I would love to see some more images of the third marble that you just posted. Vacor Oxblood!!--new to me!! Marble--On!!

I will always challenge black in any marble. Black is blue, brown, green, purple and a few others. Of course, I appreciate the opinion that you have given---finally, someone stepped up to this ID—lets see some more with some knick-names or company names applied. I still think that the last one is a Vitro Buttermilk. I just call them like I see them. Thanks, and Marble—On!!

I just love these big MFC slags and can never see enough of them---they do come bigger. What size is yours? I sold a big one years ago and have regretted it ever since. Love it--Lets see some more of these👀. Great find!!! These are rare--hold on to it, or regret it IMHO. Marble--On!!

I am not a Peltier expert but I consider Peltier Marbles to be my second choice in collecting after Akro Agate. The Peltier collectors have named so many marbles with nicknames that it is very hard to keep up with them and I do not blame you for asking for a name for the ones that you posted. Sometimes a misidentification is the only thing that will get a response, so here I go. I am not afraid to call them like I see them. Image one shows what I would call three “Clear based NLR Rebels”—very rare. Image two shows what I would say is a “NLR Translucent based Rebel”—not very common. Image three shows what I think may be a Vitro Buttermilk---a very nice marble to own. Of course, I welcome any other opinions and hope to see some, I challenge all Pelt-Heads or others, to chime in. Marble—On!!!

COME—ON PELT-HEADS LETS LIGHT THIS PLACE UP!!! DO NOT LET A CORK-HEAD LIKE ME TAKE OVER THIS TOPIC. I have this one identified as a Honey Onyx. This is a pretty rare one, in my experience at least. 9/16” Tell me what you think. Marble—On!!

Is this one considered a Tracer? 5/8" It was included in a lot that included Tracers of the exact same color combo. This one is just laid out a bit different. Thanks for any input, Marble—On!!

This is a nice one at 7/8”, not quite as nice as it was but still--- I am sorry to say that I wanted to post it earlier in the year, ran out of time and put it in my pocket. I misplaced it for quite awhile. I searched and searched figuring that maybe I lost it while picking up leaves on the lawn until my wife found it in the wash machine drum seal catch-all ----ooops. 1,000 RPM and still looking pretty nice. Check your pockets everyone---well, at least I did not drop it on the garage floor. It came out pretty clean at least---springtime fresh as well! Marble—On!!!

That Vitro blue is hard to beat---nice find!! Marble--On!!

The first image is a great marble--then you have three---excellant. I have a few marbles from my grandfather and they are cherished. Nice group no doubt. No names from me except NICE!!! Marble--On!!

I would have to say not Akro due to the backlighting--too electric of a red, Akros are darker cherry when backlit. This one looks bitter cherry vs sweet. Spoken from a true Cherry lover—bitter or sweet. CAC imho. Nice one!! Marble--On!! and Cherry one as well!!!

Here is another set of those large Vitro Game marbles. They do backlight the same as yours and they have the same whitish swirling included that yours show. I believe that the same marbles may have been included in some of the “Master Jewel Trays” that Vitro produced. I think that Chad nailed it from the start. Marble—On!!!

Al, It took awhile to get mine and I ordered it a few days before I posted this subject. Yes Tommy, I have a few for sale as well🤑. Nice images. Prices of the distant future perhaps. Marble--On!!

I have posted these before and I have one left--the crappy one. My youngest grandkids(5 and 6 years old) really liked them. Not only do they glow but if you shine a light on them the light up like a firefly in natural light. My youngest grandson took a laser light that we use with the cats and started lettering his name on them. They both always want to see my "marble room" and I always try to have something that they can take home with them, the bigger the better. I love this stuff! Marble--On!!

Here is a nice little milky oxblood at 5/8" with some great coverage. Marble--On!!

Odd but cool. It almost looks like it was designed to be pushed onto a stud or something like it, never to come off.

Here is a dandy at 5/8”. Alley Agate? I am thinking that it must have come from some place in the Vintage Marble Capitol of the World—West Virginia. This marble has a semi-opaque Brownish base glass with light Turquoise striping/swirls. Hard light will not show trough the marble but it will at the edges. The striping/swirls go quite deep and throughout. Marble—On!!!

Lets just call this one a Popeye--a very excited Popeye-watch out Olive Oyl--Arrrgghh. Marble--On!!

Here are two different types that are 7/8" and 1" and not the same construction. They are more than likely the original composition. Clearies yes, but just look at the clarity of these two—well cooked for sure. The one on the right is a "hanger/ puller" Marble—On!!

Hello Chad, this looks like an insert to a sign. Patience my friend--always ask for the key and turn around for what it is worth. Marble--On!!

A bit dusty but I am never good on short notice. Marble—On!!

Here is another fun one. Run for the lights Pelt-Heads!!! 11/16” not mint, but not too shabby, worn for sure and one blow hole. John Deere? That is my call, of course I am just a cork-head after all and I will appreciate any opinions. There is an Oxblood streak under the green almost all the way around and under the green. Reminiscent of the Ox found in some yellow/lightblue/ white Pelt Multi-colors. I had to really light this one up to show what I mean. The green is transparent. You can see the oxblood in hand----and in hand , it is a very nice marble. I like Pelts too, you never know what you may find in Pelts. Marble—On!!!

Here is a fun one. 5/8”, nice and round, no exterior defects. Opal glass—Acme Realor? There is a chunk of furnace in this one that is about ¼ of the mass of the marble. I thought that it would make it lighter/more heavy than normal, nope 6 grams, just what it should be. (did I really just weigh a marble) Marble—On!!!

I have two just like yours. Big yellow on red Corkscrews are in mine. It is way too easy to switch the marbles out in this type of finial.( I would switch it out for an Akro for sure) $5 was a good deal regardless of the marble that it held. If this is a Jabo, it is a pretty good one IMHO and at five bucks a good buy. I would steer away from Jabo on this one. I just call them like I see them and I am far from any type of WV swirl expert. Marble--On!!

I believe this is a good example of why so many Peltheads have a problem with Vacors. Sorry, No Cigar. Vacor Serpents came in quite a few different runs and colors and some were quite close to the Pelt Superman. Of course, I am a Corkhead and am interested in any opinions of the Pelt-Masters. I just call them like I see them. Marble--On!!

Vacor has marketed the same marbles under many different names and and many different packages. Some all the the same and some mixed with others. Many runs and many different base and top colors no doubt. I for one, appreciate the tenacity that they show competing with the Chinese. Check this link out and tell me what you think. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=246 Look at all of the images and come to your own conclusion. I believe that this is what you are looking at for an ID. Marble--On!!!
