Whether it is Master or Akro, the red color looks to fit the oxblood look. I'd have it with my oxbloods.

Nice to read old stories and have someone research current information. Thanks for posting it.

If you can take some individual pics of each bag (close-ups)and post them here, we can give you a general idea. From the overall view, they appear to all be machine made marbles (meaning no old turn of the century German ones). The 3 labeled bags at the bottom are called fantasy bags (people made them up starting in mid-1990's - worth maybe $3 each. Other than that, more close-up pictures will be needed.

Great information Chuck - thank you for sharing.

Nice remembrance pics.

I have a few corks listed on Facebook if you had not already seen them. https://www.ebay.com/sch/arasmus/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

What about an Alox swirl?

As far as flames, upper left and right don't have 4+ flames on a side and last one is questionable. As for Alley, I am leaning away but not sure if Heaton or Champion or...?

On the bottom row, the blue & red one is a corkscrew. As far as the hybrid term, a lot of corks have more than one color and some of them are "blended" colors or striated. I usually don't see the term hybrid used with corks very often.

Left and bottom look like Trilites. Right almost has a helmet feeling to it. Top looks Peltier but...?

Not mine but pic I saved - nyah, nyah....

Great job on the dig and the marble ID pictures.

Agree with Alley Corals. No Vacors similar to those.

I'd go foreign but not a common one that I have seen before.

2nd picture makes me think Peltier but it is a little wonky for a Rainbo.

That one in the middle almost reminds me of the Jabo cork - starts but does not finish.

Pretty and not that anemic

Hey, I visited Joe when we were on our South American cruise...........LOL.

Dr. Marbles, I believe, is Jason Jura. From all things I have seen, he appears to be honest - takes returns and refunds money if necessary. Once in a while he may erroneously ID a marble, like we all do, and is good on making it right.

Vitro looks logical.

Agree

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).
