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!!

This is a pretty cool marble with nice images included as well. I think that considering the damage, this is an older slag that may be a hand-gathered one. The white is buried in this one. When the white gets close to the surface in an amber slag it will display as –almost yellow. I like the little dark dots on the buried white that look like shadows from some of the bubbles. Nice find—more opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble—On!!

It is a hand-gathered marble, a cute little orb for sure. Very busy for such a small one. MFC is not out of the question, and I would lean towards MFC. Nice marble--very nice! Marble--On!!

Pretty cool marble imho. Opalesent glass for the base--this one is just a weird WVS imho. Maybe a double of two? More opinions are needed for sure. Marble--On!!- 1 reply

There are these and there are those. I think that the first one is a Jabo There are these, then there are those, my marble collecting friend. @VaMarbles shows a nice example of what I think is a Heaton--yours is crossing the line between Heaton and Jabo for me. More opinions are needed for sure. Marble--On!!

We do not laugh at any one here at TheMarbleConnection. Well that is a lie, I laugh alot at @FIRE81 posts--it is all in fun and he knows it. "Mib" is just a standard term from years ago ( before the internet) meaning a marble of some sort. Marble--On!!

Nice job with the images. This one is a common WVS imho. No maker ID from me. Marble--On!!
-
Use your old phone--why struggle? Marble--On!!

I have seen a few Akro from "the digs" that resemble this one--just sayin. Marble--On!!
-
This a cool litte orb--hard to ID given the images. Marble--On!!
-
Cool marble for sure. It does appear to be a veneered type. I would consider it to be an older MK. Lets ask @Melissa for an opinion here. Marble--On!!
-
The left one may be a NLR or National Line Rainbo. The right hand one is very a good example of a common Rainbo imho. I do not do names either--lets call in @Fire1981 and @Chad G.for an opinion here. Marble--On!!

I checked out the rest of this sellers marbles. This seller does not know marbles very well. Blood in the water here. Check this one out and tell me that it is not a double ingot MK Girlscout--pretty cool imho. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256794477682?itmmeta=01JJZPD8ZF1ST1GB6473B39WPS&hash=item3bca24c472:g:t6YAAOSw9zhnlRAb @Melissa--what do you think?

The peewee thing makes it difficult to call. They just act in a different way. I really want to call it a CAC—I just cannot do it here. Marble—On!!

Yes they do. The oil jars with the holder are very valuable to Automotive collectors. They can be cleaned up and sold in a whisper. They would sell just as well in the current condition-maybe even more. I am still not seeing much as far as the marbles go. The canning jars would maybe be of worth to some of the older Amish community but not worth that much even to them, rubber seals are still there to be found but not as reliable as the newer stuff. We all have to sort through thousands of marbles to find any that are worth collecting or selling. It is an exciting find for any collector--this many marbles. I wish that I could be there for you, as we all would. If you are a Gambler--get the price knocked down and hope for the best. One marble may be worth the whole gambit---or not😁. Each of these jars would sell for about $30 at any garage sale to those that are not initiated to the hobby for display only. Just leave them dirty if that is the case. Dirt sells for sure. Marble--On!!

Akro X2--kinda weird but classic cutlines push it over the fence for me. Marble--On!!

I am, kinda. 1/4 leg over😁. Marble--On!!

It is a nice blow hole for sure Fire. I think that it may be a big old Imperial old asian made. I am not really geting any Vacor vibes here More opinions are needed for sure but Pelt is not what I would call it. Kinda cool really. Marble--On!!

Alan is right on. Not a very hard find imho. I would never bid on a marble with such cloudy images. Marble--On!!
