I would wait for some more opinions before making any judgment. Marble--On!!

Akro marketed "Cardinal Reds" in a box marked as such in both slags and corkscrews--be carefull while looking. Killer marbles, both of the styles. Marble--On!!

Akro imho, I appreciate all opinions--especially when it is snowing out❄️. Marble--On!!

No name, I am not going to disagree that this one is a Master Made Marble—nice bigger one. “Mica” the term is reserved for antique ( or newer) handmade marbles imh-experience. Aventurine has been reserved for “Machine Made” Marbles as far as I know. This one shows what looks like “Mica”—just unresolved or uncooked recipe glass. Pretty rare for Master Glass Made Marbles imho—they cooked their glass pretty long looking to match the hand-made’s of that era. I just love this stuff—really—nice marble Fire! Marble—On!!

LOL--- I remember--I still use them. I would call it a Pelt before I called it an Akro--just me though. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!!

The finish on the seams look MK to me--the yellow is quite anemic for Vitro--the blue is very deep for a MK of this type. Is that oxblood that is buried? I need some more opinions here before I can call it. Marble--On!!

I would say Vitro just based on the base glass color--. More opinons are needed here. Marble--On!!

Lets call in @Fire1981 and @Chad G.--this may just be a Pelt. Cool marble regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!

Agreed Al--nice ID It is not mint--so few were--but in this color combo--not too shabby Nice find. Marble--On!!

Killer marble! Cosmic Rainbo five fingered cat?? I have seen some pretty nice Cateyes before--this may be the best ever--Top Notch. It is not what I would consider as a normal Vitro Hybrid Cat--or even a special one--this one knocks out all contenders. It may have happened during a cross over from one type to another---well maybe--we were not there--just a best guess? The AV does not surprise me but it is an added bonus for sure. The color green in most makes and models of manufactured marbles will show a tendancy to have un-absorbed (is that a word?) minerals that were used in the recipe process. I know lighting is bad these day but I would love to see it in direct sunlight--at least through the window. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble--On!!

Some blue--some pink?--Nice marble--consider Cairo. Lets ask @cheese for an opinion here. Maybe @Ric is around again, he knows his swirls very well. This is a nice one regardless of the maker. Marble--On!!

Vacor Roosters--love em, These were and are made in a variety of runs and the colors that I show are just a small example of the shades and fill. Some of these base colors I could swear are orange. They all have one thing in common—the lack of a bubble filled base glass. The red is very clear and well made while the white has a tendency to run or melt/spread on the surface. The Vacor website claims that these have “Orange Swirls” but I have not seen any on the surface—just buried under the “Red”. I will include an image of akro vs these—the last one. Marble—On!!

Good luck! That last image--just a very nice pelt--all are nice but this one is one that I have not seen before-- Very cool Tommy. Marble--On!!

I am getting Vitro “Conqueror” vibes here. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble—On!!

@Chad G.may have the answer here. The "ground" Pontil appears to have been melted too. The other side--the twist is more than likely melted also. Just mho-- Marble--On!!

Different--I will just throw this out there--- Jabo--in the production days--made some pretty ugly big swirls--just sayin. Marble--On!!

I agree with Vitro--I just cannot pin it down too close--"Trilite" of some form imho. Nice marble! Nice images--- Marble--On!!

You did a good sorting job here. The first image deserves a better background--white or gray. Marble--On!!

Ya never know do ya--Nice find!! Marble--On!!

Nice images--Nice Jabo"classic"---one from the factory-not the "special runs". Marble--On!!

This one is an Akro Patch imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Well William--these images look pretty nice on a large screen PC imho-- The bad news is that this is a common WVS imho. Marble--On!!

I am on the same limb Alan-- a weird one but a good catch and ID by you----great job--great eye. I think that this one is a crossover between a vacor "Zebra" and someting else that included some sparkle. This one was missed during quality control. A very rare Vacor imho. No name from me--- Marble--On!!

Lets get this straight--"Imperial" did not make marbles---they were/are a jobber out of California--they did sell marbles for sure but they purchased them--repackaged them and sold them. Most are from Asian countries--a whole bunch of them--some may be from Mexico. Check out some Imps on e-bay and check the country of origin on the box. The Imperial name is one that has been used for many years—just not real though—just a re-seller. Marble—On!! I agree with Al here for sure-- Marble--On!!

I get what Chad says here but many folks collect these screen printed logo types. It is not a bad thing to collect--just do not over pay is what Chad is saying here I am sure. I am forced not to get into these because the sky is the limit.....I like them for some reason--just holding back--a collectors demise for sure. Nice finds my marble collecting friend--collect what you like for sure. This type has been collected for many years--here is my best ever--- Marble--On!!
