Not a Pelt x2. Marble--On!!

They remind me of old pressed musket balls. I am pretty sure that they were all lead though. Close in size I'll bet. Great curiosity lain--wear safety glasses next time😁. Marble--On!!

Yes X2. Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a Master Marble. Marble--On!!

If it is an Akro Flintie, it will glow on the end of a penlight and you may get a fisheye effect somewhere through the glass as you turn it around on top of the light (not UV, just the red-dish color, Flinties are opalescent). Akro made ¾ inch Flinties so .70 is not out of the question. The big Vitro gamers in that Art Deco box are over .85 or 7/8”. It does resemble them. The ones that I have will glow around the outer edges, and even through the middle on some. They are not as opaque as they look in hand either, no fisheye with these however, no opalescence. I am betting that it is a Flintie, backlight it with a small intense light—smaller than the marble and spin it around. Or cut a hole in a piece of cardboard and backlight it with what you have laying around for intense light. Marble—On!!

Nice one, Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as an Akro corkscrew. Marble--On!!

Welcome lain, The blue one is a “Slag” in my opinion. The dark spot could be were the cut-off was melted back into the marble and if that is the case, it would be an older handmade slag. The red and black were pressed in between two molds. They could be clay, a wood concoction, or other material; I do not think that they are glass. I suspect that they were to a game of some sort. Ballot marbles are usually black and white in my experience. They are old. More opinions are more than welcomed and needed. Once again welcome and continue to share what you may come across. Marble—On!!

That fifth image almost makes it look like a double ingot—kind of small for that. It is supposed to be a corkscrew imho. Marble—On!!

It looks like a Vitro to me as well. Nice one! Marble--On!!

It is a very pretty marble and it does look akro-ish. I think Da Roberto has this one pegged. Jabo. The second image pegs it for me. Nice marble! Marble—On!!

No bells ringing here either--at least the marble bells😁. Images would be great. Marble--On!!

Welcome to the board Dano320. Marble—On!!

These are all very nice Cats William. The first one deserves a multiple shot of images imho. It may be a Pelt---or not😁. Well worth another look or three. Marble—On!!

Thanks for the opinions. All are welcomed and more are needed and appreciated as always. I have searched this one today to no end. It is a fun one for sure---for sure😁. Marble—On!!

Well, there is a bid on the next one, the Guinea. What is to be said about it? I say too bad, check us out here and be educated with your collection and you expenditures. Marble--On!!

I would love to see them. It might just make a great post---well, --- greater💪. Marble--On!!

It is a beauty. See how the oxblood can be brittle, it is a common thing with Akro Oxblood and others as well. Who knows why, an explanation may be in order from the more knowledgeable glass makers. I for one would love to see it—the explanation. Brian Graham, or others where are you?— Thanks if you do show up for this!! It would be a great learning experience. Marble—On!!

It is 19/32” and slightly out of round. Marble—On!!

Wow, I am the first to post here today??? I am glad that I took my time to represent😁. I was poking around my WVS today looking to fill a Ravenswood “Buddy” box and came across these three. The first one is a hair under 5/8”, the second one a hair over, and the third a hair under again. I do believe that they are WVS. Who made them? ---No idea-- but they did catch my eye, I still have a good eye for them. I am posting the first one in the ID section—Thanks for going there and giving your opinion. I still do not get the WVS Id’s that you all can make---the brain of a cork-head is a hard thing to break through. Thanks for all of your help—WVS brain dead am I---still trying. Marble—On!!

Welcome for sure!! Show us what you have and expect some great id's on them all. We here are all always excited to see some new scores. Give us some nice clear shots, preferably in the sunlight, of three to five marbles. Crop them and give us your best attempt. I cannot wait— Marble—On!!

Good stuff bumblebee--great marbles! Marble--On!!

These Vacor "Sunsets" can be misleading. I will renew my search for some smaller ones. Thanks again to cheese for keeping me on my toes. Marble--On!!
