Thanks for that Cheese, Am I wrong or are Champion marbles and Jabo marbles cousins of a sort? Marble--On!!
-
Ok it is a great book--I have had two of them that I traded away because I never used them (one was purchased for a trade)--a big mistake for sure on my part. $195--it is getting close unless I get sniped--🙃. I have it coming though. I will not snipe this aucton--nuff said--all in fun for me. Marble--On!!

In hand is always better--just sayin. Marble--On!!

A Size always matters with marble ID's KateSo. Cutlines matter even more. Your first image shows the side of one cutmark--lets see the other side. I think that you have a Vitro here. Marble--On!!

We here at "TheMarbleConnection" know what you have. It is just a matterr of time before you find the right ID. I will alway give an opinion to any marble that has no reponses, no matter of the final outcome. I have been wrong many times--live and learn😁. @Ric is my go to with Vitro ID. He may just chime in here. Marble--On!!

LOL Tommy--I do not keep track of were our members are from very well. Yours here does not show brown. The red is stretched over the white to make it look yellow or brown. It is simply, a very nice Alley agate swirl--no names from me. As for the second one from VAmarbles? Natural sunlight is the key to many ID's Marble--On!!

Notice the little white hit-marks on this marble. Jabo marbles would get these after they were bagged or marketed just from getting knocked around a bit during shipping This one looks like a later Champion to me for some reason. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I think that we all like it too Tommy. Get brave, go outside and take a few images in natural sunlight---brrrr🥶. Marble--On!!

Killer marble Chad. Marble--On!!

X3--nice marble!! Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Al--no Ox here. The first marble has always been hard for me. Vitro "All Reds" did not all have red invloved. I think that you have the second one right--nice marble. More opinions are needed on the first one imho. Marble--On!!
-
This is a great book! I will give it bump up to $150. Marble--On!!
-
Not a lady of any sort imho--The hues that are polluting this marble makes for a hard ID. The "lady types" will show up with purple in a variety of hues from dark to light instead of white such as yours. I would consider this one a white in amber "Slag type" marble. An Alley Agate--probably. Thanks for the better images. Nice marble regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!
-
Nice coral for sure--I just love this type of marble. Nice images as well. I think that this one is a very fine example of an Alley Agate. More opinions are needed for sure and I respect them all. Marble--On!!
-
These Akro patches show up more than often in this size than any other Akro for whatever reason. Nice ID imho. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Ric--Nice cork! Marble--On!!
-
It is very pretty and I love the color combo on this one. Nice Jabo Classic! Marble--On!!
-
So many bubbles! I have to lean towards a Pelt with all of the bubbles involved. @Fire1981 may have a better clue than I do. Nice images! Marble--On!!
-
I notice some blue hues here--is it from the surrounding area or is it true? Marble--On!!
-
It may seem pretty big for a game marble but Vitro made them as large as 7/8" in my experience. I have looked very closely at plenty of game marbles and they all look better under magnification. Cool images--it is a swirl--just maybe a game swirl. Marble--On!!

Size is 21/32" looks handgathered

This is a tuff one for me. I notice the "pocket wear" and the nice flake as well. Nice hard glass here. This one is not finished very well (noit very round) and the "pontils" look to be the folded type. Transitionals are not in my area of expertise. Lets call in @Nantucketdink for an opinion here. @Alan could give us some help as well. @YasudaCollector may have some comments to give also. I think that this one is pre--the Japenese invasion of marbles into the good ole USA. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!! -
I love reading Champion here. Some of the later Champion looked very close to being a Jabo Classic. Marble--On!!

MK X2 nice images! Marble--On!!
