Agree, not an Akro corkscrew. Could go with an Alley but...?

Hmmmm, maybe a WVS - Alley?

Slag makes more sense. In a wirepull, you can follow the "wire" or ribbon around inside the marble and it doesn't merge with itself or "smear", etc.

Left - contemporary; right - ? If the contemporary has name or initials, may have a little value depending on the maker but looks pretty simple so the few buck range at most.

Peltier Rainbo; PPP; foreign; maybe a faded Bennington or similar marble from that era.

Agree

But they are neat looking.

Left 3 lean to Alley for me. Right one, based on last pic, has me leaning Peltier Rainbo but...?

Vacor Atmospheres questions to the owner.
Al Oregon replied to stephenb's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
The owners / former owners would probably know their competitors over the years and may know which competitors made the "marbles made in Mexico" that were purchased by Imperial and others. -

When I visited the Vacor factory in Guadalajara some years ago, their "sorters" sat on stools at a high rectangular table and pulled marbles (same style) out of a 50 gallon drum after they had cooled down for couple days. They threw the damaged ones into another smaller barrel and put the good ones in boxes to send to the other part of the factory that did the packaging into bags. They had 3-4 quonset style buildings, each about football field size where they did their work. They would not let me take pictures inside the factory.
