Not Conquerors. Larger marbles have a little more value - few bucks.

Agree

Looking at it logically, they mention bag of marbles so probably all are same company (Akro). So probably not handmade peppermint marbles - maybe real candy shaped like marbles (i.e. round). JMHO. By trhe way, neat ad - thaks for sharing.

My precious childhood marbles !
Al Oregon replied to Ms.Marbleous's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Nice variety. Big MFC green slag on top. Looks like Bennington or right. Blue Alley flame on left. -
Looks like left and right are swapped in first pic. Using 2nd & 3rd pic, left is probably Vitro. Middle may be also. Right is WV (West Virginia) swirl - maybe Cairo but...?
-
Slags on left; possible Vitros on right.
-
Various styles of cat's-eyes except maybe for the one down the 2nd column from left. Couple banana cat's (prob. Peltie) on left, top two. Cage style, mayb Vitro in lower left and possibly upper right. 2nd down on right prob. foreign. 3rd column foreign cat's.

Ouch!

They do look foreign. Don't match any Vacor that I can think of.

Leaning to newer MK here.

Does not quite look like surface of a Bennington. Is it that shiny? Maybe some type of glazed pottery marble?

Looks like a Peltier Rainbo.

Dalmation (or Dalmata on Vacor bags) are "older" marbles from early 90's and look like those. A more recent possibility is Cow although that one is a little more speckled.

Yes, I tried a couple more today but it is only in that one thread/topic. I just uploaded pic for the Blended Spiderman thread/topic and it worked fine. I just had not ocme across it before.
-
There are a lot of colorful Vitro hybrid cat's-eyes out there.
-
To me, the term blended is when there are more ribbons than the basic patch-ribbon-ribbon-patch like your pic shows. I could not find a good example of a blended Spiderman but here is a Red/Ruby Bee with blending where you see the additional ribbons "blending".

I tried to add a couple more pictures to the thread on how to display marbles but came up with this odd message when I try to upload pics. What does it mean?I have uploaded probably the same pics in time past but now...? There were 2-3 that I tried - all in the 135 to 250 kb range. Thanks for any help.

How do you display your Marble Collection?
Al Oregon replied to Jose's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Plastic trays are one way for me. Also, the paper boxes with dividers.
-
Agree - good variety.
-
Minor thing - for Peltier, it is Rainbo (without the 'w'). Marble King has Rainbows.
-
Upper left could lean to Master or maybe Foreign. Lower right might be a weak Pelt or Akro patch but...?
