This one is done. I may make some improvements with the marbles but I would prefer to keep the box as is. Enough is enough and you have to know when to back-off. The box was pretty rough and I did my best to get it back to square and plumb. The two middle rows were the hardest to find—try to find a white on black Akro cork—it sounds easy—not so. I had to back fill about 55% of the marbles and went with what I had received in the box. On to the next—I should have kept before and after images and the years involved. Oh well it took some time is all that I can say—What fun it was!! Marble—On!!

Nice call Tommy--lets get on with it now😁. Marble--On!!

My first thought was "Nice Champion" but I do suck at WVS IDs. Nice marble-- Marble--On!!

Top left and top right---maybe--The rest are all nice Akro corkscrews. Marble--On!!

We kind of highjacked Mojos post here. The red one---WELLLLLLLLLLL more opinions are needed. I say CAC. The amber one does show some signs of being handgathered. Marble--On!!

You know what they say on "Gold Diggers"--"Find the Agate--Find the Gold". You better get a metal detector out there. They are trying to open a gold mine in northern Wisconsin---so ya never know. I thought sure that that soap dish was glass--nice shape and even cooler.

Cool soap dish--any markings?

My eye goes right to the Akros--nice score! Marble--On!!

An image showing what looks like a large cutmark (nearest your thumb) and one that shows the end of that small whip like white streak will help with this one. Nice marble. Marble—On!!

If I had to guess, I would say that it a "Permanent Match". Marble--On!!

Hello boris64, Parakeet is a collectors name given to smaller sized "Parrots". Parrot is actually a Vitro Name. I copied and pasted some info from this website https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/vitro-agate-co/ Vitro Agate also produced another type of brushed opaque marble called the “Parrot” that is collectible. This is a white base marble that has four patches of color on it. The patches can be blue, purple, black, yellow, and green (aventurine or not). "Parakeets" are 5/8” to 11/16” varieties of Parrots. Hope this helps, Marble--On!!

A fried cateye?

I think that it is an Akro--nice marble Gladys. Marble--On!!

Nope It makes me smile😁. I did a simple ebay search on Akro Royal marbles and came up with one of these that had a name so I ran with it. Akro "Royal Knight"---I really figured some one would get it, it was on the first page of results. Chad--you are up--breaktime is over.

Nice images! I think that they are all Vitro. Nice group. Marble--On!

Nice marble Fire!!

Not a crow--a weak corkscrew. This link shows "Crows". I believe that they were all "Dug" https://www.ebay.com/itm/255783612487?hash=item3b8de43047:g:lE0AAOSwrbRjT3Qz&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAkJZSj6Iqr6gDovgT2F2W8ISWK%2FxAkcUDTZnwks2pNC1zqZ3XzWpEUKkw4oaKBK%2B%2BU52vUoIJlPjHiBtGk7NJ%2F2jZwrA%2Fz3JtV4nlbNdy8vy%2FQV6bY5jwnGQxJ3ibuQ13MP3AqAiE3iEo5TBD%2Fb1Z%2B7N0d36ghZY1LKtSGb0oVUteGVlOoSH2LAKH%2F2LmmtbtlA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4rikLL-YA Marble--On!!

Ohhh he knew what he had and would not budge an inch at the very end of the show---I paid up😁. It never hurts to try---he must have known that I was willing. Sometimes a Poker face is out-done by a better one🤪! Curses--foiled again!!-----I have won more than I have lost----No regrets.

You have to look at the other side Chad--Windows10 does wonders, just figure it out. There is a gold nugget there🤑. Marble--On!!

Jazzy for sure! It could be a Jabo---but I will lean towards a Vitro. Marble--On!!

Gladys--you did it again. I generally do not ID by cutlines alone---but I must here. Nice Akro imho. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Killerrrrr marble Gladys!! Marble--On!!

Yes---no more hints. I wil give it up tommorow before noon CST--then back to Chad🌞. Marble--On!!
