I think that you are showing 3-4 different runs and periods of “Michelangelo”---one of the most collectable Vacors--all are nice examples. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Size??—do they glow?? Nice marbles!! Marble—On!!
-
I agree--Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

MFC on the left--Akro on the right. Nice big well filled marbles--just mho on the makers. They sure look like the same maker color wise. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

It is hard to tell the base glass on this one, I will give you that. Nice bright white—I can lean towards CAC on this one. Marble—On!!
-
Just sayin!! Marble--On!!

Hmmm, I do not see any red names. I just see"supporting members" in red under the names. It must be a monthly thing or something like that. I support but I just throw some cash at the sight once in awhile--it all helps. If there is a better way--I would like to know as well. Marble--On!!

Foreign maker from Europe imho. A nice big one. Not lashes at all—it has been said and I agree. Still a nice looking marble!! Marble—On!!

Ohhh--That is a lot of marbles William. I will just bet that when you started this dig that you were hoping to find one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsSuueEGQSM This song will be stuck in hy head all day--I like to share😁. Marble--On!!

Welcome Rolf, Please feel free to post in the ID section. There are a number of European collectors that frequent this sight and they can help with many that you may have found in your home country. Post two or three marbles at a time and take multiple shots of the marble. Size is important as well. We all love a good ID ask here and look forward to you participation. Once again a most hardy welcome and of course--- Marble--On!!

I am thinking Akro with this one--Nice marble! All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!!
-
Ohhh, that is a very good blurry image. Master "Sunburst" Marble--On!!
-
This is a weird but cool one one. I think cateye is a good ID--which maker??. Marble--On!!
-
That is a nice lot of marbles. All the same colors for sure. I would venture to say that there are three different makes involved---well at least two. I am far from a WVS expert and these need further investigation from the masses. Marble--On!!
-
I do not think that they are from the"same run". The last one is more than likely an Alley Agate. The first one could be one of many, maybe even a Champion?? All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!!
-
Thanks all!! Marble--On!!
-
The last image is not a USA made marble imho. If these came together in a bunch----well??? Nice find!! Marble--On!!
-
any one know the story on this one? " Beaver Falls Pa"
akroorka replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I would consider this a rare Akro. PM me for an email address if you really want to know. Marble--On!! -
Master or Akro imho although Vitro is a good case for argument. We are all used to seeing or hearing that Master Made marbles are “earth-toned”. This is not always the case. Master had some bright colors in their palette as well. The cutline’s look like classic Master but that does not mean that Akro did not produce “patches” with similar cutline’s. It is not a Vitro imho but it sure has those colors----- I will call it a Master Made marble. This is a tuff one. Marble—On!!

The hands crossed bottle is just killer. The stone with the included bone like structure is as well. Who cannot appreciate some dino-turds and petrified wood as well. You are in a great find William—keep diggin! Thanks for sharing all of your finds. Keep on keep-in on.

This is just another cool corkscrew. Call it what you want to. Notice the spiral in the clear base. I could swear that Akro Agate had a machine running that they just threw colors into wishing for the best result. There are just too many to categorize. Another great cork!! Marble-On!!.

It wants to be an Akro but I believe that it is an Alley Agate. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

Well—it is “Peltier Tuesday” and why not ask for a Peltier opinion?? These shots are under very intense light. In hand, under a very bright handheld torchlight, it is as black as black can be. I found this one while getting some others ready for “Peltier Tuesday” in my “Pelt stash”. I still think, after all those years, that it may be a Pelt@ 9/16”. Give me your best shot!! ( it is not a Jabo—I refuse that from the start👇) Marble—On!!

This one makes you think. Have you ever seen a “Feathered” “Clearie”? The first image shows a backlit shot with flash. Notice the “feathering” in the base glass which is almost pink with the backlight. I just wonder what was going on with the Pelts “feathered” slag’s. The next two images are just shots of the same nicely “feathered” ‘purple” Pelt slag which is closer to 9/16” than it is to 5/8”, it would have probably been sorted as 5/8”. “Backlight them all” and of course---Pelt “feathered” slag’s just rock! Sorry Fire—this one was not in the “grab”. Marble—On!!

I can see why---that is a great looking marble. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!
