"1984 Noble Effort"--it was hard to pick out a favorite here--the butterfly is mine--noble for sure! Who made it? Thanks for sharing this one Alan. Marble--On and Happy New Year!

It could be a polished Imperial--but who does that???. I would rather blow snow out of the driveway---or uggg mow the lawn. Marble--On!!

I get what davesnothere says here especially with number four. The top three are WVS probably Alley agate--#4 may be a screwed up Akro but the way that the yellow mellows out to an almost white reminds me of a Champion made marble. #4 does not belong with the top three—just not the same imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

Nice images! Melissa is right on X2. Master Glass imho. Marble--On!!

This is a normal "what is it to me". We here see many like it. It could be an Alley Agate---or an "Alox". Is it cool--yes it is--is it easy to ID--well not very easy. It is a wvs no doubt. Marble--On!!

I like this type--I think that it is a dug WVS--probably an Alley Agate. I thought Vacor at first but they seem to have better grading than this one has. The damage on this one along with the out of roundness suggest what I think is right. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Yep--at first I thought "Imperial marble". This one is finished too well. Master Made Marbles--even Master Glass Marbles always show up with a nice hard-- well finished surface. No pits or cutline’s are regular with them--they do show up from time to time but Imperials will almost always show some form of unfinished business with the finish. Nice find! Marble—On!!

Thanks Al--great stuff as always. Happy New Year to you! I think that you may just love this stuff as much as I do. Many Happy Returns! Marble--On!!

"Snakeskin"--very cool! I deleted your double post--no worry. I have done it plenty with Chad backing me up. Does this one look like Oxblood to you? It is a very cool marble non-the-less. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!

I know UV but 395 is not in my venacular--please explain this. These marbles remind me of something that I never really got cleared up as far as I can remember. I think Vitro, many thought Akro. This type came in some "Victory" marked "jobber boxes" boxes marketed during the "Bicentennial". The colors are very close to what I found in a Vitro "Fisher Jewel Tray" involving helmets. I will show some images below. I think that the OP are Vitro marbles Marble--On!!

2025 is right around the corner--I consider this my very best find. Marble--On!!

This may be one of the top five that I have seen--maybe top two!! Very nice find--- Marble--On!!

The pouch is Mint--very cool!! Marble--On!!

Very cool find Ric. Marble--On!!

Nuff said, my marble collecting friend. I fill boxes and this template is my go to when sorting, fast efficient and well ---very easy. Cutting hairs with the size--never have been a big fan of this. One after another--millions made--all the same run--size did matter but not that much. Marble--On!!

Great Post Ric---and by the way--welcome back once again. Marble--On!!

It works though--pretty well. Marble--On!!

That is the coolest non-marble bag that I have ever seen Tommy. ohh--cool marbles too😁. Marble--On!!

Keep them coming--this one is just--well---. Marble--On!!

Welcome our marble friend! Show us what you have to offer. Marble--On!!

Thanks VaMarbles!. Marble--On!!

If you mean Vacor--I love em--nuf said--it just takes some research. Marble--On!!

@Chad G. @cheese@Al Oregon@Alan @stephenb@Ric@Gladys@Shamrock Marbles@Nantucketdink@Tommy@akronmarbles--lets fire this one up. You are all the backbone of marble collecting here--I have forgot quite a few--forgive me--I am getting old too---. Bring them in if you can, the others that I forget. Just step up and show what it was all about and still, is to this day, the top notch in your collection! Show us what you love! Happy 2025--almost---- I jus love this stuff an I know that you all do as well. Marble--On!!

I agree--nuff said! Marble--On!!

This one is a Vacor "Zebra" imho--just a really nice one. @Mojo has seen more of these weird ones than I ever have. I have no doubt that Vacor uses "cullet", or glass from other companies--this may explain the "glow". @Andy McLaughlin from Alaska has seen even more than @Mojo but he is probably out fishing--he wrote the books on these Vacor "weirdos". I would love him to check in during the luul in fishing/hunting/being an Alaskan—. Marble—On!!
