  1. This one is a beautiful Akro Slag. These came in sizes from 9/16” up to 1” with all sizes included in- between. I love a good slag! Marble--On!!
  2. Opal is always hard to ID when orange or red is involved, even in hand. I love opal in a marble and so did many folks that used these as toys because they lit up in the sun light and under the clouds as well--uv light makes these light up--not a glow but just a highlight. If you can push some white light through this one with out getting any colors involved--it will shoe a pinkish/reddish glow in a narrow window. Nice marble--a Pelt Rainbo-- Marble--On!!
  3. MFC in my humble opinion. MFC made a bunch of slags--some very bigs ones as well--I do not recall the largest size that they made--very big is all that I can say. They are one of the oldest--if not the oldest machine made ( they did hand-gatherered Machine rounded )marble company in the good ole USA. Any MFC is a good find--a true Antique. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  4. There is a line of AV--actually un-absorbed minerals from the glass recipe--in the last image. Marble makers around the world have this show up in the green colors that they make. Sparklers are easy to ID after you get your shoes on with these--just check out Stephs Study Hall and do a search. I feel your pain but it will all come together sooner than you think. Marble On !!
  5. I love it too--nice share for sure. I have always been hooked on Akro and I keep the beat up ones in a clear old container that I look at and wonder about often. Marble--On!!
  6. Nice share Al--this is a first for me--very cool! Marble--On!!
  7. All vintage or current, machine made glass marbles have two cutmarks Wolf. Some are more evident than others. Just think about the process, the marble is a chunk of molten glass that is dropped, taken or formed into a device that makes it round. It is a blob from the previous cut--then it is cut again to drop into a device to make it round--simple simon. There are plenty of youtube vids showing marbles being made---check it out! Marble--On!!
  8. Something is just off with this one. I do want to call it an Akro corkscrew--but I want to call it a contemporary as well. More opinions are needed here. Marble—On!!
  9. I mentally did so myself on the first image😁. I wish you great findings William----- Marble--On!
  10. Laugh out loud--for sure—Too many companies made this color combo I think that it is an Alley Agate myself—but I do suck @wvs ID. I love all opinions and there are plenty here—good job all! Marble—On!!

    Akro?

    The Akro Ox Patches rarely show up like this one. I am tempted to say this so I will--this is an earlier version of an Akro imho--it does not line up with the more recent versions. Very nice deep Oxblood and a different white here, the blue is very deep and it dives into the interior—love it. It is a special one imho. A very nice share--this one made my day here. Marble—On!!
  12. I would move on unless you like it--for cheap ( very cheap). This is a Jabo Classic imho. Marble--On!!
  13. If you do not have one of little rechargeable flash lights—get-one—or three—they do come in 3packs. Almost any sized marble will fit on top of them with no flash out around the edges. They are cheap and available in most places now. Nice marble—a bit dark for an ID for me though. Marble—On!!

    Clues?

    I agree, that fold or tongue does show up in some CAC. In my experience Pelt has the most of these. Wonky---The blue looks like it is covering white to me. This one should be ID'd in hand imho. Marble--On!!
  15. Pretty cool Melissa, Nice share! Marble--On!!
  16. There is only one that will know-for sure--- @Al Oregon??? Marble--On!!
  17. Many of us here can Identify a marble in Black and White. Never feel that you are left out if you are color blind. I feel confindant at least at 30% which is just ten percent worst than color for me. This may be a great way to include those with Color blind-ness that love marbles. Marbles love all folks and we love all marbles. Start a Black and White thread and challenge us all here. Marble--On!!
  18. 25-30 years is a long time coming for an ID here. I just suck at wvs ID and I hope that more will chime in here. I appreciate all id and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  19. Nice find -it is a Vitro and I will stick my neck out here and call it a "Tri-lite' @Ric knows these very well and I appreciate @Melissa
  20. I am guessing this is at 7/8" Chad, tell me if I am wrong. Nice marble!! Marble—On!!
  21. Consider a Jabo "Classic" here. Just my opinion-- Marble--On!!
  22. My first though was "CAC and the fight is on"--then I scrolled down. No fight needed here. Nice ID all! Marble--On!!
