Post some images of the different sides. No dust-clean it well before taking the images. It was my first reaction as well. Marble--On!!

It could appear that way--just less glass to shine light through is my opinion. Marble--On!!

Nice marble Tommy! Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as an Akro. I appreciate all opinions, maybe we will see some more. Marble--On!!

Nice Job Mojo, They all ran for me but I am old fashioned geek running Windows 11 on a PC. Marble--On!!

I agree with Al. Put these in a pretty jar and sell them at a rummage sale and ask $30 then be surprised. They will be scooped up. Marble-On!!

Very early in my collecting craze I would toss these into a bucket along with the cat-eyes from overseas and a great majority of Marble Kings. Just another Vitro I would say to myself—into the bucket. I do know my Vitro today—the names elude me yet and I have to do research to name them. I was then and will always be a collector of Akro corks—I wonder----how many Vitro marbles that I have tossed aside. I always kept the Pelts that were mint but “now-a-days” does that really matter? I may have to dump some buckets and get into it a bit more. Thanks Ric! Marble—On!!

The left one is probably an Akro Agate patch--I think that rather than reversing the cutline’s you just turned it upside down—the other side will tell for sure. Yes I look-----maybe too much! The one on the right looks like a Jabo "Classic"to me. The middle one may be a Vacor “Yellow Jacket” they came in a variety of colors. It maybe a Vacor “Red Devil”, Vacor markets marbles under different names around the world and also in mixed groups with a variety of names. @Melissa has the dibs on these Vacors and I alway appreciate her input. @Mojo is also a great one to ask for a Vacor ID. Mojo is a collector from overseas and see's what we may not here in the USA Marble—On!!

Me too--although I have never seen one like this before. I worked this one on my photo editor and the red looks more like Pelt than Kokomo imho. The debris is very cool and---well no help there. Marble--On!! It may not be a bag or net thing Steph--it may be one of many but---not that many. I agree wit the Pelt ID

Nice marble! It screams MK to me. Marble--On!!

Pretty funny, here are a few. Marble--On!!

That jar has me drooling. It is all in the eye that beholds them. The CAC that you posted are all pretty nice finds and believe it or not--the money shot on that yellow/green swirl has me looking at it more than the others. Marbles like this may the veggie side dish of CAC types but they can get pretty wild too. Luv it! Do not drop the jar. It has a few more treasures for sure. Marble--On!!

I am OK with #5 being Akro. The "lemonaide" looks like a patch that swirled--not a corkscrew imho. Charlie may be right on with the Pelt ID--it should glow--very brightly. Nice group for sure. Marble--On!!

X2-- Marble--On!!

Cool marble for sure. The "Germans" that I am used to seeing are lighter green. This may be the first Master slag that I have seen, and I agree with the slag ID. I am so used to calling them "patch types". I agree with the Master ID. Marble--On!!

Oops!

#200 tin box. I scan the top and include an image inside the top. The "Flintie" shooters are the hardest to find imho. Marble--On!!

Good eye Melissa, I may have had too much pollen in my system yesterday🤪. It could also be a Master Made Marble--"Meteor"? These are difficult to tell apart-- for me at least. Marble--On!!

Vacors are world wide--many different names though for the same marble. They are an ancient company. Marble--On!!

Ummm--the one one the right is what I might consider as a CAC swirl given the images. More images of this one are needed for sure. I agree with the rest. Marble--On!!

I think that @Steph has some info covered in the "Study Hall" Nantucketdink. I am sure that she is willing to help you with your interest in this. Marble--On!!

Show us the shooters--that would be cool. I have from time to time gone through my "disgards" and found a few "Yasudas". I consider them to be keepers now--just not back then. Marble--On!!

I know that you like the Coke stuff Mojo so good for you. I love to see when a collector gets his/her mojo on😁. The Logo may be a clue as to the age but you would have to research it via Europe imho. Then again it may have been used as a selling point usung an aged logo. I have a feeling that most of this type ended up in the scrap bin, they just did not work out marketing wise. You may have what we here in the USA regard as "lunchbox marbles". Marbles that did not work out well but were cool enough to bring home in the "lunchbox"--in a sneaky fashion. Like stealing toilet paper from work (I never did this). NEVER!😁. Thanks for sharing them--they are quite rare imho. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!

They were very competitive, these two companies. There are many stories of some very dark stuff that may have occurred between the two. Ultimately Master Marble Company won out and purchased Akro. The Japanese influx of marbles eventually shut them both down. Master Glass Company (the newer name for Master) used Akro boxes and marbles in the final sales era. They never did too well aesthetically with their cats-eye rendition but they tried and of course they worked. I love a good Master Glass Cat—most are pretty crappy looking but some are just killer. Hope this helps, Marble—On!!
