Hmmm, Ron knows his Davis marbles---show some more of this one Dano. Marble--On!!

Well it is a nice well filled WVS for sure--Maker.(maybe Champion just because of the fractures) Marble--On!!

I took another look and I will stick with Akro. As always all opinions are appreciated and welcomed/needed. Still a nice slag regardless. Marble--On!!

Still Akro imho(does it get any better?)--another nice one. Marble--On!!

Nice one! I would call it an Akro. Marble--On!!

There is some nice yolk in this one and besides that you can only ever see one side at a time. It might not be a cold roll mark but it sure could be a result of cold rollers and a very early part of a run. The marble just did not come together like it should have but the best side shines. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

That was a great ID Dano--keep it going. Marble--On!!

I would sort it as an Akro--Nice one. More opinions are always welcomed and needed. Marble--On!!

I am just judging by the blue light from the penlight and I will admit that I may be wrong here. Still, it is a nice Pelt marble and when you look back at the previous images it all of a sudden looks green instead of black—my bad. Marble—On!!

OK Lumbo, If you post any marbles under UV light---remember to say so. The more natural light is of course sunlight. White light is the best if it is too cloudy. The masses will not realize as much as the more experienced will. Ron called it on a previous post of game marbles by Dano3---great job Ron. This is a group of folks that will go from 40-50 years experience to under one month. You have to cut all of us a break in your images and tell us the lighting that you used. Your last images appear to have a UV influence to me.--Great images by the way. I will still call it a Peltier and the light that you show has some UV influence IMHO. Do not get me wrong, Pelt made marbles like this with a greenish base like you show. Nice find regardless. Try to get another penlight, yours is giving the wrong impression imho. Marble—On!!

Nice find, I would sort it as a Pelt Zebra--more images needed for sure. Crop them and get up close with good light--maybe some AV in this one. Marble--On!!

Imperialx3 Marble--On!!

Hmmm, almost an Alley Superman? Marble--On!!

Laugh Out Loud--this one deserves the words. Join the club, as a man, this has always been a reality--it does not get better--as a man at least. If you do not know Steph, I doubt that anyone does. This is just an opinion; I believe that Akro coffin boxes were a production and maybe a bonus at marble competitions. They may have been “saved” in any arena, but marble competitors did save a lot of what they were proud of, right to the end. This used to be big stuff—the competitions. It still is but just not the same. Here is a pouch that I have in my collection. Why was it kept so long---well, you know, special to someone and special to me as well. Marble—On!!

A lot of game marbles have the glow to them. I have even found a few "Flinties" in game boxes (no Moonies--yet😁). Backlight them all and while you are at it, hit them with some UV too!! Marble--On!!

Some folks collect numbers in marbles and some try to get the whole alphabet, you have a nice start there. It could even be a Q. Marble--On!!

Nice find Dano. Marble--On!!

When you backlight a "Moonie" it will open up and not look so opaque as it does in hand. It will also shine through as a red-ish orange tint. Moonies are made with opalecent glass. The fish eye effect is noticeable when backlit as an out of focus depth to the marble--like a fishes eye. Fish eyes are also referred to as a slit or opening in the area of the cutoff, often on both sides of the marble, these can be seen in hand in natural light. Marble—On!!

I will jump on the "Whitie" train with William--good eye. It has been awhile since a Vitro Whitie was ID'd here. Marble--On!!

I will take a shot at these. The purple one is a WVS of some sort. The blue and white is interesting and my instincts tell me that it is foreign. The green one screams Jabo to me. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble—On!!

I think that you may have a Vacor "Iguana" there. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Hey Mojo, The light will have to go through the middle of the marble while you are looking down towards the light coming through the marble to see the fisheye effect that Flinties have. A small intense penlight will do the trick and you will have to roll the marble around on top of the light to get the full exterior looked at and through. It may just be a solid opaque marble---backlight them all to find out😁. Marble--On!!

I can make out the seams pretty well--nice images! I think that Akro is a good call on this one. More opinions are always appreciated. Marble--On!!

Size matters. The red one reminds me of a red "Flintie". Blast it with some small intense backlight and see if a fisheye will appear someplace in it. Marble--On!!

This one reminds me of a Peltier "Sunset". More opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!!
