here. I always appreciate the opinions of others. I will stick with Akro. Marble—On!!

Yikes--I asked for it didn't I--- I think that you have an Akro there. Just my opinion and I do appreciate them all. Marble--On!!

I believe in the old collectors saying”if you have never seen it before –buy it”. I collect marble pouches and have never seen anything close to this before, never with a clasp at the top or the images that I describe. I believe that there may be an African American boy in the image as well, at least one maybe two—cool image/print for sure—very rare. I mean no disrespect in my terminology and I believe that this is a respectful term and use it as such. Tell me if you have ever seen such a thing and I will surely appreciate it. Marble—On!!

Hey, I just got some more today-- I do not expect that you thought that you would see these marbles on a vintage marble experience like The Marble Connection, the oldest marble board in existence. Why Not? Collect what you like. Like what you collect. They are marbles and they have a provenance. I just fell in love with these little buggers from Vacor and I do collect them, especially in original packaging. I have a few more to get but that is collecting. Low end or high end—collect them if they make you happy. These make me happy! Marble—On!!

Well, I got a big image of it up on the screen, backed up a bit and there it was. Jabo Classic. Marble--On!!
-
I will PM you--Thanks
-
I will just say why not Jabo and leave it there. Marble--On!
-
I would like to see more of that football shaped one--tis the season! Marble--On!!
-
As I recall the original Superman TV show was in Black and White for a few shows--Maybe it was just our TV😁. Marble--On!!

Beauty is in the eye of the person holding the marble. I agree that a nice clear base with just white can be stunning. Marble on and keep what is pretty for sure!!

Nice marble that Frosted Vacor Michaelangelo, I like em too. My favorite marbles are usually Akro Agates but today I was gazing into a Peltier "Muddy". So for right now, that is my favorite--until I pick up the next one😁. Marble--On!!
-
Killer set Carowill--what nice deep black in those two. Marble--On!!
-
OOps almost at once Ric--Good point!

I would sort this one as an Akro. The amount of white involved with these really makes them look different from one another--green-wise; some look quite dark compared to yours. Nice marble-- Marble--On!!
