Nice find for sure. If you want any tips on removing the tape from the box give me a hollar in a Personal Message. Marble--On!! -
This is a weird one Fire. The damage looks like it was "well cooked" and annealed. A keeper for sure. Marble--On!!

I will just add that the term "mushrooms" is new to me and that these colors do show up in Akro patches and corks as well. I like it--Japanese mushrooms--eat em up for sure. I would love to see more of these "mushrooms" if any one has any images or links. Nice marble--Fire

The second set of images are imho –left to right. A possible Peltier” Red Zebra” more images are needed of this one. This one is nice collectable marble and three or four images are needed. Next to it is a Vacor “Fiesta “. The third set of images are a ”Vacor “Volcano” and a Vacor “Picasso”. I am pretty sure of the Vacors. I agree with ann on the first one—nice!! This is the way to do it my marble collecting friend. Sizes also matter. Marble—On!!

Hello GetulaHunter, You will have better success getting these ID'd if you post 3-4 at a time. I looked over the images and they are mixed up a bit which makes it confusing for most of us. King snakes? Marble--On!!
-
No Name Fire, a cool looking patch type that could be an Akro IMHO. Wierd base glass--is it opal? Marble--On!!

Nope Nope Nope

Nice marble Gladys. It looks hand-gathered to me. The two images on the left, the bottom one--- I think may be a pinch pontil. No ID from me. Marble--On!!

Thanks Ron. Thumb pot --On!!

OK, I was close and will step up to the plate. Here is something new to the blurry game—a blurry under UV light. I used one of those cool pocket UV lights that Steph had posted about, glued a plastic marble holder on the top ring and here is the result. Good luck and marble—On!!

Welcome ----"back" browncat73. I hope that you are on the mend and I wish you a swift recovery. I will say Champion but I suck at WVS ID. All opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

Join the club my friend--why do you think that we need more images? Bring them on!! Marble--On!!

Sorry Lastfling I spelled out Corn when it should have been Carnelian. I am a Cornelian freak and it shows😁. marble--On!!

Nice batch Jzoook6. I just love the Akro marbles--these look very nice--great image as well!! Marble--On!!
-
These I would call Jabo--- Of course all opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
-
I cannot make out what it says on the bottom. Maybe @wvrons will give his opinion here. He has a nice collection of both makers. Braun and Corwin or the like is a nice find for sure. Marble--On!!
-
This is a tuff one, it almost looks foriegn but older. If I had to choose between the two choices--Akro. Marble--On!!
-
Silver Oxbloods? nice!! Marble--On!!
-
This one is an Akro Carnelian. The rest may just be "Ringers" or "Imperials" The thumb pot may be Alley—or Akro—nice find regardless. Marble—On!!
-
The first two sets of images I do not recognize at all—WVS?? The third set looks like either Vacor “Werewolves” if brown based—Possible “Thunderbolts’ if black based. The rest I would call jabo. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

You did well this year for sure hrjane. This is just a great job of hunting these addictive little orbs. They all stick out to me for one reason or another. It is great to see that they are still “Out There”. I----Love—just love the “Bricks”. Keep the images coming!!! Marble---On!!! -
Yes, this is an Akro corkscrew—not a slag, WVS or any other. One image looks like it has a signature---eyelashes that look to say AA to me—😍. This one is 5/8” and would be a hard ID for those new to the hobby/addiction and I do not blame them for selling it so cheap in the lot that it came with---😘. The last set of images is for @Fire1981. Backlight them all and hit them with some UV while you are at it—you just never know until you do. Marble--On!!
