Be carefull my friend--it may turn out to be better than you expected--you may never turn back. Try collecting train cars instead and get less addicted. We are all here to help with your further addiction if you choose such. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!

There are too many to ID as far as books go my fellow collecting friend. You will have to pick what you like and go from there, start with an older more affordable book such as "Grists big book of marbles" Marble--On!!

I am no saint but I will not account for any misbehavior towards new collectors (or others for that matter). There are no stupid questions—just ask and be rewarded. This place—“The Marble Connection” is the oldest marble collecting site on Earth. (Maybe the whole Universe) We are all here to further the knowledge of these cute little orbs known as many years as humans have been together and enjoying the partnership that has been bringing us together for many years, all of us together—regardless of whatever. I just love this stuff—just love it—all are included—“All “for sure from “newbie” to Expert. Let’s just keep it to marbles and enjoy each other’s opinions—politics and otherwise can be talked about elsewhere. This is a marble site—let’s just talk marbles and keep it there. What a great thing to talk about and discuss---(and they do not take too much room) Marble—On!!

Great bunch in that Last image--all are very nice--the last shot should be in a book--very nice images. These Vitro with the bright but subdued yellow have always knocked my socks off. Marble--On!!

NTS--not too shabby-- Great marbles! Marble--On!!

Very cool Fire--like a brown based "Tracer". Very cool. Marble--On!!

This is a tuff one Fire and I would say that it was dug. It may just be a dug Pelt for that matter. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Vacor Fiesta Imho--currently called "Party". Not an Atmo--- Marble--On!!

I cannot recall seeing one Fire but there must be--especially with green involved. Marble--On!!

Lets ask @Mojo--he knows this stuff for sure. Marble--On!!

Veli would not be my choice here. Maybe a Champion? Nice marble! @Mojo knows his Velis as well as anyone, perhaps he will chime in here. Marble--On!!

Research Cairo---maybe one there?? Marble--On!!

UNIQUE--for sure. Nice find, it probably happened during a cross over from one type to another. Vitro "Confetti's" are almost impossible to ID unless you have very good provinance. I would never purchase one without the history-well documented behind it. Marble--On!!

Hmmm-this one gives me Vitro vibes. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Nice save Fire--I cannot call it. Marble--On!!

Could it be a Ravenswood? Alley more than likely imho😁. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

I was considering CAC but I think that Akro is the right call here. It does swirl but I think that it was meant to be a corkscrew. Marble--On!!

This is some crazy stuff and imho these are left over stock from the Master Glass buy-out of Akro or a last ditch effort from Akro. Regardless--a great topic for discussion. Lets call in some more opinions from @Ric @cheese @Chad G. @stephenb @Nantucketdink and any others that I do not remember right now. Marble—On!!

"Special"--oh well--they are. Notice this one Steph. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267048902320?_skw=box&itmmeta=01JBZ8JRBE9PQ1MZ4ZHWY3TN2J&hash=item3e2d5adeb0:g:CUQAAOSwJ-VnJM2a&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnM8bJKOdQMa%2Bl06nVYO9lIEkXcwIGCurpz4imvOu%2BgjyL86PFOwMkXwZxzIhJxwZb3TQB%2BvTTknsxEieqinXONWWpQM476Lixi3q7GSxAkig0beIbGcknBwEl%2Fw8WuuyXVF%2B9T007VvivEexhjoNBcA72HuTO4dARyBvLHeiU1UPBmVJEif2jGHLM7tV%2BWIYyTFCKwTCA29ImPbkfOGtYcpyH4IgiGfT%2Frup9UvJcpDv5FbbBJsEQiisWlFlsveVTXnGJ2mEwljt3k%2FnCgoD9r|tkp%3ABk9SR-6Fy-jfZA Marble--On!!

I agree--maybe even a "Jabo contract"--not so contemporary any more. @Nantucketdink may have an opinion here. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Nice marbles boris64. The Lutz that you show are killer. ( I just love the black one) Th OG is a pink banded lutz imho--just too much light to get it right for a real ID. Nice marble non-the-less!!! Marble--On!!

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=276711555241&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l170197&_ssn=limp This much would have overwhelmed me as a find. Pre--taped--pretty cool to see these all tied up with string. I just love this stuff---regardless of the price. You have to start somewhere. They are still out there---- Marble--On!!

Marble construction is not always a hit on the mark of measurement from the company files--or the experts. This is a nice one--no polishing is evident--but your images are not quite crystal clear-watch out for that in under sized marbles. Nice find! Marble--On!!

.

This one has some damage, damage that I would not associate with a later Jabo type. The “clamshell” hits tell me that it is an earlier WVS—Pre --Jabo. Marble—On!!
