Patch marbles are a tough one to ID and they have not been collected as much as the swirls or corkscrews. You may find some info online. Post them here and get your results. I love patches as many here do--just not a high dollar marble in most cases---- so little info to be found. Marble--On!!

When that puppy is closed tight, mark it to zero then on from there. Marble--On!!

Hmmm--Pretty close! Lets see what the Peltheads have to say. Nice one Fire! Marble--On!!

One inch??--This is a tuff one---- Jabo classic is my opinion. Marble--On!!

Well, if it is a Jabo Contract--I want me some of those--Nice one!! Marble--On!!

.

I agree--with both--- Marble--On!!

You may have a big “Michelangelo” there Fire. Marble—On!!

Yes Vacor, a nice looking Chameleon imho. Marble--On!!

I know it is Emma, pretty common—but with color? Marble—On!!

I think "All Reds" works for these two. Here is a nice link with some Vitro info and images. I use it all the time. http://www.gaiser.org/vitro/ Marble--On!!

Wow, that is a big chunk. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing an image of it. Marble--On!!

Vacor "Troll"? Marble--On!!

We all have some sorting to do. This is us—the marble collectors of the world. Luckily, I have a great watch pig that watches over the unsorted so they do not get out of line—too much anyhow. He is my only restraint. He looks determined, but he does give a little. Marble—On!!

Try Succulents Steph—my wife did and that is all that she collects now. They overwinter well inside and do not take up too much room. Not too fussy either. Green is good in the winter in Wisconsin.

mm ARE WORSE. Amazon sells many-cheaper than Marbles--get one along with some good pen-lights and a UV light as well. Marble--On!!

Good call Alan! Marble--On!!

I would call it a later version of thre "All Red". It looks a bit "Greasy" or extra glossy---chromic almost---the finish I mean. The black part is more than likely a form of plum or purple if backlit. They made some very nice ones in this format. Marble--On!!

Peltier MCS or "multi colored Swirl"--it looks like it is in nice shape. I love these, Size?? Marble--On!!

Left to right-- Vitro, Vitro--Opalescent glass?, Vitro, Vitro--and what looks like a Master to me. I like the Master looking one. It may be a wacked out red slag but I am guessing red based "Brushed Patch Master"--Very thick on the "brushed"--it is not a Vitro imho. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

This is a fun one. I appreciate all opinions and look forward to a positive ID on all marbles posted. I would love this one to be an Akro—believe me; I want them all to be Akro. Based on the damage shown—not “dug out of the ground” damage as almost every Akro with AV is, but played with damage, more common in this group of images to a Peltier than an Akro. The colors in the AV, Greens and reds which do not show up in the Akro Black AV that I have seen and the distinct possibility of the base glass being Opal----is it??. The bleeding of the black over the white is also more common with Peltiers than it is with Akro Agate marbles. I will stick with it being a Peltier Patch. These Pelt Patches will be all over the place, drizzle, lack of color, too much color, weird swirls, and funky cutoff marks, and very often with AV included. Cut-lines lie all of the time and Peltiers do this often. Of course, having it in hand will always be the best. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

Champion maybe--just sayin. Champion has a bunch of this color floating around with "a nice "Metallica" streak in them. I will post one below--Rock On!!

Vitro X2. Missing a good chunk but a good ID. Marble--On!!

Some "newer" MK's is a good call here imho. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

There may be three Vitro there. Better images are needed to make sure. The middle right one looks interesting---It looks like a nice one--Master Made imho. Marble--On!!
