It does look Jaboesque—hit it with UV and see what it lights up as. It might just be an Akro Carnelian. There are quite a few Jabo’s that have fooled me into thinking Akro--- Just sayin!! Marble—On!!

Nice one! Never seen one quite like it. I am pretty sure that it an Akro Corkscrew. Marble--On!!

Nice corkscrew. Marble--On!!

Is it Lavender throughout or is there some transparent clear/no color glass involved? It could be a cross-over made between runs of different colored glass. Cool Marble!! Marble—On!!

The black and blue one really wants to be an Akro Corkscrew. A few more shots will help it out for sure. Marble--On!!

I agree with all that has been posted--even mine😊. The Oringinal post---or---OP may be a Champion "Wire pull". This was a good ID post---keep them coming Jeremysvt !! We all can agree to disagree here---I agree with the masses---mostley. Marble--on!!

Home!!---just do what you must to get there. Best wishes and much patience wished to you as well !!! Marble--On!!

Cat-eyes or Pelts? Check them closely----I have an eye for Pelts but it did not grow overnight. Find one in a lot, sort the rest--if they look the same, they are the same, and they just may not have the same construction. I really thought that these were Vitro cats until I took my marble collecting time and really looked. One is enough—then keep doing the search until you convince yourself to either a yes or a no. You are the collector---do what you must do. Cut-lines are a good tool to use in the ID of marbles, matching colors, UV light reaction, and a good eye will always persevere imho. Take your marble collecting time and as always---Research, research, research---Look, look, look---if not you—who else? Do your best and of course---if in doubt—bring them here with some nice images of the cutlines. We all love a good opinion at an ID. Marble--On!!

I would say that the bottom/middle green one in the last image is a MFC. The rest need more images. The Germans Swirls look to be in great shape. The pinkish/blackish may be a CAC. Never be disappointed in finding a corkscrew or three---I love-em. Nice group! Marble--On!!

Very nice corks!

Akro Royal or Master Comet. Aventurine always will not define an Akro Royal vs a Pelt Peerless Patch. Royals did show up with it in some. I have a trio in this color combo with it, over the yellow. If there is AV in the black that is noticeable then I would say that it is a really/really weird (to me) Pelt Peerless Patch. Master Made Patches are usually but not always 1/3 fill to 2/3 fill color to color or matrix to matrix. Cut-lines matters but there are always other things to consider as well. Comets came in Black and Yellow as well—no AV in my experience. I will commit to this being a killer Akro Royal, and very nice old marble. These came in older 100 count, “Leather look” or “Old book- texture” boxes along with other color combo’s of marbles. Marble—On!!

Here is an image from an old Block auction of a salesman’s sample pouch, very cool. I think that this is the company that made them for Akro---no proof ---yet. The other image shows my collection of advertising pouches. I even found my own salesman’s pouch. They may have all been made by the same company; I just doubt that for my own reasons, more research is needed. The top three and the bottom right match up with the Block auction pouch pretty well, just different colored/stretched leather or older lighting for the Block image; it was an older Block auction. I spent hours looking up the advertising on these bags and have yet to find anything on the Weyauwega Wis. Ford dealer, this one is special to me, I have relatives in that area. The rest were very rewarding/fun-stuff but I have nothing on the salesman’s sample in my collection. Like I said—I love this stuff. Marble—On!!

I have seen quite a few mug-shots--way too many. Yours is the best by far. Thumbs up for sure! Marble--On!!

I tried to reach it on an old dial phone that I have---nothing😁. Not even an operator😁.

The middle one is either Akro or Master imho. Show us where the yellow meets the black at its most rounded point to be sure. I can see the cutoffs from the top in image #3. Marble—On!!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/165463619026?hash=item26866675d2:g:ghYAAOSwuddicAWy These tins could be ordered with special “Printed Pouches”. I have seen a few pouches from the Midwest but never from this far west. The printing looks the same. As I recall, there was a company in Indiana or Ohio that made these pouches. I have never seen one with a tin before but I am convinced that they came this way. This tin looks like a horse stepped on it but I like it just the same. I wonder what kind of cars Gordon worked on. I just love this stuff! Marble—On!!

Akro imho as well. Marble--On!!

Red, White and Blue Popeye. Not so common as the rest but they are out there. Very cool. Marble--On!!

It could be a furnace marble. One that rolled down the ductwork and into the houses furnace. It got a bit to close to the burner and Voilà. The furnace repair dudes use to find these more often in days gone by. The holes in the grills were much bigger then. All sorts of toys met their demise in this way. One of my jobs as a kid was vacuuming the dust out of the ductwork, I would suck up marbles all of the time, coins always made a real cool sound in the Kirby’s vacuum hose. I can hear it now—a voice from the past. “FIRE” QUIT PUTTING MARBLES IN THE COLD AIR EXCHANGE” (little rolling sounds in the background, plunk, roll, roll, roll, plunk, roll, roll, roll.) Marble—On!!

I think that this one is a slag. The second image shows some internal twisting—it may be hand-gathered. The red mark looks like it is a cutoff mark. The larger of the two ghostly images side by side in images 1 and 3 may have a tail that submerged under it. Cool marble—no maker from me. Marble—On!!

Vitro "Aqua--something"--"Aquamarine" maybe. Thats a very nice marble---size?? Marble--On!!!

These are usually referred to as "Wirepulls". Usually these will have one continuous un-broken stream of glass. Good luck trying to follow it throughout the marble. Marble—On!!

It is a very nice one--great marble. Marble--On!!

Here is a yellow one @7/8"'. The white displays as a very light pink color under UV light. Marble--On!!

This is damage Leigh and it looks like it took a nicely centered, hard hit. The little “buttefly wings that look like inverted oyster shells are chips, the hit occurred in the center of these wings where the little circle of glass is. It probably compressed just enough in that area to force the chips out. Marble—On!!
