I have not seen this box before and I research boxes to the max. It looks totally legit to me. I have sorted many of these marbles and as a matter of fact they seem to be in line, content wise with what I have found. I have always wondered about the maker on these because they look more Akro than Vitro to me. Almost like a Helmet without the stripe. Deep for a patch, color vs. clear, almost a two plus two clear vs. color wispy on the edges. I wish that I could say more. The three right rows on the right are for sure the most common, orange, white with a bit of darker orange/red streak. If you can get more images of the side panels it would be a great thing. Marble—On!!!

My first though was a swirl---it does look peachy though. I have seen a few swirls that have this peachy look to them. Marble--On!!

#3 looks like an Akro to me. “Aide” or “Ace” could be a whole other topic. Here is a link to a Morphy auction. https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=18362 #4 could be a slag that is heavy on the white. Marble—On!!

OK Thanks all--it is an odd one for sure. Marble--On!!

Thanks all. Marble--On!!!

Alley is the best that I could determine--what do you all think? 5/8"--Thanks. Marble--On!!!

I have no Idea what this marble may be--Help me out here. 5/8"--Thanks. Marble--On!!!

Cairo is the best that I can come up with on this one--a nice marble--the only one that I have seen. 11/16" Please give me your thoughts. Marble--On!!

"Electric Slag" or "Striped Transparent"? 3/4" You tell me. Marble--On!!

I agree on the OP as a big Jabo. Marble--On!!!

Good job Al, I agree with your Vitro ID of #5 Marble--On!!!

#1 is a Marble King. Maybe a thin line of oxblood #2 I would also call a Marble King. #3 I would also call a Marble King a newer one—not so sure on this one. #4 Is a Peltier Rainbow—kinda nice with the pink mixed in. #5 Is a Peltier Multi-color swirl. Pretty common colors and swirling #6 is a Peltier Rainbow. Not too shabby—an nice one Value—it depends on the buyer and the owner. No great value for sure. Marble—On!!

Simple elegance.

Black and white "maglite"

It's an ashtray--just look at the stem. Nice one too. Akro--On!!

I agree--the last one looks Jabo to me. Marble--On!!!

I agree with the original post. The last one may be a "Comet"---I do lean a tad towards Akro though. No Pelts here. Marble-On!!!

A mix that I have set aside from over the years. Someday I will try to ID them. If you want to see more of any one in particular I will post in ID later in the week. Thanks and marble--On!!

Thank you.

What a "Killer man" I second that!!!

This is to my favorite Daughter who lost a friend in a missile attack in the “Green Zone”. My “little Girl” signed up, did two tours in Iraq and wanted more (still does). She was refused a tour in Afghanistan, Africa and Afghanistan once more. She has fought too many people in the Army that wanted her to resign—she is a winner, a hero and still enlisted. Pretty scary when you know that your daughter (or son) is flying over Iraq in a helicopter or on the ground doing what must be done. Also to my youngest Brother who was in Iraq when they invaded Kuwait. He is still and always will be suffering from Gulf War Syndrome. I will never forget the trouble we all had with communication at that time—we sent mini cassettes back and forth to keep in touch. He sent me this rock from Iraq (oil shale) along with a live Scorpion (surprise!!!). The Scorpion when into the freezer and I put it into a block of Lucite for him when he returned. He went back to serve a tour in Afghanistan regardless of his state of health. Too many of our Military Veterans have suffered and will carry this with them forever. Carry on and I give you all my utmost respect. SALUTE!!!

Not too hard to pick out the remade in this post--I almost wish that Akro made this color. None are marked. According to the Hardy Akro Book-- and why would I doubt them---Smith Glass made the Transparent ones

That is the real deal Chad--nice one too.

The one handle baskets were hard to make and hard to keep intact once made. If you do find one check for glued handles. I have some two handle that I will post later. The two handle is one of the molds that has been purchased and reproduced. Akro--On!!!
