Nice images for sure. I know that it took some work. The size is always important in marble ID. I know, you did great image work and were exited to post it. I have been there and done this--many timesš. The details in writing are also important. Marble--On!!

Ummm--more images are needed here. Both poles with good cropping and light. A few at a time--sizes are important. At this point--all that I see are Akro imho. Get back with some more info and-- Marble--On!!

This one is a corkscrew--nice find! The damage on it approaches it to being a "Dug Marble". A little toothbrush action will clean it up though. Love it as is--this is just me. Marble--On!!

The one in the middle-greyish/white/brown--Love it! The top right resembles a Veliglass--very cool find imho. The one between them--just a killer marble!( is it oxblood in there?) Thanks for sharing Ric! Marble--On!!

@shiroaiko will help us here--no doubt! Marble--On!! -
Fun stuff @Ric we all want them "In Hand"š. I am kind of embarrassed that I did not call in CAC to tell the truth. All toldāgreat job by all. These CAC Yellows are not always the sameāquite different to tell the truth. I have a good feeling that @cheese called this one right. Nice Marble!! MarbleāOn!!

There are 2 marbles posted here right Joe2? I would consider the first one--which is the best imho--(I suck @wvs ID) but I would consider Ravenswood here. Nice bright white as a batch glass would be Lets call In @cheese for an opinion. Marble--On!!

My first though was "Nice Vitro" and I will stick with it. @7/8" it looks very "Minty". The cutlines and the colors line up with Vitro imho. This is a varient of some form--The big ones never act like the little cousins. This one is just one great find imho Fire. Lets call in @Melissa for an opinion here. Marble--On!1

Nice box--Mega is getting old. The big yellow one is called a "Bannana Swirl" imho and I agree that it looks like a slag (very nice, these may fool some CAC folks). The big Angelo needs more images but from what I can tell, in what I have found in my archives, they tried to match some of the big ones with the smaller ones. These boxes came with a bunch of different combos--yours is a nice one. I found two of these on Ebay. One is marked differently--but the same thing. Hmm I rechecked my post and one lists China? I love "WaveBreakers" those are Vacor. The links are below.

Nice colors--is there pink involved? These Akros always keep me smiling--Nice "Popeye" very nice! Marble--On!!

You are not a snob Ric--just sayinš. When I first started collecting all that I kept were "Mint". I collected glass/ceramics before I started with marbles--mint meant everything back then--still does. I did keep the rest though--until My wife found "of all buckets" in the basement--"The Special Bucket". One quart Ball Jar at a time during a rummage sale. Ouch! We are still Married!. Marble--On!!

A thin filament orange Vacor shooter. The name please?
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
is right. No one is flawless and I think that Moon Marble put an Asian made in with some Vacors. I may be mistaken as well--nothing new hereš. Marble--On!! -

Well if it did not matter--what are we doing hereš? Just sayin Fire--it is all true though. Marble--On!
