This one is a Vacor "Zebra" imho--just a really nice one. @Mojo has seen more of these weird ones than I ever have. I have no doubt that Vacor uses "cullet", or glass from other companies--this may explain the "glow". @Andy McLaughlin from Alaska has seen even more than @Mojo but he is probably out fishing--he wrote the books on these Vacor "weirdos". I would love him to check in during the luul in fishing/hunting/being an Alaskanā. MarbleāOn!! -
One more day-----show your best/favorite! I will post my best find on the 31st--yep, even better than this one! Marble--On!!

First of all --very nice images--lets get to the rest of the post. Marble--On!! Great link --but?? Marble--On!! Great link "et cetera"--But???. I have always agreed with "Master" (Master Glass) on these--what is a PB?--I am old--just take another second and type it out. Our old friend Ron Shaw researched these things like a fox go's after that rabbit that could never be caught. He was the Expert here--did he ever come to a conclusion @cheese? Regardless of this āWho really made these?? Do some research like Ron did and try to find out---Maybe----? These have been researched like no other machine made marble imho. I want to see them in bags--just sayin. At this point after a bit of research--the op is either a Ravenswood or a Master Glass made marble. I just love this stuff!! MarbleāOn!!

Yep! Nice marble--nice find! Marble--On!!

A bunch of companies made slagāsāthis one is not Akro, MFC, CAC or Peltier imhoābut just maybe a slag. Slags are simply white with a colored transparent base glass that have no rhyme or reason in the construction. All marbles have two cutlineās but these may be harder to tell just where they are. The glass was not injected, just mixed together in the furnace and out the funnel through the shears and rounded by machinery of one sort or another. The handmade ones used this same process--just by hand--no machine driven rollers for the most part I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. MarbleāOn!!

A varied group of hues--all Vacor I think. @Mojo knows his Vacor--lets call him in here. Marble--On!!
-
I am not seeing any Jabo here. @Nantucketdink will scope them out if anyone can. Nice group! Marble--On!!
-
I agree--WVS?? Marble--On!!
-
It would be pretty big and rare for an Akro of this type. I would probably sort it as a Vitro, just not quite a Vacor imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Fire with one exception. The top row, second in from the right. If you mis-ID'd a Vacor for a Pelt you are far from the first one to do so. Been there done thatš! Nice group--good work! Marble--On!!
-
ummmm Peltier "Rebel"/Liberties" are a hard find for sure. Lets call in the "Peltheads" here, these are special imho. Nice marbles! @Fire1981@Chad G.@cheese??? I am missing a few--sorry. Marble--On!!

I agree with Al for sure. Nice find! Marble--On!! -
This one is a Peltier--no doubt whatsoever. Is it a "Clown??--well maybe but I have to have some more opinions here. Pretty cool marble!
