  1. @shiroaiko and @YasudaCollector may have some input here. We always welcome second, third, fourth--etc--etc opinions here at "TheMarbleConnection". Heck, maybe @Al Oregon has a bag of these--who knows? I respect all opinions and always hope to see a few more. Marble--On!!
  2. The size is a classic Ravenswood size--just a hair large---I would consider Ravenswood here. Ravenswood made more 9/16" marbles than any other maker. The white in this marble is more than likely "Opal". (Opalescent glass) Ravenswood was/is known for it's "Intense White" batch glass--( batch glass meaning made by the manufacturer on site from a home recipe ) These type do come from a variety of makers and they do not get much attention in the ID world--they are a hard ID for sure. I just threw my hat into the ring here.--Yep, I still suck at wvs ID. The "Opal White" is what brings your/my eye to this one imho. "Opal" just lights a marble up to the next step. Ponds "cold cream jar" cullet was used quite often in making marbles. I do not rermber if Ravenswood used it or not--probably--but no proof here. My second choice would be Champion here. It is a very attractive marble--especially with your hand on the images. Marble--On!!

    Opinions?

    Notice the lack of sheen here along with the lack of sharp edges on the swirls. Then you have the imbedded polishing compound. (The white stuff) The big image even shows a shadow of such. There is even imbedded white in the bubbles that were polished out. I think that this one used to be a CAC. Oh well, this is just my humble opinion Marble—On!!
  4. This one is a Vitro--pretty common really--- imho. Nice marble--no name from me. Marble--On!!
  5. I saw a fox today-during my daily walk. He/she was suffering from mange no doubt. At first I tought that it was a small lost dog. I called out to it and then I realized what it was. Do not get me wrong here, I love eating Venison but this image is just not a good thing for this board. Marble--On!!
  6. I can give you my best but other opinions are needed here. @Fire1981, @Chad G. and @Melissa will give the best info. @Melissa is a top notch MK collector and she will not hold back with her ID. Marble--On!!
  7. Game marbles are hard to decipher. Set them aside for a display imho. Marble--On!!
  8. VitroX3 Marble--On!!
  9. The first one is a Vacor--no name from me here--maybe a "wicked owl"--just not sure. The second one is a Vitro which I gave some input on in a later post--nice marble. The third one is probably a Vitro--no name from me. Marble--On!!
  10. I agree with all of the above. Nice job on this one! Marble--On!!

    Jabo???

    Jabo imho--pretty common. A Jabo (jaybo) classic. Marble--On!!
  12. More than likely an Alley Agate here. Not an Akro. Nice find though! Marble--On!

    Vitro?

    Nice "Opal" by Vitro! Marble--On!!
  14. This one is a Pelt "Rainbo"imho. Marble--On!!
  15. Pretty funny here with an answer to Fire. I agree with The Jabo ID--it just wants to be a Pelt. A nice one here!--Very Nice! Marble--On!!
  16. I would call it a variation of a “Buttermilk" my marble collecting friend. It is just a very nice marble, and the eye appeal is top notch. These smaller Vitro can wake up the world--especially in this case. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Great find!! Marble—On!!
  17. Yes I did chuckle a bit😁. I just love the backlight on this one. You can find this pattern in non slags or gamers as well if you backlight them. Backlight them all!! Marble--On!!
  18. No one boycotts you here my marble collecting friend. I am sure of that. This one is a difficult ID but for some reason I want to say Ravenswood. These larger ones are not too common, and it looks like a "Dug Marble" to me. Just pull the teeth back in here😁 and continue to post the quality images that you do. I appreciate all of your posts and look at them always. Marble collecting is a passionate thing to be involved with, and we must be aware of that, always. There are probably about 3-4 hundred folks that I trust with a Marble ID on planet Earth—Maybe even less. This is the way! Marble—On!!
  19. Ohh! Pretty cool Pelt imho. Is there actually pink/salmon colors involved here? I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Great marble regardless of the ID!! Marble--On!!
  20. I luve-em! When I get into looking at cats--I just get lost and loose time altogether. Yep, they do not command high prices but they are pretty cool when you dive in! I love all marbles--they are just a great thing to put the stress of life aside for awhile. Marble--On!!
