Yep! Marble--On!!

X3 Marble--On!!

Ok Ron and Fire--"I wish that I had it in hand"--. Does that make it better? Slow down and take a deep breath--glass does feel like glass--no matter the maker. ( I may be able to feel an Akro though---) Marble--On!!

Both are Vitro. Nice ones! You take it from there--more opinions are needed for names. Marble--On!!

Pelt imho--just sayin! I appreciate all opinions. Marble--On!!

Laugh out loud Fire--Ron will not be called out like this ever. Let’s just call this one a really nice HTF WVS of some sort or make—he did his part. I tried--😁. It still sucked! Marble--On!!

Akro on the OP --both of them--squezzzzze those calipers tight. Nice ones! Marble--On!!

Good eye Jeff54!! Marble--On!!

Nope! Marble--On!

Me either--nice touch though! That yellow one is pretty cool! Rainbos--Yes! Marble--On!!

That is a very nice marble--in my eye at least-- Marble--On!!

Oooh--I cannot wait for the Peltheads to check in with this one! Nice marble!!---Very nice!! Marble--On!!

Yep!! Nice one--great one in fact!! Marble--on!!

If you are into Cats-Eyes--remember this-- Vacor from Mexico, Never count them out for a cats-eye. They made and still make some great ones. This is not an ID from me--just a direction to look at. Marble--On!!

The lower left one is more than likely a Master Glass "Brushed Patch"--nice color in this one! The other three--well-----I would sort them as Peltier "Rainbos". Marble--On!!

Nice marble!---nope! Marble--On!!

I feel tested here--I am up for it!! English--Dazzler! Nice one!! Marble--On!!

I looked hard at these-really Hard! The top left is a MFC imho. The lower left--it may be a CAC--the white looks very bright to me for an Akro--- I appreciate all opinions and look forward to them. Marble--On!

OK--size does matter--Good job! Alley Agate is my ID-- I do suck at WVS ID however. All opinions are needed--for sure! Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

X2-- Marble--On!!

Many--too many folks just do not get it---- That is why we are here----amongst the ones that do "get it". I just love the stuff!! Marble--On!!

Great stuff Fire--I did bid on Tiffany glass--once-😁. Maybe twice—. I am not trying to distract from your post just add to it. There was a lamp dude quite close to us that actually let us touch his ware. Green Lake Wisconsin—what a great seller and collector he was. He almost acted like they were “common”. I will compare him to @wvrons—with marbles. Selfless—a great collector that is willing to pass information on to the masses. I only wish that there were more of his caliper. He knew that we were not buyers (you can tell) from the start but still gave all of our questions a great answer with a very nice bit of information and insight. I love looking back at the older collectors and sellers—before the internet--- I have wanted one of these for years-A Houze glass cullet marble--they are pretty pricey but they challenge any Akro Agate for "The Glow" ----my wife and I also collected Houze Glass in the past years—never really knowing what it was—we just liked it—it glowed—even under low light in an Antique store. This one is 1-1/8”—with a flaw—“you can only see one side of any marble” Marble—On!!

My wife and I collected “Akro-Ware” before we even knew what it was. We went to Auctions, Antique stores, Rummage sales, Second hand shops—on and on. “Akro-Ware” pretty much replaced anything that we had collected before. It had to be cheap—we were raising three kids and the cash was tight. It was always cheap entertainment for us all. I remember my wife pulling at my sleeve many times during an Auction—slow down—too much!!! Then one day at an antique mall I found the “Hardy’s” first book—what? They made marbles too? I have been off and running ever since, the wife stuck with the Akro Ware—I went after the little guys—they take up way less space. Now I am a Great-Grandpa x2—I still have the “Fire”. I still break into a sweat if I find an Akro Marble—any Akro Marble—I just luv em. Honey—I found an Akro!!! Marble—On!!

You caught my drift Steph--buyers beware- This is a very good repo and there are many more out there--excellant place holder though. Read before you bid--I give this seller credit for the description. The pouches are harder to find than the boxes are. Marble--On!!
