I get it--still blond @71

This is the key as far as I am concerned--a Peewee. These marbles never act the same as the larger 5/8" marbles which were the more common sized ones. Some of our old "retired" friends did not think that Vitro ever made peewees. I agree and would ask you all to consider Akro here—just in respect. Marble—On!! -
I have not seen this Rainbo before--Nice find. I agree with all of the above. Nice find--and kinda rare imho. Marble--On!!
-
I like this one too--it is a wvs and the blue in the background makes me wonder what it may be. A Ravenswood?? The size is right, Ravenswood made more 9/16" marbles than any other maker. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Great ID imho--keep it going. Once you get a handle on the simpler versions of Peltier Rainbos-such as this one--you will be off and running. Rainbos are a nice thing to collect--just like Corkscrews from Akro--you will find it a hard time to collect them all. There are thousands of variations----- Marble--On!!

I see why you ask about oxblood--good eye. Close but no cigar--you keep up the good work and study as well. This one is a Vitro Conqueror varient imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more here. Great ask! Marble--On!!

Nice Master! Marble--On!!

Size? Nice marble by the way-- Marble--On!!
-
A very nice find--congrats! Marble--On!!
-
These are great images--these are hard to shoot. The clear base is very nice and clear--well cooked glass. @YasudaCollector may have some input here to share with us all. @shiroaiko knows these marbles as well as anyone on the planet. Marble--On!!

You have to remember to list the size Wolf. At this point--I would call it an Alox. Marble--On!!

Hungarian is an easy out here. I suggest that someone with a torch did their very best here to make a nice looking marble. The little black spots surrounding the pole at the top image speak torch made to me at least. This one just lacks the finesse that collectors most look for. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

A thick Vitro Tri Lite? This is my best here. Marble--On!!
-
Size??--It always matters Wolf--always. What concerns me here is the finish and that lack of "shinyness" or glassy finish that pushes me towards a WVS that is older than a Jabo. I do not really see any CAC here. Just me--and I do look--very hard. Nice marble regardless. Nice share! Marble--On!!
-
I agree both very similar and Vitro imho. The green base may be a result of your imaging but it does look a tad weird to me. I love -em. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with "Favorites" here. This may be a Vitro Tri lite--may even a "Superior". Regardless of the ID--nice marble! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
This one reminds me of some that are from Asia--they usually have a shiny(a loss for words here ) spray coat in my experience. Marble--On!!
-
Nice marbles VA! That middle one lights up the show for sure--Pink? in a Popeye?? Very cool. Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!
-
Welcome back Ric! I for one, have missed you here. I am sure that we all do here at "TheMarbleConnection". Marble--On!!

His voice did the sinking of this ship just the respect that it needed. Great Post William.
-
Well, I do not get the name but I agree that they are very well made marbles. The clearity of the first one will hold up to any machine made marbles across the globe. I just love a nice clear matrix. Thanks for the info--- Marble--On!!
-
Yep, that whip tail is just awesome to find in what I would call a wvs of some sort or make. I am not willing to call this one a CAC however. I will lean towards Alley Agate. Great share here! Marble--On!!
-
Thanks for this info GreyMaus. Any hog farmer that makes marbles is a respected member of the marble community---for sure. Marble--On!!
-
@Chad G. can help you out here--great marble!! Marble--On!!

This is a new term for me--I always appreciate an education. Marble--On!!
