Four eyes are better than two Chad😵. I must have looked at this one a half an hour and I missed that. More images please. Marble--On!!!

X3, nice marble. Marble--On!!

These have fooled a lot of folks over the years and they still are “seeded” in lots on ebay. The last one in your group set made me look twice, very nice. That is a nice group of Serpents for sure and they are rightly named when it comes to those who have been fooled by them. Thanks for sharing these Mojo. Marble—On!!

Thanks for the quick images. If you have any sunlight left I would love to see it there. As of now, I cannot call it one way or the other. I am still on the slag train though, a well filled slag with buried white imho. That is a very long cutoff, maybe it is just a fold in the glass that follows the cutoff. I am off the diaper fold thing for now. More opinions are needed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

Well, Here we go. Slag vs swirl. I want to see some more of that long cutoff mark from the top and both sides. This one reminds me of a diaper fold. I think it is a slag—maybe a rare one, or—it could be a Jabo swirl-🙈. More opinions and images are needed of this one. Get out the popcorn and Marble On!!!

Nice corkscrew! Marble--On!!

Prizenames have two opaque colors and white is not usually included in the Prizename category. There may be a few with a cream color included. Yours is a nice corkscrew, I would not call it a Prizename. Some folks may refer to it as a “Ringer” but I am not so sure on that. Nice marble, all names aside—love the glow! More opinions are always welcomed. Marble—On!!

I believe that you are right on. Marble--On!!

I worked on #3 with my editor. I think that you may have a Purple slag there. Backlight it and show it again. #4??? Marble--On!!

Both are pelts again Leigh--nice ones. MCS I think. More opinions are always welcomed. Marble--On!!

That is a good question for sure--about the patch thing anyhow there are no slags from Master that I am aware of. I have always thought of Masters as patch types. Marble--On!!

I appreciate all that has been said but a “Hybrid Popeye” is what it is. A collectors and sellers term that has been around too long to change. The original posted marble is a Hybrid Popeye. Nice marble! I feel your pain jhomer2172, Google is translating mm to inches for me all of the time. Marble—On!!

I love this color combo and will be interested to find out who made them. Marble--On!!

Hello Leigh, The four on the right are Pelt MCS or multi colored swirls imho. This color combo will show up with oxblood such as the one that you show, an added bonus for sure. The one on the left is a Pelt for sure but I will leave that one to the Pelt experts, I believe that it has a collectors name—they are all very nice marbles. As always more opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

Well there are some that we do not see very often, maybe never before😀. Thanks for sharing them Mojo. Nice marbles for sure. Marble—On!!

Lets not forget that Akro started with slags, hand gathered and machine made. Some Akro Agate slags will show "tails". I know--Buzzkill--just like you know who. Marble--On!!

Steph, I looked with my image editor again and I am still convinced. If Mothra had not backlit this one I would agree with you. It is quite a nice Agate though with a really cool and different pattern. The weirdo that I am, backlighting everything, I recognized the hits. Many “Mint” Hand-cut Agates will reveal themselves if back lit. I personally prefer the ones that have been used; mint is not always the best in my arena. Thanks and Marble On!!

I agree and hesitate to explain how it was done. If anyone needs an explanation--show your ID. Only for those over—well 90 with safety glasses guaranteed😇. Marble—On!!

I can roll with CAC on this one and I am dissapointed that I missed it. So an Ohio Swirl not a WVS😁. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

#23 is an Agate (stone) and I love how you backlit it. Judging by the hit marks it probably will display some faceting, thus a “Hand cut Faceted Agate”. If you folks have never backlit an Agate like this, try it, it is just another cool way to check these out. Oops # 35 looks like another one! Nice marbles! Marble—On!!

Hmmm, I will go CAC on this one. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!

This one is a WVS in my opinion, who made it? More opinions are needed for sure😁 Marble--On!!

Hey Mojo, The closest that I can find is “Stegosaurus 2”, Also packaged as “Pterodactylus” and “Dinosaur” according to the Vacor website. The Stegosaurus without the 2 is gray based with white swirls. Yours are very nice lookers. Marble—On!!

It may look the same William---not. Brand New this one is. Marble--On!!

Imperial was out of California and I do not doubt that they as “jobbers” purchased what they could for the lowest cost. Perhaps when Vitro operations out of Washington ceased, they purchased a trainload or two. This is Just a guess. I cannot imagine another scenario. Cheap is good for jobbers. MK must have made a very good deal. Imperial packaged marbles from many outlets/countries. The truth is not always in the print on the packages. Marble--On!!
