  1. It is a Pelt, No Ox---not a Woodie. Woodies are named for a reason----brown looking---woodie texture---not red---almost like a tree cut one way or another. This one is a nice pelt Rainbo---imho of course. Marble--On!!
  2. Most of the time imho-- I will always look to see if the possibility of CAC is present—facts are that Akro Agate made some pretty nice slag’s that will one time or another—resemble those of all makers----all makers----imho . The CAC thing and owning one will always be a search that is pursued. You, she/he will find one sooner or later—keep up the hunt and of course---as we all know--CAC marbles do not grow on trees--they are just a rare thing that we all pursue and wish for as “Machine Made Marble Collectors”. Keeeeeeeeep up the search, do the research, research, research, and----as always— Marble—On!!---For sure!!
  3. The first one is a Vacor Wavebreaker--I just love them. The second I cannot call—name-wise--I do believe that it is a Vacor, another nice one for sure. The slag is an Akro imho. Try to push back the wanting it to be a CAC (as all collectors---new and old---should do imho) and really look. There is absolutely no problem with it being an Akro vs a CAC. It is just a very nice marble. Nice images--- Marble—On!!
  4. “Dumpling Dynasty (making life sweeter)” Now how can you not just love that? Cool Tin Mojo. Marble—On!!
  5. Oh, by the way--thanks to NANTUCKETDINK----nice work----my fingers would have slept for a while after typing all of that. Marble--On!!
  6. Nice job of sorting. They are all Pelt rainbo marbles imho with the exception of the green/white patch which is either an Akro or a Master. Given the size, it is more than likely Akro but Master is not out of the question. Marble—On!!
  7. Nice bright colors on these--they really pop! Marble--On!!
  8. Yes pretty cool Ric. My info on these is as a result of searches--not much is stored in the grey matter. I opened this link and did a "find" in my browser looking for "frit". It may help, if nothing else it is a BUMP!! https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?p=286736#p286736
  9. This could be a Vacor "Red Devil" that got a little wild. Or a Champion😁. Marble--On!!
  10. Love it! Marble--On!!
  11. I checked the Vacor website. A Galaxy should be a black opaque base glass. I do not know what you have here but it could be Asian. Marble--On!!
  12. Both are keepers I love the one on the left--not Asian (Cairo? I am not sure either--could be). Marble--On!!
  13. Rare, I agree. Nice marble. Marble--On!!

    Nice pelt. Marble--On!!
  17. Nice marble--a first for me. Marble--On!!
  18. I am on board with Ric. Nice color combo. Marble--On!!
  19. I circled what I believe is damage from play. Marble--On!!
  20. Nice marble--I have seen it someplace before--hmmm. Marble--On!!
  21. Here is a link to Alibaba showing some like yours. Marble--On!! https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wholesale-Assorted-Sea-Glass-Pebble-Handmade_60809124863.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.e8974b89Hy1eG5
  22. Some old swirls look new and some new swirls look old----- This is the best place to look---or ask----As you can see, it is a tuff one. Keep them coming--- Marble-On!!
  23. Go ahead and ask me why I will not ID a WVS. These are all Champions, from a dig, from a well researched digger/collector. I have had these since the late 90’s. I always keep my digs separate. I was a classic closet collector for many years and I researched the heck out of everything that I could, including sellers-----I still love research—I am out of the closet now but I still research to find the truth. These are what they are—no doubt. Do some research on Champion marbles and be rewarded. Too many marbles are I’d as------well you know. Marble—On!!
