They don't look familiar to me at all. I wonder if you have a group of Akro “experimental” here. A lot of strange stuff came out of the ground at the Akro site. More opinions are needed with this group. Nice ones though! Marble—On!!

I agree with Alan--far from antique and more than likely a Vacor from Mexico. Marble--On!!

Almost a Jinx---lets just call it one😴 Fire. Marble--On!!

The blue and yellow were an argument for some time--Vitro vs Akro-- until a digger revealed were they came from---many, many, many, of these were dug in this color. Any Corkscrew will show up as a patch--including Pop-eyes in any color combo---just they way of things in the machine marble made world. Blue and yellow patches are pretty common---the rest are not. Marble--On!!

I would have to call these Vacor “Black Panthers” made in Mexico. Nice marbles! Marble—On!!

This is a tuff one Leigh but I will call it a Master Made Marble. As always, more opinions are needed and appreciated. Nice one! Marble—On!!!

I like to say or type Champion sometimes. These are great images! It is a very nice example of a WVS. Great colors! Marble--On!!

This one is a "classic" Akro Agate Popeye Patch. Most of these were dug from the Akro Site. Nice marble-- Marble--On!!

Here it is again Gladys, If you did not get a proper ID I urge you all for some proper input on this one. It is a very nice marble. Marble--On!! https://marbleconnection.com/uploads/monthly_2022_06/_DSC1583.JPG.562cd895b05af9c026f3ef54413ab9ad.JPG

LOL, I will stick with my original ID. Pelts can be tricky! My second guess would be Vacor😆 but it would be a far from second--Vacors can be tricky too. Marble--On!!

Chad is right on. But as I always say---backlight them all--this one looks special. Marble-On!!

I did not want to spend anytime outside yesterday---95 and quite humid---I still did my thing though---sweat with no relief. Marble-On!!

Well--- if you know what it is, I see a challenge coming and I am always up for those. I just love this stuff---challenge on—Fire has pretty thick skin🐘. Give the opinion that you think and do not look back. Marble—On!!

This is a nice bunch and they could have all came from the same run imho. Multicolored swirls are not predictable. Plenty of folks have experienced this first hand during the Jabo Contract times. This is of course just my humble opinion and more opinions’ are always welcomed. Marble--On!!

Here is the one that I am talking about, I circled it. Vacor marbles can be a tuff ID sometimes--they are what they are, just like any machine made is. The colors in the big ones do not always show up as they should or do in the smaller ones. A well colored biggie is always a bonus in a Vacor marble. As always, this is just my opinion and I welcome any others--this is what I love--and what I learn from---I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!

Yep---another nice one! Marble--On!!

Nice one Fire! marble--On!!!

I always knew that these would become collectable, that is not why I kept them though. They are just very nice looking marbles—I just love them, I just do not know them by name/company . (I really do not care; I collect what meets my eye). I have a good eye for WVS and almost talked myself into an ID post today that turned out to be a Vacor Velociraptor, hours were spent and I enjoyed every moment. Research paid off once again—I just Love the ID section because I am always learning from it. Marble—On and collect what you like as well!!!

It would be a stretch--- a very nice Pelt marble regardless of my opinion, Marble--On!!

It is an eary Pelt Zebra imho---nice marble! As always ,more opinions are needed and always welcomed. Marble--On!!

Pelt X2--- Marble--On!!!

Yep!!! I hate them with a passion--just me and what I think in my collecting mind. Collect what you like, toss what you hate---it could be related to the bad experience with my wife--kind of like an in-grown toe nail, once you have them you avoid them at all costs. I have since researched polished machine made marbles with a passion, I just hate them and am always on the lookout for them—I just hate them!!---Really! I judge no one--give me a break here😁. Peace, collect what you like and of course---always--- Marble--On!!

That is a nice one Fire--very nice! Marble--On!!

Oooh, I know that Chad knows his pelts---but I would sort this one as a WVS. Nice one—No maker or name from me. Marble—On!!

This could be a great new thread if anyone is willing. My wife was bamboozeled years ago by a polisher at a show who misrepresented what he sold, I passed him up but my wife purchased some presents for me while I was looking elsewhere. I will never forget my response to her present---oops---really—oops!!! The good advice is if you do not know marbles---stay away and buy a nice tool for the old man or lady—lol. I have no use for polished machine made marbles but I know that many do. I used to throw them out but I still have a few---in a box—just waiting to inform the masses. Each to their own. Marble—On!!
