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!!

My first thought on the OP was--Akro "Cornelian??". They are slag’s with a base that looks solid but are in truth semi transparent when backlit. They usually do not have very much white involved. Maybe a mix Carowill?. Marble--On!!

Nice finds Boris! If you see a little white Mini Cooper with a black roof following you--it is me trying to pick up your leftovers🤩. Marble--On!!

If this is your thing--of course share it. We all love the varied interest of all collectors here on "The Marble Connection". It is cool and these are some great images that you posted as well. Marble--On!!

Here is my favorite to this day. These are found as David Howell Picture frames if you want to attempt one yourself. They are bolted together with very strong glue involved, so take it in the garage and soak it with solvent before any attempts at removing the nuts. They will only fit 9/16" marbles. Marble--On!!

No lie here, I just love these things. I get them whenever I can for a decent price, regardless of the condition. I only need one of each--- which may be in the hundreds. These were manipulated back in the day, and yet today, to show more desirable patches or marbles, they only came with Vitro marbles in the original condition. Watch out for those being sold without the bottom intact, there is a steel “cap” on the bottom of these, it should have at least the steel and the markings on the steel vary quite a bit. The steel cap on the back will not just fall off, if you find one without it, it is more than likely a bad attempt at changing the marbles It is hard to tell what is real and what was faked. They are not easy to change and not worth the while—just for your information. The broken down one that I show will eventually show some Akro Agate corks just because I do not throw anything out, I keep it and repurpose it according to my wants or desires. Do not worry; I will mark it as such for future generations. These all came in original condition with Vitro Marbles mostly with “Clearies” or “solids”. Once in awhile they did have nice “Helmet” types included. The smaller ones hold 5/8” and the “Master Trays” hold 7/8”marbles. If anyone has any of these that they consider as junk—just PM me for a trade, just get one and you will be hooked like me.

I am with Steph here--you never know do you? Here is a link from AAM https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?t=34074&sid=cdcf88b5406bf87a84e44dc92b592d97 Marble--On!!

Nice images! I have seen just enough Akro from the digs to know that these are possible. I will lean with Al. Marble--On!!

This one measures in at just under 7/8”. Not quite a Windex color—darker, with white striping. I backlit this one showing a cool big bubble right in the middle of the marble—it is very nice. This is why I study Vacors and have for years, it does resemble some Vacor made marbles. This one is a Pelt and I need a name, if there are any. I just have too many things going on in my little marble mind to remember many names—like a dog watching TV—Names of marbles? Thanks Steph for the work making the “Study Hall”. I use it Dailey. Marble—On!!

Cheers to you as well and welcome! Marble--On!!

Did PPP's come this big? I lean Akro regardless--a messy one for sure. Marble--On!!

"Little Debbie"--Oatmeal Creme Pies. Back in the day there was always one in my lunchbox. Yummm!

Great images Melissa! Nice marbles as well!!😁. Marble--On!!

Wow--a Vacor with metal? Very cool! Marble--On!!

Glass weighs in at about 50% more than Plexiglass. I am afraid that the floor would buckle under 50% more. Just my humble opinion. Very cool! Marble--On!!

Love it! Marble--On!!
