Years ago, especially with the Popeye Patches, they looked similar to Vitros so the name "Vitro Popeye" popped up (pun intended). However, it was determined that these were all Akro, so there is no Vitro Popeye. As for the bottom two, as you noted, Akro really did not make swirls like these. The right one could be CAC but probably is Alley. The left one, the size throws me. I do think Alley, however. All very mice marbles.

Middle looks like Peltier Multicolor Rainbo (MCR). Other two look like Transitionals (not my area as to where from).

Bring that backhoe and dump truck(s) - start filling them up. You could dump them on your land and start a marble digging amusement park for kids (and their parents...).

Yes, nice find. I have not seen anything like this bag nor pictures of it before.

I see no pics here and links shown don't go to any pics

I was thinking Vacor in the bottom group.

I'd go Alley on first group with possibility of CAC on the bottom one. Cat's-eyes are all Vitro Hybrid cat's-eyes except for center one. Bottom pics look foreign except maybe for top one.

This was one of my favorites. Akro Limeade cork with yellow.

There are aa couple 3-color in there in a couple of the pics but the 2-color vastly outnumber them. I hope these pics help.

Some Anacortes packaging

Corkscrews have always been my favorites. I have a few trays along this line.

I somehow lost a group of ID's of Corals on a bunch of marbles that I had. Here is an old picture of the two boxes. Probably searching "Corals" on this tie might bring up those pics that I posted for confirming ID's. Main thing is that there are many marbles that are closer (red & green) but not all are Corals. Ignore the Pelt in the middle of the top box.

And, of course, the Pearlized

Nice ones - good variety.

You can always put the marbles in plastic trays (labeled) and stack the trays to save space. Then pull them out to show as needed. Small trays of 25 for marbles up to 11/16 and larger trays of 35 that hold a little larger marbles.

The two marbles in the last 4 pictures do not look Peltier to me. I'd say WV swirls - maybe Alley on left and Champion on right. The only Peltier Golden Dragon pic that I saved was one posted by well known collector (now deceased) Les Jones back in 2000. Here is the picture.

All Vitro - many Tiger Eyes (there are different pattern types).

Nice find!

Yes, Dani does still sell on consignment.

eBay is still a good way if you have good pics. There are several FB pages for specific companies and some seem pretty active on sales. Dani sells quite a few that way. With good marbles, I'd do individual or small groups of same marbles.

Looks similar to a couple pics that I have of Red Bee. Also, marblealan had posted a couple pictures that look similar to this and named Ruby Bee (no AV showing on his) and also someone pictured a similar one as Golden Dragon. I'll confuse you more.

Here is my Red Cloud for comparison.

Ron can probably explain all if he pops up. I copied a few things over the years. Here is a post by Ron back in 2002. After Marvella's Marble Show, we received a phone call from a collector in Canada requesting more information about the Champion Furnace marbles. Because of his previous connection with the Champion Agate Co, I called Dave McCullough (JABO) and asked for any details he might have about these marbles and this is what he told me: In the mid 90's Roger Jones, a very knowledgeable glassworker at Champion, used glass from the Paul Wissmach Glass Co in Paden City, WV to wash out the tanks when changing runs. This was done a couple of time a month. The reason for the fractures is that the marble glass was not compatible with the glass from Wissmach (Wissmach makes plate and cathedral glass). Mr. Jones told Dave that the yellow glass from Wissmach worked best for his purposes and I suppose that is why yellow furnace marbles are the most common color. BTW, this practice would have stopped in 1996 or 1997 when Mr. Jones passed away. ---------------------------- I have not searched this Forum but there may be other information in the Forum. As mentioned, the yellow is a common color. Also, they are pretty transparent overall when you backlight them. I think looking at examples is the best way to learn them. Here is a picture of my furnace marbles from a few years past. They can have fractures in them = pretty common.

First group - upper left - MK. Others Jabo.

Looks Vitro to me also
