Very cool Mojo! Marble--On!!

These are Vacor “Jaguar” marbles, I opened a net for these images. (It did take some time) If you do not have any—get some and be rewarded. All opinions aside—these are my favorite cats that I have from any maker past or present. The closest to a “Master Made Tiger Eye” that will be found. KILLER KATS!!!---just killer!! Marble—On!!

Akro X2---nice one! Marble--On!!

I will just commit to it being an Akro---the name?---"Very Nice". Marble--On!!

Well, I am not afraid to admit that I may be wrong. Here is an old shot of what I have been led to believe over the years is a ”Woody”. I wish that I could do better today—no sunlight—I give up. I have a few---they are Killer marbles and I just love-em. Times/IDs do change—I will admit. Marble—On!!

I did some deep research on this one, this is my first response. It is too bright to be a Cairo imho. I thought that it might be a weird Vacor---Not Vacor imho. I do my main research on Akros—not an Akro imho. If Nantucketdink makes a post regarding a marble---especially Jabo—enough said imho—Jabo it is! Thanks for a great post and images and all of the opinions that have been given. Nuff said! Marble—On!!

I would say that it is a Peltier "Sunset" type. I am not familiar with the name "Santa Claus". (I am not a name guy) Nice marble--it looks out of round due to your editing---just show the nut and lets get on with it😁. Marble--On!!

It is a special marble Jeremysvt. If you ever get to a show and show it around to the experts, that can see it in hand---I predict several different opinions for sure. Well worth it being a "profile marble" imho. Marble--On!!

X20--or maybe 30--Really nice my friend!! Marble--On!!

This was a “Sundays Best” post that made it here instead, a post that all Mothers are more than deserving of. This marble spoke to me today so here goes. Here is a 1” Akro slag that has opal in the base and opal in the white. Due to the imbedded dirt in the seams and the scratching on the exterior, I believe that it is an experimental/dug marble. Under UV light the white displays as a light pink. This one was incredibly hard to shoot an image of---I did my best for the Mothers reading this post, if not for you we would not be here—enough said. I stayed close to my home and I am the closest to my Mother of all of my siblings—about 2000 feet---I Love you Mom!—RIP.( a few tears here) The first image is what the marble looks like in hand—white, as in a white slag. The second image shows it on a black background. The third image shows it back-lit with obvious opalescence, the white looks bluish in sunlight. The fourth image shows it on a white background. What a great marble for Mothers Day, simple in hand and deep in depth, color and –you know, always in the background and always loving and shining. Marble—On---and of course--- Mothers On!!! for sure—I love you all for what you are!! Marble—On!!

Close it down my friend, enough is enough. Marble--On!!

Back in the saddle again--- Good stuff!!! The focus is good—I just wish that I knew what it was. Keep them coming my marble collecting friend. Marble—On!!

Just for further discussion--- I have seen a few Akro corks in this color combo---- Just sayin!!----maybe. Marble—On!!

X2---WVS for sure Nice one!! Marble--on!!

I agree with Alan, This is just a well covered Pelt Rainbo---imho. Marble--On!!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

“Dumpling Dynasty (making life sweeter)” Now how can you not just love that? Cool Tin Mojo. Marble—On!!

Oh, by the way--thanks to NANTUCKETDINK----nice work----my fingers would have slept for a while after typing all of that. Marble--On!!

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!!

Nice bright colors on these--they really pop! Marble--On!!

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

This could be a Vacor "Red Devil" that got a little wild. Or a Champion😁. Marble--On!!

Love it! Marble--On!!
