Nice marble! It screams MK to me. Marble--On!!

That jar has me drooling. It is all in the eye that beholds them. The CAC that you posted are all pretty nice finds and believe it or not--the money shot on that yellow/green swirl has me looking at it more than the others. Marbles like this may the veggie side dish of CAC types but they can get pretty wild too. Luv it! Do not drop the jar. It has a few more treasures for sure. Marble--On!!

I am OK with #5 being Akro. The "lemonaide" looks like a patch that swirled--not a corkscrew imho. Charlie may be right on with the Pelt ID--it should glow--very brightly. Nice group for sure. Marble--On!!

X2-- Marble--On!!

Cool marble for sure. The "Germans" that I am used to seeing are lighter green. This may be the first Master slag that I have seen, and I agree with the slag ID. I am so used to calling them "patch types". I agree with the Master ID. Marble--On!!

#200 tin box. I scan the top and include an image inside the top. The "Flintie" shooters are the hardest to find imho. Marble--On!!

Good eye Melissa, I may have had too much pollen in my system yesterdayš¤Ŗ. It could also be a Master Made Marble--"Meteor"? These are difficult to tell apart-- for me at least. Marble--On!!

Vacors are world wide--many different names though for the same marble. They are an ancient company. Marble--On!!
-
Ummm--the one one the right is what I might consider as a CAC swirl given the images. More images of this one are needed for sure. I agree with the rest. Marble--On!!

I think that @Steph has some info covered in the "Study Hall" Nantucketdink. I am sure that she is willing to help you with your interest in this. Marble--On!!

Show us the shooters--that would be cool. I have from time to time gone through my "disgards" and found a few "Yasudas". I consider them to be keepers now--just not back then. Marble--On!!

I know that you like the Coke stuff Mojo so good for you. I love to see when a collector gets his/her mojo onš. The Logo may be a clue as to the age but you would have to research it via Europe imho. Then again it may have been used as a selling point usung an aged logo. I have a feeling that most of this type ended up in the scrap bin, they just did not work out marketing wise. You may have what we here in the USA regard as "lunchbox marbles". Marbles that did not work out well but were cool enough to bring home in the "lunchbox"--in a sneaky fashion. Like stealing toilet paper from work (I never did this). NEVER!š. Thanks for sharing them--they are quite rare imho. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!

They were very competitive, these two companies. There are many stories of some very dark stuff that may have occurred between the two. Ultimately Master Marble Company won out and purchased Akro. The Japanese influx of marbles eventually shut them both down. Master Glass Company (the newer name for Master) used Akro boxes and marbles in the final sales era. They never did too well aesthetically with their cats-eye rendition but they tried and of course they worked. I love a good Master Glass Catāmost are pretty crappy looking but some are just killer. Hope this helps, MarbleāOn!!

It is a nice box and I am hoping that someone who loves someone purchased this as a gift. Ya never know do ya! Marble--On!!
-
I am cool with it too William. Marble ID by images is not an easy thing for the most part and It may just be a Vacor. Marble--On!!
-
These look like beach found marbles to me--very hard to ID. Marble--On!!
-
Very interesting for sure. More images are needed. The middle one is more than likely a foreign made marble but it is very nice. Purple is a rare color in any marble from any maker worldwide. More and clearer images are needed for sure. MarbleāOn!!
-
Vitro---hmm--Vitro. I think that the middle one is a Vacor--but you never know--more images are needed on this one. Marble--On!!
-
I am seeing all three as Jabo Classics. Marble--On!!
-
I would call the one one the right a Vacor "Wicked Owl". Nice marble!! @Melissa has a good handle on these and I respect her opinion for sure. Marble--On!!

I am seeing Master, Master, Pelt. That Pelt is a very nice Rainbo. Marble--On!!
