These CAC cullet marbles are some of the best cullet that I own. They have helped me to the max because the colors are hard to determine until you have them in hand. I have been able to make many questionable ID’s fact because of these in my hand. The top two are my most recent helpers and I will post a later image or to two show you all. CA Exotics were and always will be out of my realm, cost-wise . I have sold a few because they were not in my realm, or out of my league of collecting. I have read a post in the last 20-25 years of one collector that had bucketfuls of “Exotics”. I think that it was Les Jones (RIP) The Ca’s that I own are all “out of the wild”, thanks in no small part to this “cullet” along with the rest of the smaller pieces that are not shown. I consider all CA marbles to be rare---period. Marble—On!!!

You may have that twisted around. Vacor was making marbles long before Jabo was even a thought. The first Three are Vacor, good eye! The fourth one may be a vintage "american made" marble. Out of my realm for ID, but it does not look post 70's to me. I call them like I see them, maybe a Champion??? Marble--On!!

Yessss!--Taste it for sure---mmmmmmmmm marbles!!!! marble--On!!!

Thats OK Berryb. A "Green Raven" is a hard find in any circumstance. Marble--On!! and dig on as well!!!

"Not too shabby" as one might say (me). A great find for sure! Marble--On!!!

Un---real--It has to be a mineral marble, or "Indian marble" the way that the layers are so rounded. Great images! Great Call Steph! Marble--On!!!

Peltier made some nice big marbles and many of them. Sell what you will but never look back. Peltiers are a great collectable marble---second only to Akro Marble--On!!!

“Vitro Helmets” are usually clear based with a stripe or “the top of a football helmet” running through the white. You will have to envision a football helmet from the 60’s to get a better idea. If you look at them from the stripe, front to back, you will usually see the little ears that represent the sides of a football helmet. I have posted a few examples. Marble--On

It is a Pelt. Multi colored swirl. Salmon/white. Not so common in the Multi colored swirl world and a nice fine for sure. As a collector of "coral" colored marbles, I like these as an addition to my collection when I find them. Great ID on this one! Marble--On!!

LOL, I have cracked plenty of Geodes open--curiosity kills the cat--let us know what you find. Marble--On!!

Just taking a nap here. I couldn’t help it, this marble just looked like an eye closed to me, and so I played around and flipped it. I do not know which set of images was better so I posted both sets. Blue Oxbloods are real sleepers. They usually need to be lit-up with some form of artificial light to really be revealed. This is my best shot of one yet. This one revealed itself better than most do. Marble—On!!

That is the end game---trying not to be too crazy---a hard task when it comes to marbles Marble--On!!!

I thought that it might be Lapis Lazuli. Many of these came home with our Brave and Women and Men from Iraq and Afghanistan military service. The little chip kind of dispels that. Nice deep blue marble—I like it. Marble—On!! And much respect to those that have and are serving our country!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will weigh in; every marble deserves an opinion or two. At almost one inch I would have to agree on Jabo. It is not a Peltier--for sure. It is not an Alley Agate either. Marble--On!!!!

Thanks Bruce, I knew someone would come through on these. Sorry Billy, Grandmas marbles are not all that good. I do like the corkscrew! No great value in this bunch. Bruce just confirmed what my instincts were on these clay ones. You did come to the right place to get what you asked for. Sometimes the truth hurts but facts are facts, and I am all in with what Bruce has to say. Great images by the way. Marble--On!!!

All are great examples-- suuu-perb images as well---Thanks for sharing them. Marble--On!!!

Bump--I will commit to this being an Akro Popeye gone wild---for now🕓

I also say Vitro Agate. These clear based ones are few and far between in my collection---nice one! Marble--On!!!

A nice group of WV swirls—just don’t ask me what they are---- (I know the yellow ones are Vitro😁) Marble—On!!!

A nice Akro Agate Corkscrew to be sure! Also called Akro "Prizename" Marble--On!!

Top notch Ron, That Vitro gift box is awesome. The Conquerors bag is a nice one as well--great marbles inside of that one. They are all great, lets face it. Thanks for sharing! Marble--On!!

You should always keep your first Pelt. Nice find---My states motto is "Forward". I have always liked "Muddies" Forward--On!!! and Marble--On!!! as well

That is better. I cannot evaluate or ID these for you because "Painted Chinas" are out of my realm. These images will help those that are. Marble--On!!!

Well, this one is still a tough one. The thing that made me do some more research is the presence of two “pull” seams which I have highlighted. These “pulls” or stretches are often seen in Peltiers. Probably just stretches of glass that got rounded into the orb. I did some research and found some “red Bees” that looked awfully close in construction and depth to mine. That being said—it may very well be a Marble-King. They can be very close to each other sometimes. I was probably smarter back when I sorted it into my MK stash, I prefer to think not.🤪 Sometimes you just have to call them like you see them. In-hand is always an advantage over a posted image. Still a nice example of either maker. Marble—On!!!

Vacor "Serpents" come in a variety of colors, brightness and beauty. They have made several runs of these. Marble--On!!!
