I have a box of 100 Comets that I just dug through. The yellow based red ones do spread thin over a white looking base. They all display some red that turns to orange as it is thinned over the yellow part. I only see orange in yours, but that could be splitting hairs. I do not know if Master made any orange on yellow Comets. It is not Akro, doubt that it is a Vitro I do not think that it is MK, Lets roll with Master on this one, a Comet. Marble--On!!

I will call it a Master Made "Comet".
-
My brain always locks in on this color and says Vitro. Could be MK Marble--On!!

Is the white translucent with swirls visible on this one? Marble--On!!

This one looks to be a veneered marble from the images. Veneered meaning the colors are spread thin over a white base(on this one ) If this is the case with this one, an ID will be a tad easier. Marble--On!!

Who made these ? And are there more that are good ?

I found one link Mojo, interesting. https://pbase.com/bkbowden/var505 Marble—On!! -
I have seen Akro opaques/solids with this look. Some game marbles will have it also. Akro marketed their opaque colored marbles under the name ”Opals”. You may have to do some searching but there are a few boxes of 100 out there on the web. If you take a bright “penlight” and shine it throw the holes side to side and it does not get though at all, it is probably an “Opal”. Sometimes Flinties just have an outer glow to them like the sun during a full eclipse Check the lot that these came out of for more opaque marbles of different colors for this size. Marble—On!!

https://www.billes-en-tete.com/liste_billes.php Here is a great link that shows a few of the ones that you show here. Hunting is fun and this link shows alot of marbles that were made in Mexico by Vacor. Marble--On!!

Good stuff Joe. There is nothing like planting a seed and watching it grow to become in many cases, a fruitful venture. At the end of my season, when I am cutting up my plants from the garden and putting them into the compost bed, I feel sad and thankfull at the same time. I have planted many trees in my lifetime, and I continue to do so. My kids are in a very nice place visiting what they helped to grow and plant. Garden--On!!

I like these too William, I wonder who made them. Pink or purple in a marble is aways a cool thing. Gray is just different for sure. Marble--On!!

I have one that is the repair bin. I took it out and sniffed it--just because. Guess what, it smells just like a Popeye marble, now you know. Marble--On!!

Do not be afraid of a lack of knowledge, we all have it in one form or another regarding marbles. Some know this and some know that and there are alot of this and thats. We are all here to help sort it out. There are very few experts in the entire field of collecting marbles. Just remember to Marble--On!

I really think that this one is the real deal Ric. Just another version, early or late I cannot say. There was another pouch that had a full fledged Popeye on it--bigger box I believe. All that I know is watching this is like a dog watching TV--out of my realm, I think that a nap is better--LOL These bags are being reproduced--just not the same--so far. Here are two links https://www.ebay.com/itm/203758860140?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A18eZTq-h-SJ-cUmqAeul6JQ75&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=203758860140&targetid=1262407448140&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9018722&poi=&campaignid=15275224983&mkgroupid=131097072938&rlsatarget=pla-1262407448140&abcId=9300697&merchantid=101702655&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt7bMgKC09QIVpTY4Ch0V0w6HEAQYAiABEgIoG_D_BwE https://www.ebay.com/itm/265484581967?hash=item3dd01d3c4f:g:cqUAAOSwKb5h1L1D

Schmuck---lol, I'll join in on that. Welcome Tinyplanets---post away. I wil always enjoy an ID request. Marble--On!!

You just never know it all do you? I sure do not--- Here is a link to an auction with a similar pouch. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1929-akro-agate-red-popeye-1814644144

This is a very nice marble and the images are stellar. The middle image in the top group is very interesting. I would sort it as a Master Made marble. Love it!! Marble—On!!

Jabo X2---nice one! Marble--On!!

I just hate to disagree with anyone. I would rather agree and not post. I just call them like I see them. I hold back on many Id's Character defect, I have plenty---not sorry
-
Funny thing Ric, I agree but in the reverse. The one on the right is a Vitro, the middle one is an Akro. The one one the left---Foreign, Imperial perhaps. It may be a Master Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm, Sorry Ric. Stress fractures, size, colors. It is not a Pelt. I would hate to call it a Master. Experimental Akro perhaps. Marble—On!!

These are seen in blue and white, often called Delft and more common than this color for sure. Not hand painted but using form of transfer glaze. The hole may have been made for a hanger of some sort. Porcelain, clay etc etc, who cares. It is a very cool find. Do not drop it--LOL.

Great post Mojo. Marble--On!!
