You may have some there my marble collecting friend. Uniques and Heros may cross paths but there are many complete boxes to search on the net in boxes and in books. These may show more of a brown color but they are older images. There are many variations to look at. I would say that you have some Akro Patches there that may fit the description of a “Hero” in the many examples that I have seen. As far as I am concerned—your description is the right one with no translucency involved in the base glass. Marble—On!!

The first two are Vitro machine made marbles imho. The second one is a German handmade that eludes a description from me. @Chad G. will know more about this one for sure. So metal detecting, snake hunting, marble finding--you are very busy. I love all sorts of this stuff. No Getula in my area though--Bigger snakes are rare but cool in my area, mostly Garter snakes which I love to see in the yard. Size always matters. Marble--On!!

Hers is another clue--Natural light😁.

Nope--remember that this is backlit with UV light

Nice find for sure. If you want any tips on removing the tape from the box give me a hollar in a Personal Message. Marble--On!!

This is a weird one Fire. The damage looks like it was "well cooked" and annealed. A keeper for sure. Marble--On!!

I will just add that the term "mushrooms" is new to me and that these colors do show up in Akro patches and corks as well. I like it--Japanese mushrooms--eat em up for sure. I would love to see more of these "mushrooms" if any one has any images or links. Nice marble--Fire

The second set of images are imho –left to right. A possible Peltier” Red Zebra” more images are needed of this one. This one is nice collectable marble and three or four images are needed. Next to it is a Vacor “Fiesta “. The third set of images are a ”Vacor “Volcano” and a Vacor “Picasso”. I am pretty sure of the Vacors. I agree with ann on the first one—nice!! This is the way to do it my marble collecting friend. Sizes also matter. Marble—On!!

Here is the same shot not blurry. Marble--On!!

Hello GetulaHunter, You will have better success getting these ID'd if you post 3-4 at a time. I looked over the images and they are mixed up a bit which makes it confusing for most of us. King snakes? Marble--On!!

No Name Fire, a cool looking patch type that could be an Akro IMHO. Wierd base glass--is it opal? Marble--On!!

Nope Nope Nope

Nice marble Gladys. It looks hand-gathered to me. The two images on the left, the bottom one--- I think may be a pinch pontil. No ID from me. Marble--On!!

Thanks Ron. Thumb pot --On!!

OK, I was close and will step up to the plate. Here is something new to the blurry game—a blurry under UV light. I used one of those cool pocket UV lights that Steph had posted about, glued a plastic marble holder on the top ring and here is the result. Good luck and marble—On!!

Welcome ----"back" browncat73. I hope that you are on the mend and I wish you a swift recovery. I will say Champion but I suck at WVS ID. All opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

Join the club my friend--why do you think that we need more images? Bring them on!! Marble--On!!

Sorry Lastfling I spelled out Corn when it should have been Carnelian. I am a Cornelian freak and it shows😁. marble--On!!

Nice batch Jzoook6. I just love the Akro marbles--these look very nice--great image as well!! Marble--On!!

These I would call Jabo--- Of course all opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

I cannot make out what it says on the bottom. Maybe @wvrons will give his opinion here. He has a nice collection of both makers. Braun and Corwin or the like is a nice find for sure. Marble--On!!

This is a tuff one, it almost looks foriegn but older. If I had to choose between the two choices--Akro. Marble--On!!

Silver Oxbloods? nice!! Marble--On!!

This one is an Akro Carnelian. The rest may just be "Ringers" or "Imperials" The thumb pot may be Alley—or Akro—nice find regardless. Marble—On!!

The first two sets of images I do not recognize at all—WVS?? The third set looks like either Vacor “Werewolves” if brown based—Possible “Thunderbolts’ if black based. The rest I would call jabo. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!
