Your images are a bit bright so bear with me. The Popeye that you show may be a light blue or “baby blue” as I call them. These are not an easy find if that is what you have there. The colors varied quite a bit in all of the Popeye colors available.This one may be a mix. The “Germans” are nice any time that you find any “Lutz” or sparkle in them. I cannot tell with the top one but the lower one appears to have some included. “Back In the day” the Germans were the first collectable marbles and a-bit-o damage was acceptable for sure. Nice score! Marble—On!!

My first impression is Vacor--a nice one! I cannot ID it as far as a name will go. Marble--On!!

Consider the damage here treetiger, this one shows a well tempered or harder glass, with the chips and the hit marks. The Jabo were soft and more prone to little white hit marks from the manufacturing and baggin/shipping proccess. This is a good reason to call this one an older WVS imho. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!

Bullseye X3. This is one of those that I consider "Harder to find". Nice--very thick veneering. I will post a few below for your consideration. I hunt for these with little success. I believe that you can find this type lacking veneering as well. Al, have you ever seen these "thicker" veneered marbles in a bag? Marble--On!!

X2--Nice find! Marble--On!!

X2--Nice "Coral" type colors on this one. I love it! Marble--On!!

Vitro X2--Type one "Tiger Eye"? Marble--On!!

Alan, the grooves did serve a purpose, helping to spin the molten glass. I cannot disagree with what you have said--more than likely, imho, these spinner cups broke off of the foundation due to the heat and were replaced. Carbon is very heat insensitive but it will break down over time. The likely culprit is the way that these cups were attached. Marble--On!! We all appreciate your input teajayo--but. The reason that Akro used carbon is because molten glass will not stick to it. Marble—On!!

Nice hunt and find Chad--I know the feeling when you find something so simple yet hard to find. I call them pouches when they look like this, most folks call them bags though. Uncle Wip? Funky for sure! I have never seen another and I do not have any idea what it was intended for--marbles as far as I am concerned--until corrected of course. Marble--On!!

Me too! Marble--On!!

CAC imho. Marble--On!!

Yes, these are called "solids" by collectors. The various companies may have had thier own names for them, regardless they hold little value. The white based and green based ones with multiple colored stripes are more than likely "Imperials". Imperial (was/is?) a company in California that purchased marbles from a variety of Asian countries, repackaged them and sold them under their own name. Many companies have done this in the past and we collectors call them “Jobbers”. You have a great variety of marbles there but the value is only to the individual collector—you. Some folks collect for value, some for eye appeal, some for rarity etc and some just like them all. Do your own thing and continue to show us what you have. Nice images! Marble—On!!

This one is just over 7/8”. I am a big fan of Peltier “Muddies”. This one has two stripes of oxblood, one big and one quite skinny. I scoped it closely and the images may not show it but it is ox. This one is a bit beat up but it is very nice and an unexpected as well. Just a share with you all--- I just love this to find this stuff!! Muddie—On!!

Wow thats a big one. A first in this color combo for me. I think Rainbo fits. The big ones behave a little different. Marble--On!!

I watched your videos a bunch and now I am a bit mesmerized🤢. Look for the striations in the glass and rule out the possibility that the “nine pattern” did not come from the glass folding in on itself as the glass dropped from the furnace, was cut off and sent onto the rollers. I think that these are machine made marbles—just my opinion. More opinions are needed. Cool Stuff! Marble—On!!

I am all in with Master Made. Nice one! Of course all opinions are respected and more are required😁. Marble--On!!

Pistachio x2--Nice group--the others. They really light up! Marble--On!!

Nice collection Alan! Great info as well! marble--On!!

Some nice Akro Corkscrew halves. How deep did the spinner cup spin the glass? Quite deep, according to the examples that I have shown below. I just love this stuff! Marble—On!!

Nice ride! I am riding with four cylinders’ and twin turbo's. I’ll keep up--- Marble—On!!

How little? Size always matters. Nice Pelts! Marble--On!!

My first thought was a transitional--I think that Mojo has this one right on. Marble--On!!

Nice marbles! I agree with Al except for the one on the right--it may be a Pelt "Spiderman". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Killer images! I agree! Marble--On!!

Here are my two boys, “Sluggo” in the foreground and “Luigi” in the background. I had a dream last night that my last cat "Ragnar" climbed out from behind the couch to surprise us all--he was a very good cat and my old boy Luigi still checks the basement “cat-door” for him. Marble--On!!
