Hmmmm, I just found this today while doing a walk around an old junk yard. Anyone interested? Dream on😁. Marble--On as well!

I was checking my WVS hoard today for some Ravenswood marbles to ID and as always I got distracted. The first row of two images is backlit.( pretty cool huh?) Ignore the orange reflection on the upper right hand on the final two rows of two. It was too chilly in the basement today so I was out of my lighting realm. This one is 5/8” and I think that it is a nice Champion. As always, when I ID a WVS I need a little help. I appreciate any and all opinions. No UV reaction. Backlight them all!! Marble—On!!

Well, We here have had Williams weather today. I cleaned up the snow by guiding the snow-blower chute away from me and straight up to the 40 mile an hour winds that took it about 50 feet away into nothing. I actually worked up a sweat, too many layers? After a shower, I went to refill my gas can, one layer, and about froze my butt off. The pumps were going so slow that I only got 2.5 gallons in my five gallon can. I used to go ice-fishing in this stuff without a worry—age is setting in. My driveway is cleaner than any road that I was on today—south facing black asphalt rules! My dogs like to snuggle in this weather, just like a heating blanket next to you. I don’t mind a bit🐶.

Yes , I could absorb 4-5 of these into my collection. Very nice!! Marble--On and Wind Chill on as well🥶.

These that I posted are Master Glass “Brushed glass marbles” white on blue. A beautiful thing to hold and look at, great deep blue color, they also made other colors of these and the red one is killer as well. They may look a bit different from yours but they are marbles and anything can happen. Vitro Agate made a dark blue with white, with this big glob of amorphous white opaque stringy glass with a few different colors of transparent based glass—danged if I can remember the name—but they had one. As always, all opinions are welcomed and appreciated---and needed as well. Marble—On!!

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!!

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!!
