I would lean towards a Vacor here. Maybe a "Rooster"? Marble--On!!

This one is a very nice Master Marble. Shine it up and be proud of it! Marble--On!!

You are posting a bunch of dug marbles here for sure. To narrow it down to the two that you are listing???? Dug Champions are low on the list of dug marbles--if there was ever a dig? I do not recall one--just some folly that took place after they shut down as I recall. I have a bunch of Champions that were "Found in an old trailer"--I wonder--they are all mint. @cheese would know about any major digs. The digs produced a lot of information but they also showed that the marble companies were researching each other at the very least. Each dig, regardless of the site, produced marbles from different companies. The only dig that I have not heard of is Master Marble----Champion may have been one--but I do not recall it. Peltier was just a limited version of the major digs--to find a dug Pelt is a true find. Marble--On!!

You are doing OK--(I like it). Just a tad more cropping action. Marble--On!! -
Good idea--this one is special imho. Marble--On!!
-
More than likely an Old Alley Agate imho. I do not really even think that it was dug--maybe some fire damage. Marble--On!!

Your last one is an Akro Oxblood Patch--a very nice find! Marble--On!!

Hello. I have inherited several marbles.

3-4 at a time with good well cropped images and several angles. Sunlight is the best light. We will do our best here to help you with your ID. Marble--On!! -

Your last image in this post shows Akro on the two bottom rows--all are corkscrews--nice ones. The top row--left to right shows an Akro Cornelian--they used to call these bricks so excuse the seller-the final three are all Pelts. A "Ketchup and Mustard", a nice "Citrus"(imho) and a wild "Rainbo". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Hmmmm, I have a bunch of Vacor and I researched them for years now. "Super Nova" is a new name to me. (Vacor has a lot of names to keep up with so excuse me here---Vacor has been guilty of renaming marbles for years) I would call all of these "Spumoni". ( I thought that they were retired?) I am just and old Fart with old Vacor names in my mind. Nice marbles regardless of the name--nice collection as well. Marble--On!!

Akro my marble collecting friend. Marble--On!!

Frit marbles are made yet today--by many marble companies throughout the world. The first ones were made by folks actually standing next to the rollers and throwing/tossing/spreading glass bits--or frit on the hot, out of the oven marble on the rollers. I am sure that this has been refined a bit--at least I hope that it is. They are a very hard marble to ID unless you are like Al, with some original packaging. The most desirable are the ones that Vitro tried--they are rare and without proper history or providence--I would never bid on one. I like them--but they all look quite the same to me. Marble--On!!

Slow down here folks. Some members have been accused of "trolling". That does not mean blood in the water. Lets try to be nice and put the past behind us and move on. We were all Rookies at one time or another--I took my lumps for sure. I just corrected my approach and continue to do so still to this day. Marble--On!!

Size is always an important Factor in Marble ID. I am now convinced that this one is a Peltier Rainbo. It is a nice one for sure. These bigger marbles do not show up like the smaller ones--and visa virsa--the peewees also may be a hard ID compared to the 5/8" or 9/16" that we are all used to seeing--the 3/4" seem to fall in line pretty well. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
It might just be a wonky Pelt Rainbo.

This one is more than likely a WVS--I would guess Ravenswood here. Marble--On!!
