It seems to me that I have seen a foil box with “Champion Assortment” printed on it—in a different font though. I cannot recall any numbers on the box. It might have been in an old Morphy auction. I used to swim through those pages quite a bit. I have not seen your box before. The paper that wraps it reminds me of the Peltier 224 and 220 boxes. They water stain just like that. Marble—On!!

Yep!! They come non-better!😁 Marble--On!!

OK Chad—if you really want to go there I am up for it. This one is scary--I love it!

Embrace the Akro and be happy!

This is not quite yellow my marble collecting friend—light amber I would call it. CAC made a Yellow slag with a very yellow base. Compare them and see what I mean. I do not know why yellow was so hard to achieve in a transparent base but it is rare. I will agree that this one is a WVS however. The maker. I suck at WVS ID. Marble—On!!

Slags do what they want to Jeremysvt. A positive on a slag is a hard thing to do and a hard thing to explain. It is more of a feel than an ID. This one may be a Pelt, a CAC a MFC--but I will still call Akro on this one. I want them all to be Akro Agates so I am not always right 50-50 would be good for anyone with an ID of slags imho.(with a few exceptions) yes, I know, Akro made millions of these and most are Akro. Any and all opinions are always welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

I really hope that you get a good ID on this one--it is a great one. Marble--On!!

Your images are great Jeremysvt but I will still call this one an Akro. CAC marbles are a hard find in any form. You will get one sooner or later. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!!

OOOOh, a great example of slag vs swirl here Jeremysvt! I want this one to be a slag—an Akro slag—does it have any reaction to UV light? I think that it is a swirl-------WVS also. Maker. Nice marble! Marble—On!!

Did Sammies Mountain Marbles make anything without "Gliittz"? I would love to know. They are some nice marbles the SMM but the ones that I see always have some glittz to them. Marble--On!!

Here is one for the gardeners out there. I plant for Butterflies and still have success. Marsh Milkweed is shown here .(I would love to find a marble with these colors) The second is an image of my small pond with “Comets” a really hardy Goldfish often sold as feeder fish. These are about 8 years old; I keep them in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid tank in the basement over the winter—very tuff fish, very cheap as well. Great pets—really great.

Yes, Emma has a blow out in her hair---just Pelt stuff as far as I am concerned—I am a bottom feeder after all. I need a few more of this type to fill a numbered repo box. Not fussy-me, and I trade well. Private message me if you have a bad one to give up. Marble—On!!

Well, Hmmm, That is a new term to me but the classic Akro cutoff marks do look like at the very least like a fingernail---size matters I suppose. Akro made some that could be considered as toe nails--Big Toe mind you! Marble—On!!

Here is anothe"Lady" of some sort. I never did get a good ID on this one. No Opal, so I think that it may be a "Clear Lady"--not so sure though---Alley for sure! Marble--On!!

Lady Tator. (I just love that name) Marble—On!!

This is a good sign that they were melted, stretched, pulled, cut and made from a cane of glass. Marble--On!!

Hmmm, first of all—Great images! The first one is a Jabo in my opinion. I can see why you might think that the blue and white is an Akro marble but I am just not getting the right vibe here. I want them to all be Akro—really I do. WVS imho. Size always matters. More opinions are needed and always welcomed. Marble—On!!

I have serious issue with too many "in sight and out of mind". "The Marble Room" is a thing in my house--it is also called "The Boy Room" by my wife.( I just wish that it was bigger) All of my dogs and cats are "boys" and they love hanging out with marbles--and me😁. Marble--On!!

MK did make some very pretty blue—and white marbles. The next image shows "Painted Turtles" under a slight flash—it is pretty cloudy in Wisconsin today. Marble—On!!

I would sort it as a Vitro, a strange one at that. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Those are nice marbles. Akro from me as well---never saw one before either. Marble--On!!

"Wicked Owls" should have a brownsih swirl in them along with the white. I cannot make any other colors out in that marble Mojo but if there is “wicked owl” is a good ID. This one feels more WVS-ish than Vacor-ish to me. I have come across at least a few colored like this from WV. I will throw Champion out there just for kicks❓. As always more opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble—On!!

Well Dano , Any marble with red in it will be hard to be ID’d as opalescent. The red color in the marble will always throw it off a bit. Opalescent marbles will have a reddish glow trough some part of a usually whiteish/pinkish glass. I do not see it in this one. If I had to guess, I would call this one a Vitro. Marble—On!!

This one looks like a Peltier marble to me. Nice color! All opinions are welcomed and needed! Marble--On!!

Slags vs swirls--always a hard thing--I get it. The top one is pretty cool though. Marble--On!!
