Nice one.

I would say no on the transparent swirls (as Steph says - hard to tell). Lower left looks Alley. Upper right - ? - another view?

The old sailing ships used marbles as ballast or for moving items in the holds. Maybe you can dive an old shipwreck down there. Of course, those would not be cat's-eyes but....

There are a lot of colorful foreign cat's-eyes.

Whoa! Nice one.

I'll be checking in on Thursday. Looking forward to it.

By the way, I guessed before I began to look for pictures. Here is a Salco Box but different type. Posted by Alan back in 2007.

Dyed clays

Agree with Steph on her observations. I'd say 13 is Akro.

3 looks Jabo. 1 also could be. 2 looks foreign. 5 is Vitro. 6 is probably Vitro Whitie. 4 is one made by most companies - looks like it may have been in water for a log time or something to give it that "frosted" look.

Yes, nice ones.

Gutta Percha?

Nice groups.

Almost all of those are slag marbles - far right on 4th rown down is only ?

Yes, nice one.

My avatar is a coincidental OR (for Oregon)

As far as when CHampion quit making marbles, I got this bag from Mike Johnson (one of the authors of the marble book you are buying) and this wass from 2005 - no fancy marbles - just basic clearie types.

As mentioned, the Popular American marbles book has a good variety of the more common marbles also which other books don't necessarily covers. American Machine Made is best book for history on the companies, types of marbles made, packaging and other great information. Not a lot of marble pictures for iD's. Overlaoding you, here is a list I compiled some years back.

#1 and #2 are slags. #2 most likely Akro. #3 looks Vitro but not positive.

Might very well be Champion. The WV (West Virginia) swirls types, including Champion, re sometimes quite hard to ID, except by experience of seeing a bunch (not easy to describe why).

I thought of that but I don't quite see the white fully surrounding the colored "v" or pattern like on this example from Craig (spara).

They look Vitro to me.

Not quite sure what you are looking for Ric. Here's a couple of pics I have saved - one of Patry's from 2005 and someone's jobber box.

All neat ones.

I assume three marbles. Neon is middle is obviously different but not sure if that is what you are leaning towards...?
