Akro sounds good to me. Marble--On!!

It is a purple slag. The light is playing tricks--no blue imho. Marble--On!!

Akro is a good call on this one, that thinner light green streak will probably light up under UV. Marble—On!!

Yes, I quoted myself. Nice marble—still. I hope to see some more input. It will come. Marble—On!

Imperial X2 William. Marble--On!!

I am considering the smooth alongside the rough striations in the glass, the deep fingernail scraping seams and what looks like nil-rolled pockets in the orange. This one may have been one of the first off the rollers and I’ll bet that the many thousands that were made behind it looked a bit different---oops😬, there I go again---blah blah—oh well. These are my thoughts😁. Marble—On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

Be carefull Leigh, Jabos sneak up out of nowhere. Is there any blue in this marble--even a little tiny bit? Marble--On!!

I looked at this marble for a long time. There appears to be some weird little melted areas on it that look like play damage but I think that they are factory made damage. This one would be a great one to take to a show and show around, they are always better in hand. If I had to guess I would say that this is a one-off that is more than likely smaller than what was being produce at its time of manufacture. I would venture to say that it came from a dig site. Which dig site—no comment—one of many. I know---blah blah blah, marbles will do that to me. Cool marble— Marble—On!!

I think that you have a nice big Vitro there. I suppose that you could call it a “Buttermilk Type” but it is lacking some colors to be a “Buttermilk” imho. As always, more opinions are needed and always welcomed. Nice marble—very nice. Marble—On!!

If it was easy----- nuf said!

Those Vitro are pretty cool imho and they are not too common. Kind of a blob on a blob. Marble--On!!

Yes, I can see myself tossing a penny in just to see what would happen---like putting a penny on the railroad tracks. I remember my brother putting a toad (dead one) in a can of peas’ at the local cannery. We were/are all capable of mischief---yum-yum toad and peas! Marble—On!!

Nice images and a nice find as well. Marble--On!!

I might add that these Vitro came in a number of different color combos---I knew the name and really wanted to remember it---the grey matter lost it, try as it may. Steph had listed the name a few years back---I cannot find it. Oh well—help is always needed for all of us. If I do not write a list—all is lost. Marble—On!!

Good eye Ron, I knew that I saw this color combo before.( not too often though) Marble--On!!

Nice glass---really nice! Marble--On!!

I am going to toss this out there—other opinions are more than welcomed. Akro, Akro, Vitro(I wish that I could remember the name—they were marketed with a name) and Heaton---left to right. The Heaton may have Oxblood. Just my opinion--- more are needed. Marble—On!!

Great job--great images--killer marble. Thanks for the effort! and sharing it as well. Marble--On!!

That is a nice marble--just sayin! Marble--On!!

Hmmm, another garage disaster--- Blame it on the dog--or cat--Chipmunk’s maybe— Raccoons are notorious for screwing things up, blaming it on the dog/cat/wife/kids and of course playing with marbles. I vote Raccoons. Raccoons love marbles. (I am 1/4 Raccoon, so I know) Marble—On!!

That is a killer cat--one image is not enough. Marble--On!!

I have never had enough room to display what I have. Here is a good ramble regarding marble collecting. I have collected most of my life—all things old and cool. Marbles are the thing! Plastic coffee cans have been the best way to keep the ones that I know are nice, glass vs. glass does not mean damage. I bag the ones that deserve more attention, just because. Too many marbles---no way!! Plastic 5 gallon buckets are where the rest go---I have too many of these buckets that deserve another look. Armageddon may happen—but I still have plenty to search (what a better way to end life as we know it🙂). I know that the ones that I keep are all mint—even Near Mint went into the buckets—that is just the way that I have collected over the years. Last year I took a bucket of what I considered to be “discards” from many years ago to fill a gold fish tank in the basement (winter freeze—pond fish) and ended up keeping most of them aside. I will never forget my wife selling jars of these without my knowledge at a rummage sale---oh well, we are still together—LOL🤪. I know me better than most✌️—I collect Akro Agate and keep a few Pelts and others aside—always have—there are some nice bucketfuls of others that need attention---some-day—lol. This hobby/addiction will be around for many years to come. We all have one thing in common—the end of life. The marbles that we all have will always be there for the next generation. RIP🧡 to all of the collectors that have passed on to the next level in the last 5, 10, 20, 30-40 years. We have not seen one half of what they have collected.—we will though, sooner or later. Arrowheads vs. marbles will they be the same 1,000 years from now—I do not doubt it. Marble—On!!

Nice Master with some "Flair"😄. The Vitros like this have more of a "glob effect" with the white part. Marble--On!!

I have often wondered about that coppery stuff on some marbles. I believe that Ron has shared in the past that they would fill pits in the rollers with copper. Marble—On!!
