  1. You keep it coming Wayne--welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Marble--On!!
  2. Alley Agate--no question here. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  3. Kinda weird seeing opalescence here—am I right? You cannot really tell with any lighting when red is involved in the marble. This one is an Akro imho. Classic Akro cutmarks are evident. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  4. Imho, This one is an Akro--"Hero" type. It is a hard thing to differentiate between early Akro’s and early Masters—this is an early one and a “Patch type”. Akros generally have ½ coverage and Masters generally have 1/3 coverage in my experience. Regardless of all of that, this is just a great old “Patch type” that exudes “Old”. I just love to see it—thanks for sharing it. Marble—On!!
  5. Nice Rainbo X3. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    It is not a Vitro imho. Roberto see's the blue as I do--kinda weird really. I will call this one a Master--earlier version. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  7. Given the images of course---this one is a Vitro. Size is alway important in Marble ID's. The purple "blush" here is a Vitro trate that is hard to attribute to any other maker. I want them all to be Akro--this one is not one imho. I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more here. @Melissa is on top of this type and I defer to her for a proper ID. Marble--On!!
  8. This one may be a Champion. @Al Oregon and @Melissa may have some input to share here. "New Old Fashioned"??? Marble--On!!
  9. X3! Nice find and ID by all here. Marble--On!!
  10. This one is a dug wvs or at the least one that went through a house fire. It looks out of round, the white is opalescent, the pattern is a wvs type. I will suggest a Ravenswood here. Marble--On!!
  11. Cool Marble! This one has seen some play wear and it appears to have been at the very least a "Beach Marble"--a collectable on its' own. I like it for sure. Thanks for sharing it here. Marble--On!!
  12. Nice one! You keep me in line--no problem here. The nuns are turning over in their graves😁. Marble--On!!
  13. Nice group Alta! I will try to remeber you when this subject comes up again. It is good to see another collector to rely on--- I know little about these--thanks for the input in advance. Marble--On!!
  14. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/37982-hand-painted-clay-marbles-by-kelley/ Here is the link--nice marbles for sure! Marble--On!!
  15. Alox? Marble--On!!
  16. This one is a Vitro--a "Conqueror". Marble--On!!
  17. Well, you have some great "Providence" here. Why even ask? I agree. Marble--On!!
  18. It takes some time and a lot of marbles to pass through your fingers my marble collecting friend. I am not too hesitant to call this one a Vitro "Hybrid" cats eye (a collectors name). As you collect, you will find many of these in many color combinations. They are a very nice Cats eye that include some nice clear base glass along with a multitude of colors involved. You keep on collecting my friend and keep posting here for any answers that you may need. You posted some great images--keep it up! Marble--On!!
  19. I see maybe ten marbles here with any worth. You have to take these images and blow them up on an image program. Fix them and make them clearer to see. Those "gooseberry" type marbles are cool and the "Sulpide" is hard to determine. The white and gold may be a Lutz--may be---It reminds me of a Vacor "Atmosphere". Condition is every thing! "In hand" is always better. Given the images--I would pass. Marble--On!!
  20. Imperials were a class of marbles that is hard to define because they were made in so many different countries. Imperial was just a newer age "Jobber" or one that purchased from a variety of makers worldwide, renamed them "Imperial" and sold them under the "Imperial" name. Imperial never made their own marbles. This marble is just a special one and I can agree that it is an earlier version--70"s sounds right here. Marble--On!!
  21. This is a nice marble. The white that spreads out is a hard thing to define here. I am used to seeing it in Marble Kings and Vitros--not Masters. I have a feeling that it has to do with the annealing process--but this is just a tought. Perhaps @cheese has some thoughts to share here. Marblew--On!!
