    The major companies all made game marbles and many of the solid color game marbles do shows patterns like MK, Vitro, etc. The original one is probably an MK game (Chinese Checkers) marble.
  2. Al Oregon
    They look like MK.

    Ron, that's great that you are involved with that marble group training for the Nationals. Kids involved with tangible things seems like it should be a priority for parents, teachers, and people in general. Thank you.

    In this climate of Internet, etc., any marble club can be "national". I belong to West Virginia MCC, Texas Marble Club, IAMC, etc.

    I see the listing was cancelled. Hopefully they heeded your information.

    Vacor?

    Lower left is Champion - Hot Wheels?

    No middle ribbon all the way around so not Tiger Eye. Looks like Conqueror style but base glass is wonky color.

    And a lot of foreign cat's-eyes with some Imperial types (green with color stripes) in the one pic below the cat's-eyes.

    Very nice!

    Great info - thanks for sharing.

    Foreign?

    Al Oregon replied to Melissa's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    Left I might put in Wales category but still Japanese. The Wales kinda look like Vitro.
  12. Al Oregon
    Agree with Ron.
  13. Al Oregon
    The lower two look a little odd but others red looks like Pincers.

    Peltier

    Originally a 6 finger Pelt but..... new names.

    Great pictures!

    Akro Cornelian maybe. Not worth restoring IMHO.
  17. Al Oregon
    This may help a little. I think Ron was involved in the run also so he may chime in.

    1, 3 & 7 would need another view or two. 2, 4, 5, & 6 are probably Alley. 15 is Marble King Bengal Tiger (older style). 22 & 23 are Peltier Rainbos.
  19. Al Oregon
    Pretty snakes!
  20. Al Oregon
    Did you take it to a tech to see if he/she can salvage the pictures?
  21. Al Oregon
    Hard to tell if it is a complete corkscrew pattern - might be a Jorkscrew (partial cork on a Jabo).
  22. Al Oregon
    As you mention, keep ones that have distinct patterns or are otherwise "different". You may want to keep an example of each color and size (that'll be a lot by itself). As mentioned, you may buy a box of Chinese Checkers (Vitro, Akro, etc.) and need to replace or fill one in. Or a fellow collector may be looking for a certain type.

    I went back and looked at some more pictures of the MK St. Mary's cat's-eyes and there are wavy vanes that show up so I'll "reverse" my comment and say they could be St. Mary's cat's-eyes.
  24. Al Oregon
    Right idea. The wavy vanes throw me off a little as far as MK St. Mary's.
  25. Al Oregon
    I don't think it is Vacor Liberty. As mentioned, they did not have green in them. It fits all of the colors for MCS and, as we all know, there are a bunch of "screwed up" Pelts out there.
