  1. You will not find many Master Made Marbles with defects like "metal included". This is a top shelf Master imho-very rare. Marble--On!!

    Pelt?

    I doubt that the black is opaque. Get a strong pen-light underneath it and look again. I am guessing that it looks purple.(maybe brown) The white is opalescent imho and many marble companies use "cullet glass" or leftover glass from the factory that mad "Ponds Cold Cream" Jars. This one is not a Peltier. It is a WVS or West Virginia Swirl that includes many companies. My guess ( I suck at WVS ID) would be Alley Agate. I appreciate the nice images, the size and you patience here. Marble--On!!
  3. I agree with Al here. These type usually show up as "Bulls Eyes" in my experience. Nice find! Marble--On!!

    No idea

    I would sort this one as a Vitro. There is a company name for these and I can not remember it---. I like it and the cousins to it. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--I may be reaching here. Marble--On!!

    MK?

    That is a small one and it reminds me of some that I have held in hand from the "Akro digs". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  6. Vacor imho Parmcat. Research some of @Steph posts. Or go to the Study hall and do a search. Steph always liked these. Marble--On!!
  7. X2--nice one--no name from me. @Mojo knows his Vacor--lets reach out to him. Marble--On!!
  8. We will all help you here for sure. Your first image shows a group of Peltier Rainbos. Each group of your marbles deserves a seperate post. Do so and expect better results. Marble--On!!
  9. Your images rae "Grainey" a hard ID for anyone. The first one in the calipers tells me Vacor. Marble--On!!
  10. Umm, No--- I think that you have a rare Akro Agate "White Slag" here. These are hard to shoot and they will show up with a greyish tint under many cameras regardless of the lighting involved. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  11. Too many---!! Slow down to three or four at a time--we are not that fast. Marble--On!!
  12. The green is transparent my marble collecting friend. This is a nice big one-over 7/8". Few companies made this size or larger. MFC, CAC and Akro Agate come into my groggy memory ( I may need a reboot--lol). I would call this one an Akro Agate slag. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

    2 x Vacors

    Early Vacor for sure. These type were my first ever marble purchase back in the early 90's late 80's. I was sure that they may have been CAC “Guineas”. There was not much info on machine made’s back then. They were in an old chicken coop at a yard sale, covered in dust and well--chicken stuff. This type helped to start my adventure and research into collecting toy glass marbles. Marble--On!
  14. X whatever. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  15. A big old "sunset" imho. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  16. Get back in line my marble collecting friend. Marble--On!!
  17. Nice finds Alta! The last one is just--well--KILLER--nice marbles. Thanks for sharing them here. Marble--On!!

    X3-- just a weaker version with different colors of one that you posted earlier today. Marble--On!!

    This is probably a Vitro. I have seen Vitro "Caged Cats" with these colors involved. You could call it a cat or a swirl but these bigger ones never acted the same (.90) right? I would not be surprised to find this one in a mix of similar Vitro Cats. Nice find--good ask, Nice images!!! All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!
  20. I see it and it has a scratch behind it. I have a great imagination so bear with me. This one may have a glancing blow from a "Steelie". Or maybe someone bounced it on the basement floor during the winter months. I think that it is a hit mark--e-nuf said from me. Not a big deal--just not mint. Marble--On!!
  21. akroorka

    ???

    Well, I looked at a bit. I would call it a Peltier Bannana--well used of coarse. Peltier Bannanas have some of the best ever produced crystal clear base glass. Marble--On!!

    ???

    More than likely, you have a Vitro here. A Catseye. We used to call these "hybrid" or somehing like that but they were made on purpose this way in a multude of colors and combinations. Imho--some of the best cats every made--probably early 60'S. I have not seen one like yours before but that is not too hard to imagine. The colors in these run the whole spectrum and they show some greatt clear glass. A very nice marble to collect--you will never run out of color combos. @Al Oregon has many bags of these I am sure--they seem to have packaged them with the same colors in my experience--or maybe I am thinking of the caged types?? Another great cat to collect. Marble--On!!
  23. Hmmm? No Gentleman owns a Lady imho--just sayin🚫. I know what you meant--just double check your posts please. I would stay away. I do not collect old"Germans" but this may be a newer "German" imho. The bubbles in the white--all new to me-never seen it before. Marble--On!!

    Five vanes here Alta. Your last image confirms this. It is a nice example--but pretty common, Marble--On!!
