Chad may be onto somthing here. Milky Oxbloods made by Akro Agate are some of the messiest Oxbloods made imho. They can also be a hard ID because of the variations found. Just something to consider IMHO. Marble-On!!

Do not feel bad crashbelt, I asked my wife what year it was a few hours ago. Nice images for sure!! Marble--On!!

Here are a few Heatons, how do I know? ( yes I suck at WVS ID’s) I was lucky enough to find a few original boxes. I hunt boxes and these were the real deal—no doubt in my mind---no doubt. I lit up the second image to try to show some oxblood on the greenish ones. Killer marbles, Marble—On!!

Aqua in a slag by itself may trick you into thinking that it is blue. Here is a comparison between the two. The aqua one in this image may be a Pelt, a CAC or in my world an Akro. I am not so sure about MFC though. Did MFC make an aqua marble like this? I cannot remember. Then we can get into the slag vs swirl arena. Yasuda, Vacor and others made what looks like a slag or a swirl. Aqua may have been made in an earlier time frame than machine made’s were. Rare but I would love to see one. Whatever may be, they are hard find for me in good condition, they must have been a popular thing to shoot. Marble—On!!

Not too shabby William--- Marble--On!!

The green tint throws me off on this one--great comment’s by all. More opinions are needed with this one and of course, they are always welcomed. Marble—On!!

Hmm, it is an odd one for sure. It could be one of many but Akro is a good guess imho. More opinions are needed on this one. Marble—On!!

Well that is a pretty cool marble. Oxblood usually does not dive in and out like that, it is more of a surface dweller. I will guess that it is a Heaton but I really suck at WVS marble ID. More opinions are needed. Very Nice! Marble—On!!

Well, I do have a green thumb--maybe---😋.

Here are a few Rainbos, both sides/seams. Marble—On!!

I burnt my last stump out, it took some doing and it never did get all of it, a big soft maple. I planted a few railroad ties around it and planted a small native tree on top of it—American Hornbeam. It is now my favorite tree and it is doing quite well. Native Butterfly weed surrounds it, it loves it there too. Native trees rock. Marble—On!!

This piece of glass has always been my favorite thing. I carried in my pocket for years and it has always been front and center—never put away. I have handled this more than any other thing, almost daily. Are we a crazed bunch of collectors? Well, I may be. This is the one Gladys. Marble—On!!

That is a nice bunch eggie. Those big Roosters are very nice. Yellow Tigers??--very cool. Marble--On!!

That is a nice marble! Marble--On!!

Chad nailed this one---the OP--good eye Chad and a very nice marble as well. Just my opinion of course but I would sort it as a Pelt MCS . Marble--On!!

Here is a recent rescued one that I picked up for 99 cents---I just love it! Could you have passed it up?---well, I could not, it has found a home with me. 7/8" two ground pontils, a nice clear base--yes beat up but---

Vitro imho. Marble--On!!

I would say no to it being a Peltier Rainbo but yes to it being a Vitro of some sort. As always, more opinions are always welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

Thanks to you and all of your hard work to keep this site running. Marbnle--On!!

You know Chad, fish livers are a good thing and I know that you get plenty. Eat them up!!

Gladys, There are always two things that we all have in common here at the Marble Connection—Marbles and Marbles Heaven. I could never figure out the Marbles thing myself, if you ever figure out the other, please post it. I would love to collect marbles forever. Live for today and as always---😁. Marble—On!!

Very nice!! Marble--On!!

The Salvation Army, Saint Vincent DePaul, there are a few others in my area that support non public 1-12 grade school education. I am not a religious dude but I do recognize the good that these folks do for the poor and out of sorts. I have a shop in my town that has some really great stuff for sale and it attracts a flock of folks of all kinds that get good, really affordable stuff that is regularly rotated there, no junk. You can also consider a few of the great marble clubs that support the area that they thrive in as well as provide access to ID for newbies and club news along with shows. The West Virginia Marble Collectors Club has been a leader for years. (I am not a member, nor have I been to a show). There are a few others as well that will do your marbles justice and not take them for a monetary contribution but distribute them as needs be and your desires as asked. There are many options because Marble collectors will be around for a long, long time after we pass on our cute little orbs to the next generation. Sadly, we cannot take them with us but we sure can pass them on to the next. Marble –On!!

There are plenty of charity resale shops around and I hope to make some collectors day in the future when he/she buys a jar of killer marbles, just one of many jars that will continue to be restocked again and again---and again. Maybe just one marble will be requested to be put in my urn along with my ashes🙂. Marble—On!!

I am going with MK on the first one and Champion on the swirl. More opinions are always needed and welcomed. Nice marbles and great images. Marble--On!!!
