This is a good indication of Master Made Marbles imho--they took a lickin and kept on tickin. (If they are Masters--😁) Marble--On!!

With the exception of the last big image—which I cannot see enough of—Master imho. Five different need to be five different—image wise. Marble—On!!

Small wonder why you asked. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

I agree-nice marbles-the images are a tad bright though. Marble--On!!

Sorry my marble collecting friend--there is no oxblood here imho. Just nice deep reds very nice! Marble--On!!

Me either--nice find and discovery. Marble--On!!

3/4" narrows it down a bit--no CAC imho. Marble--On!!

Jabo--Classic. Marble--On!!

Pretty cool marble--not an Akro! Marble--On!!

Never forget that "Imperial" just sold marbles they never made them. Vacor was once a supplier for this"jobber" company. A "Jobber" is one who buys and sells--not a manufacturer--just a company that buys at a lower rate in volume and sells at a higher one to the public. Marble--On!!

Nice score--post them in the ID section for any further evaluation. Nice job @Ric--is this better @bumblebee😁. Marble--On!!

WVS imho--no maker from me. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

I agree--they look like Master Made Marbles. They may be English/ European made—the deep red throws me off a bit for Master. Lets ask @Mojo for an opinion here---- Marble--On!!

Ravenswood. Nice marble! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!

Well, I like it, the defects included. Not a Jabo imho. A wvs of some make or model. Marble--On!!

Ric has it right--the Master part imho😁. Marble--On!!

Hmmm---this one crosses some lines between a Swirl and a Patch. I think that tis may be a Vitro "Patch type"-an older marble. Nice white!! Marble--On!!

No difference imho. Just the two more likely to show them. Akro and Master Made Marbles made some of the finest marbles ever--they were in competition for the roundest marbles with the fewest flaws. Just try to “feel” the imperfections that the eye can see—the “lashes”. They wanted them to be as round as round could be just hard/soft enough to take hits from a stone Agate—very few glass marbles could stand up to an Agate for very long in any competition. ( Steelie’s yes—mostly ball bearings from the local area shop that used ball bearings---cheating imho although some were marketed as marbles) Just my opinion but Master Made Marbles stood up better than Akro marbles. They took quite a beating for a glass marble vs stone/agate. "Shoot Straight as a Crow" meant as straight as a Crow flies. Both of these companies were in direct competition with the original Stone Agates which for the most part at that time were all hand ground—but very round and true. The price of glass marbles eventually pushed the agates out of any competition—even though they were better. Most “Agates” came from Germany—many came from California. ( The term “Agate” was applied to most glass marbles of one design/manufacture or another as a result) I did a short 10 minute search on the interweb and found no images of the folks that used to make these stone Agate marbles. (pretty intense) The old books still have quite an edge here on the interweb. I am far from an expert regarding “Hand Ground Stone Agates”. I do know that @bumblebeeis into them--@Fire --your post—lol and perhaps @akronmarbles. I am just rambling on now— If you have no Agates in your collection--get some! Lets see what others have to say. I just love this stuff! Here is an image of a bruiser Agate backlight--3/4". Those are all hit marks (moons) from play. Martble—On!!

"All Reds"sounds right to me. Marble--On!!

I would call it an Alley Agate. I looked hard--close but no cigar on the oxblood imho. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!!

Vitro imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

Pretty cool--Air force marbles? I agree with Ric here. Marble--On!!

Champion?? Marble--On!!

Good job! The first one that you reposted is quite nice. I have never seen one with these colors in such a large size. I want to call it an Aqua-Marine--but @Ric may know better. They are all Vitro imho. Nice marbles! Marble--On!!
