I do not think that is a good way to age them, boxes are the best way to get an idea of age--if they are not backfilled. Alot of colors of Akroware has a glow to it. I just checked they wifes display and it seems that pink and jade green do not have the glow--small sample I know but worth checking on. Marble--On!!

To tell the truth--this one reminds me of an Akro "Lemon-drop". Not too common--an older collectors name--they usually have some more twist to them. Nice marble--Nice size. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

If I was collecting the Akroware instead of marbles--I would have a bunch of "amber"--I like it--even more now, thanks to your revelation. Good find!

Thanks for the offer. The truth is, my wife is not a big fan of amber pieces--I had to look like heck to find this one. It must have come too cheap to pass on😁. Each to their own👌. Marble--On!!

Nice ones!

That is a nice discovery. The glow, I never would have thought that amber had a glow to it. I had to run and see what the wife’s collection had in it. Here is a cool one. That was an excellent purchase. Marble—On!!

Don't rule out Champion with this one. Marble--On!!

It all depends on the monitor that you are using and the colors that it is showing with this one. I see all of the colors that wormie is describing along with a bit-o-white. I would not call this one a Jabo--WVS imho--no maker from me. I appreciate all opinions and welcome some more. Marble--On!!

I have seen those colors in a MK. This one is a little wonky. I suck at names but it worth a bump! Marble--On!!

Me too--nice looker! Marble--On!!

Vacor X2.

I am not sure about all of the colors of Acme Realors but the black ones are with opal base glass. Nice marble----PPP. Marble--On!!

The left one is a Vitro imho. The right one I would blame on MK, not so sure though. Could be a Vitro. Marble--On!!

That is a weird green color that I see in Vacor marbles alot. No idea really. Nice find. Marble--On!!

X2--nice red in that one. Marble--On!!

The red and white one could be a weak Vacor "USA". The other one is an obvious mistake, so hard to tell. (how did frog eggs get inside of a marble?😁) Marble--On!!

It looks like a MK to me--Nice find! "Backlight them all" is my motto. Marble--On!!

Yes they are. Marble--On!!

"Corals" are an argument type for sure. This is a collectors name as far as I know and no company marketed them as such imho. Several companies made them, including Champion, Alley and CAC and a few made them that did not intend on this color. They can vary quite a bit in coverage and base color such as transparent vs almost opaque and opaque as well. Zaboo posted some great images—(really great images) I just love them for sure! Zaboo was around when I was a rookie and I hope to see some more of this respected collectors' takes on the ID’s on this format, along with some more great images. I just collect anything that looks like it has a “coral” color to it and I could care less what company made them. (I suck at WVS ID, try and fail—but keep on going) The color is the thing to me—not the value. Here are a few that I have collected over the years. Marble—On!!

"Twisted with Blue Ribbons. Peltier Rainbo possibly? Thanks:)" This one took some work--great ID on your part. Marble--On!!

Yes, Champion made peewees. I wish that I could tell you that these are Champions but I cannot. All Peewee sized marbles are a rare find, even in the later makes and models. Nice find! Four of them is a great find! More opinions are needed on the maker. Marble--on!!

Nice story--love it! Keep it going and Marble--On!!

The OP is a WVS--no maker from me. No Pelt or CAC imho. Marble--On!!

Ummm, possible Pelt MCS? I respect all opinions. Marble--On!!

We all learn here, everyday! Keep on learning--- Marble On!!
