This is a very fine example of a well cropped image---hint---hint to the rest of us here😁. I am guessing that the size is over 3/4" here. It does remind me of a Pelt Rainbo--a big one. If it is smaller--like say 5/8"--Akro imho. This one has a lot going on for a Patch type. Nice post! Marble--On!!

Nice backlighting! Marble--On!!

Crop your images more my marble collecting friend and do not repeat them. It would be a good thing to do. Marble--On!!

These are my faves--for today at least. Yep! Akro Patches from Les Jones (rip)--killer marbles--just killer. Marble-On!!

No--flames do what they want to do and some of the great ones intersect. Do some google research and be amazed at the combinations. I love em--just cannot afford them. Can you believe for an instant that most of the best CAC ones were found in a river? Hard to believe--just some distant rumors that I will pass along. I met the guy that found them--he would not give it up to me--but he was not offended for my asking for some reason? RIP. Marble--On!!

This one is an Alley imho. Nice ask though--it is close but no cigar imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

These "Vitro Jewel Trays" can become quite addicting--watch yourself here--lol. To find one with Helmets is a rare thing but they do come with quite a variety of colors. Yours seems the right size for one. These were displayed at the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York and come marked as such--kinda rare and cool. They also come in a much larger size called a "Master Tray". These carry 7/8" marbles-verry cool. Marble--On!!

It is a "Helmet"--pretty cool marbles these. Here is a "Vitro Jewel Tray" full of them--one of my coolest finds as far as Vitro go. Marble--On!!

This one is a "Prize Name" made by Akro--one of my favorite corkscrew color combos. Nice find! Marble--On!

A hard ID for anyone, let alone one that sucks at WVS ID. Many companies made red and white swirls--many--to many for me. This one takes an expert in wvs ID--I am not one but I would venture a guess at Alley Agate--no name from me. Marble--On!!

No Oxblood here but worth asking for sure! Nice Akro Patch! Marble--On!!

Notice how the white kinda bleeds and fizzles out on the red--it get thinner on the edges with no real definition between the white and the red. Kinda ghostley with the white on the edges of the white..a good trait of a Vacor. I like these type for some reason and they came in many different shades of red (Dark and deep to quite bright-red) and quite a few different names as well. Vacor keeps these coming--not too consistant though color wise. They are easy to mix up with some early akro. Marble--On!!
-
Start with size here--then research wvs imho. Marble--On!!

I would lean towards a Vacor here. Maybe a "Rooster"? Marble--On!!

This one is a very nice Master Marble. Shine it up and be proud of it! Marble--On!!

You are posting a bunch of dug marbles here for sure. To narrow it down to the two that you are listing???? Dug Champions are low on the list of dug marbles--if there was ever a dig? I do not recall one--just some folly that took place after they shut down as I recall. I have a bunch of Champions that were "Found in an old trailer"--I wonder--they are all mint. @cheese would know about any major digs. The digs produced a lot of information but they also showed that the marble companies were researching each other at the very least. Each dig, regardless of the site, produced marbles from different companies. The only dig that I have not heard of is Master Marble----Champion may have been one--but I do not recall it. Peltier was just a limited version of the major digs--to find a dug Pelt is a true find. Marble--On!!

This one reminds me of a Cairo more than anything--just mho. Marble--On!!

Love it--no ID from me! It could be one of many. Marble--On!!
-
Given the two choices--Alley. I love a good flat Marble!! Marble--On!!

You are doing OK--(I like it). Just a tad more cropping action. Marble--On!! -
Good idea--this one is special imho. Marble--On!!
-
More than likely an Old Alley Agate imho. I do not really even think that it was dug--maybe some fire damage. Marble--On!!
-
Your last one is an Akro Oxblood Patch--a very nice find! Marble--On!!
