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!!

I can only imagine you holding on while I drive---ZOOOOOOM!! I just love g-force. Marble--On!!

OK, I will not open it😉. What do you think about the size of these? Marble--On!!

A classic for example only. This one shows the "classic signs of a "polished" marble. Notice the fine/sharp edges on the exposed bubbles, the evident exposure of the “cleaned out “Hit Mark” and the “pontil” that was avoided during the process of “cleaning this one up.. These are all things that in hand are hard to see and avoid during a direct buy, thankfully this seller has given us a direct “eagles eye” to these things that need to be considered when buying. I really do not blame this seller for posting this marble—he/she may not be aware. I am not the “Marble Policeman”—this is just a great example to share with those who do not know or are willing to spend without a very good look at what they are spending. If anyone ever takes offense to you taking out a lupe and a bright light to look at the marble/marbles that you are considering to purchase—Walk away. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266661732819?hash=item Marble—On!!

I just received this bag of marbles. I have never seen this header before—“Challenger”. They are Pelt “Bananas” but the funny thing is that measured though the bag, which is quite thick, I figure these to be 9/16”. Measured through the bag, the ones that I measured are @ 5/8”including the plastic. 100 count Pelt Bananas—maybe the challenge is that they are “smaller”. I really do not know one way or the other. Just cool imho. ( I want to open them—really I do) @Al Oregon or @Chad G. or @cheese may have some great input here that I will appreciate. Give me whatever all of you all here on "The Marble Connection" can offer and it will be greatly appreciated. I appreciate all opinions and look forward to them all. Marble—On!!

This one is called a "Fire--Eye". Marble--On!!

I think so Fire. These big ones never behave--just do not ask me the "type". Marble--On!!

#3 is an Akro--nice one! Marble--On!!

Nice glow! Marble--On!!

Did these come from the USA? Marble--On!!

Yes on the "Silver Ox" and what Chad says about the glow. I recently purchased one with faint streaks of “glow” that I think is special. Yours blows it away as far as glow goes. The “Milky” may be from another maker—it may be an Alley imho. Check your books! Regardless, they are both nice finds—very nice. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble—On!!
