This is a WVS imho--no maker from me here either.( it may be a Jabo) Nice looker though-- More opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
-
Nice slag Fire--no maker from me-- More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

This one is just under 5/8”. Maybe I have been collecting too long and I get too excited by the weird and rare. This is a Vitro Conqueror with armor involved. I just love this stuff— Marble—On!!
-
OK Fire--it looks like this one is a Pelt--good call PPP--not--lol. Marble--On!!
-
Tricky for sure Fire. I think that it is a Vacor "Zebra". I worked these up on my image editor and the middle one appears to be red white and blue--a wvs of some sort imho. The left one does look like a Jabo to me. Sizes always matter wlmmc. Your images are a bit dark--you will get the hang of it I am sure. The middle one deserves some more attention imho Marble--On!! Marble--On!!

Master Cat's Eyes can show up in any fashion--they are just all over the place. A cage style was not the intention( I can not really figure out the intention). Yes Ric, The quality was this--compete, compete, compete--with the asian influx of marbles that put a few USA marble companies out of business. Master Glass did what they could and sadly went under. These were some of the last from them and you could tell from the quality that they were struggling. This may be why I like them—you can still find a few bags here and there but the pickings are slim—I always like an under-dog. This is just my humble opinion. Marble—On!!

Gropper was a company that marketed marbles (probably a few other toy type items as well). As far as I know, they never made any marbles. They purchased them from a variety of marble making companies and sold them under their own brand name. This is what we in the collecting community call "Jobbers". Cerise may have been a name that Gropper came up with to market them------ Gropper may be one of the original Jobbers of marbles—not too sure here. More opinions are needed for sure. Marble—On!!

Very nice group Ric. These were considered as CAC for a long time--then the digs happened. My hat is off to all of the diggers that did this hobby justice where ID’s are concerned. You were there Ric—good job!!( the dirt under your finger nails may be collectable some day👍) Marble—On!!

Nice marble--just not a flame. Marble--On!!
-
I think that Cheese nailed this one--it is a nice marble!! Marble--On!! Yes--this is very common with green colors in all makes of marbles, old to new. Marble--On!!
-
Many companies made yellow on white marbles. This one may be too common to determine a maker. It is not MFC or CAC imho. I will say this--it is a wvs with a very nice "turkey head". Nice marble-- Marble--On!!
-
I think that Nantucketdink has narrowed this ID down very well. Marble--On!!
-
This may be hard to imagine StevenJustSteven, --but yours has a transparent base glass--the white is dominate for sure in yours--but the base glass was intended to be transparent dominant. The unintended dominate white is what make this one so special. Slags vs swirls is always a good argument—but the slag gurus here have yours penned right. It is a slag—a very, very nice one—top shelf for sure. Slags never cross over to being blended or to becoming swirls--they are just slags some are better than others. Marble—On!!
-
This is a WVS with a blow hole--probably an Alley Agate--no Pelt here-- Whats up Fire--a PPP-really?? Marble--On!!
-
Slags are always hard--nit picky for sure-- I will never stand my ground on a slag ID--the experts on these are dwindling as we all age. Killer slags are still a very base of marble collecting--sadley the knowledge base is being lost--- Marble--On!!
-
Well--They are "flashy" enough for me my marble collecting friend. Dig some info up and get back asap. Love the insight--- Marble--On!!
-
So am I Ric--maybe-- I would sort it an Akro though. I appreciate all opinions and look to see some more. The red is deep!! Marble--On!!
-
This may be one Fire--just sayin. Marble--On!!
-
LOL Fire--I will chime in as needed. Akro Slags came in so many variety's of coverage that I will not count this one out as one. There is a nice amount of white here for any maker---nice bright white--a hard one--for sure-- Ric has a good case--but I am with Chad on this one. For this size--I am not totally convinced that it it is not a CAC. Marble--On!!
-
Nice marble Fire--I think that it is pre MFC--I do not go much beyond that. Maybe Brian Graham will add to this--I forgot his tag--help me out here--anyone-- Marble--On!!
-
My research is done on the interweb nowadays--sadley--the green is all that I could find. PatryD could tell us more-RIP---She just loved these things! Marble--On!!
-
Well--the bidding is getting pretty tuff-- Marble--On!!
-
I see what you have cooking here and I agree--- There is limited info on what you describe as “Canadian slags”. Please feel free to inform us all (me especially). Take up a whole page if necessary—we all love to learn here. Thanks and Marble—On!!
-
Great Job Chad, These "newer" MK's have messed me up more than once--they just look older--lesson learned--(I hope). Marble--On!!
-
Nice observation slag marble. I was not really sold on Akro--perhaps you could share a few images of what you describe--I look forward to seeing them. Thanks--and of course-- Marble--On!!
