The ones that you show are all foreign to the good ole USA. Your first image—the one on the right. Find a bunch of this type (maybe 100) and post them- in a big group—we can pick them out and tell you what we want you to show in a more closely chosen group. Make these images nice and sharp—well cropped and we all will pick out a few to ID for you. This is tuff—The ID of marbles—this is what we all do here —do not hold back—give us your best images and be rewarded. This will take some work from you—just do not give up—spend a day or two at Marbles ID and you may become a collector—like the rest of us nutty folks’ here. Marble—On!!

Welcome RachelWB to “TheMarbleConnection”, You are going to need a lot of help here and I hope that you get it from us here at “TheMarbleConnection”. I am not really into contemporary hand-made marbles but that is what you are showing us here except for one--#2. I will suggest that image #3 is made with fiber Optic Cable and that #2 is just a beat up, very old, machine made slag.*(not hand-made) The white pig is called a Sulphide but I do not recognize the signature. Many modern glass makers try these and most fail—this one is not too shabby imho. The last pig trio is more than likely made with a polymer clay. I collect Pigs for some reason and I like this group. If your marbles all resemble these, your inheritor / inheritress were into modern stuff that will still hold some value. I suggest that you look through the collection and find the smaller marbles with three colors involved or more. Size does matter in marble collecting but most of the value in this hobby is with those one inch or smaller. Marble—On!!

Love it--anything round--we are like Wolves on a blood trail--when it is round🐺. Marble--On!!

You keep them coming--two or three at a time---all sides (four). We are all here because of marbles--show us yours and be proud about it. The folks here will coach you on how to really shoot a marble (image wise). Marble--On!!

OK --I get it. Nice post though! Marble--On!!

At least half of of us guys are girls here--not me lol--I am a straight guy--tried and true. The females on this board are equals if not advanced from the guys and I will alway point this out when I have an opportunity to do so. I/we appreciate all collectors regardless of gender. If you were a coin collector/seller--just get a handle on your images. You were used to shooting flat images--just focus on the upper side--just below the top of the marble--start with that and move on. Practice makes perfect.....we did this with film in the past--uploaded--copied and uploaded --What a drag--now I can take 100 images and pick out the best in a minute or two. You can do it--I know that you can. Marble--On!!

Marble--ON!!

This one is well worth picking up and looking at--I can feel it here, the excitement of finding it and not wanting to put it down. We have all been bit by this feeeling--we ALL have been here. Pick it up--feel it--put it back down--come back--feel it --look at it--put it back down--come back--maybe a bad call--put it back down. Come back and just say--I like it so what the hell--this is collecting. I just love this stuff--if you like it--collect it. Just try to keep yourself in check and make sure that you will be happy with it. If you have to hide it from your wife or partner--you did wrong. Marble--On!!

I would never say "Just an Akro". This one is a great Akro Slag. CAC did some great slags--so great that they got their own names. This one is a great Akro and it matches up with any CAC--just not price wise/name wise. This is of course my humble opinion and I hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Nice find! Marble--On!!

I like them both--they are later versions of Akro but that does not make them new. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice finds--both of them! Marble--On!!

Well, first of all, every company made orange and white swirls of some sort. These colors just caught the eye and the sunlight for what they were made for--playing marbles. None of these were made for collectors--just players. This one is an old wvs made for players--not collectors. Probably an Alley Agate but who really knows? It is just a nice old swirl imho. Marble--On!!

Pelt Rainbos came in as many colors as did the Akro Corks and they can always be a hard tell in these weird colors. The purple tint in the white makes me lean away from Peltier and I agree with foriegn made. Probably from across the Atlantic imho. Marble--On!!

Nice and busy for sure. This one is an Allley Agate imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Not me--Nice Vitro. Marble--On!!

Nice size--nice marble!! Marble--On!!

Nice find! When sorting marbles these can be easy to pass up on. Marble--On!!

I agree. Akro made many 100 count boxes of patches and they included ten of each at the very least--some are just--well--patches. Marble--On!!

X3 Marble--On!!

30 years ago--I would say common--these are getting harder and harder to find in todays world. I have always loved this type. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

I love a good "MasterMadeMarble" as well. You keep posting what you have and we will continue to enjoy them along with you. Check out "Stephs Study Hall" for some more or just do a search on Masters here on "TheMarbleConnection". You will be rewarded and happy to see so many varitions of these top notch--collectable marbles. Marble--On!

Well, the first one looks pretty cool Mountain Heir. You have to give us a clearer picture of the marble with different sides of it for a better opionion. Size always matters with marble ID. Marble--On!!

Probably Alley Agate--no Akro here. The box would triple the price for sure. Still a nice find imho. Marble--On!!

Five inch? Do not get me wrong here, I love all orbs for some reason😁. Mable--On!

?😁. Marble--On!!
