La Crosse, Wisconsin is a great place to visit. Melissa is closer I think than I am, but I have visited there for one thing and one thing only –Antiques. These cities along the Mississippi river are a gold mine for cool old stuff from all over the world.

This one is a wvs. I have not seen a Jabo like it--just sayin. I cannot name it. I respect all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble!

Ummmm--MK is not what I would call it. This one needs some natural sunlight. Any Marble that shows pink is rare--well, before the Jabo Contracts at least. This is Pre-Jabo imho. Nice marble--more images are needed. Marble--On!!

Just to be aware--this freezing method is only good for sauces. I run them under warm water, get the skins off along with the stem end and cook them down. Rubber gloves saves you from getting any freezer burn on your fingers. A food mill removes the pulp and seeds very niclely.( go ahead and put this disregarded stuff in your mulch and begin picking tomato weeds all year long) I would give you my recipe but it is quite personalized regarding sizes and measurements according to what I have used in the past. Eat food on!!

One of mine too. Taco's--sounds great--I love a good fish taco but it just grosses my wife out for whatever reason so I wait until she is on a "Vacation" then I eat them up. I cook on the weekends and tommorrow I will be making Freezer Spaghetti sauce and probably be ordering Pizza for supper. I use tomatoes from the garden. I just freeze them after I clean them and cook them down into a sauce that is just killer. These whole frozen tomatoes are very easy to peel under hot/warm water--the skin just falls off. Sunday will be a mushroom pasta---yum. Eat on!!

I would sort it as an MK. A later version imho. I am not an expert with names or MK marbles but @Melissa is for sure. Marble King marbles will show up plenty with blow holes. I do not know if Pelt is first or second regarding blowouts, CAC would be a close third imho. Nice find and a good ask. Marble--On!!

Chad has the grit ot take on any ID. Our old friend Ron knew that @70% with marble ID's you were doing pretty well. Chad is right there for sure. Marble--On!!

A very cool find my marble collecting friend.. I wish that I had one--- Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as an Akro Patch. The "Tri-Colored" patches would often show up with two colors instead of three--always on a white base that is deep and far from being "Veneered". Akro did make some pretty boring marbles that have been passed up by the masses that expect a return in dollars. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice find! Marble—On!!

Been there done that😁. Nice marble! It is a wvs imho with some nice depth in the non-white. I wonder if it is a Ravenswood? More opinions are needed and I respect them all. Lets call in @cheese for an opinion here. Marble--On!!

I agree with all that has been said so far. The first one seems a bit washed out and may need some sunlight to get to a final evaluation. Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a vitro. I think that is falls a bit short of any named marbles. @Ric is my go to with weird Vitros. Nice marble--quite a cool Vitro imho--nice big one too. Marble--On!!

The digs from Akro produced many of this type--hard to ID but fractures were included. It would be way too easy to call this one a Pelt because of the bubbles included and I reward any one not thinking this way. We older folks have had much more access to true dug marbles from Akro--one of the very first sites dug. I would call this one an Akro with no problem. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Killer images--backlight it and be rewarded. Akro X3. Marble--On!!

Tomato in my world--lol. These smaller marbles, when you press them with light, will get your mind swirlling. This one may be what you think or what I think--a good version of researching marbles right down to the bone--good job! A game marble. marble--On!!

Jabo imho--a "Jabo Classic". I had to look back at the size--these kinds of swirls and coverage are more likley to be found in a much larger Jabo. I may be wrong so I invite @Nantucketdink to throw an opinion in here. Marble--On!!

Lazy cork sounds right to me. Marble--On!!

Yep--cool marble Asian imho. Marble--On!!

It is not a Jabo---we all seem to agree with that. Dimples, like the ones that you see in the third image--the right hand image, are not too common with newer marbles for whatever reason. I would sort this one as an Akro. It would be one of a row of ten in a box of 100 patches. Nice marble regardles of the id. Marble--On!!

It is an Akro all day long for me. It is just not a real strong contender--very cool find though. @Melissa post a few of these in her favorites post within the last day or so. These showed up in the later day Akro Boxes, the ones without any staples in the corners. Probably a #300. Here is one that I have that is close to yours. Marble--On!!

That Amber Based Cat is very nice. Marble--On!!

The thread with the AV brick received an ID from me--but this is history. I do not fight my way through the rubble to stand tuff on any ID, I give what I can and then back off. I know what I see, and I post it. I generally ask for more opinions. Whether I know that I am right or not. If this AV Brick thread got your Ire up--I welcomed them back and they will be back, due to some respect shown to this collector. This is a very hard thing for me to agree with, but I know where you are coming from. Many of us here are not cheerleaders and just deal with facts that we have learned over the years. Some may take it personally when challenged but then again, we do not know him/her and how long of a passion this has been for them. This marble collecting thing could get quite nasty in the 80’s and 90’s and we had to fight for our lives. There is still some of that left in the darker corner of our old grey spider webbed minds. The written word as I post it seems friendly to me to most who post here, and I am sure that it is the intention of all that post here—just friendly. We just all come from a different time and age on this board. Some like I, have three great grandbabies. Some who post are under twelve years old. The older ones may get cranky, and the younger ones may---well--- just be smart assed. Nothing that I have not been through before. This is why We try to keep it clean here @TheMarbleConnection. Keep them coming—the marbles and keep your written posts in check considering what I have said. Marble—On!!

Cobalt blue on bright white has always been an an eye catcher for me. I remodled my batroom in these colors about 25-30 years ago and I still love it to this day. (it used to be brown-everything was brown🤢). What do you think that the one with horse hair ox is? (maybe a Heaton?) Nice group. Marble--On!!

That MK with the blue AV-Top Shelf for sure--Very cool! I am not a big MK fan but this is my fave out of all that you show.( it took awhile to pick one out) Nice show here--I feel like I should have paid to see them. I appreciate all of the work that this took as well. This post did not happen overnight. Great job! Marble--On!!

Nice marble for sure Melissa. Next time you are hunting try red/yellow and black with sparkles on your nails. I would try it myself to find a "Golden Rebel" but the family might just think that it is time for me to quit this venture😁. ( maybe on my toe nails--I always wear socks ) Marble--On!!
