Just for comparison, here is a picture of the Akro game marbles that are No. 2 size (3/4) in the Chinese Checkers Box. Definitely not your colors. Yours look to be the correct pastel hue. I'll also post one picture of Pete's/Galen's CA pastels box so you have that comparison.

In 1998 when I first started, I found a lot of CAC Bloodies but found out they were some of the Jabo Classics.

Good information - thanks for sharing that.

If anyone collects bags (and some boxes), I'm back to selling some duplicates on eBay (after 10 years of not selling). My eBay ID - arasmus Thanks.

If I were sorting slags or striped transparents/opaques (or any similar type of marbles that could be by 2-3 (or more) different makers, I would be doing the one-seam, two-seam idea of yours. As Steph mentioned, others are usually sorted out by company and style - Pelts, Akro corks and other obvious styles. Patches, to me, is a whole other ballgame in ID'ing. I've given up on those but, after studying the various tips, etc. on the marble boards, you should be able to sort those by specific patterns.

I'll stray to the "bag" side of the aisle with these "E" companies advertising bags.

CAC or Superman Alley or Superman Peltier???

Looks like they are.

Since someone posted Coca Cola logo types, ehre is a bag that I have. I wrote to the plant in Piqua, OH some years back to see if anyone remembered these -no response.

That is sad to hear.

Steph - I think it is the large botched ones that I don't view as Galaxies. Here's a pic from David Chamberlain's box (from Vacor) plus a couple other bag pics from Qualatex and early Mega. None seem to have the large blotch types.

Not sure about Galaxies but it does look like older Vacors (80's to early 90's) - here's pic someone posted years ago. Is yours opaque?

Thanks for the info. I don't plan on collecting more of those. By the way, if you did not know this, Jabo used to produce licensed logo marbles in packages (samples below) but they could not sell the volume required under the licenses so stopped after a while. I think they are pretty collectible.

Definitely Vitro hybrid cat's-eye - nice one.

That was Mr. Carl Fisher's first attempt at the clay marble making....LOL!

Back in 2004 I picked up a couple packages (since I collect marble packaging) but did not pursue any more. Here's pics of front on two and back of one (shows others they had packaged).

Moonsnake is a better name. Steph, I'm not sure ifthese fit into the moss agate category but they may. Here's a couple pics. They all have that "moonie glass" base.

The corks in translucent base glass, I have sometimes called them Moonie Corkscrews (it's the name game,,,)

Yea, I won the guessing contest!! I agree with all the comments above, however. Someone paid too much but...?

I like Steph's definition for a snake but even the use of auger is somewhat messed up by some. I think of auger as a drill bit and, to me, ideally the ribbons should not reach the edge of the marble. However many do and I can see that. But then, you look down the middle of the drill bit, from top to bottom, and you should not see a "hole" in the middle. But, again, some have a small hole and are still called augers. Here's an example of an auger, pictures by marblealan that is a lazy one so....?

Great video - glad you persisted and got it for us to see. Cathy Runyan-Svacina is a great lady and her collection used to be in the Museum in Kansas City, as you see in the video. Looks like in a few months, it will be in the great Northwest where collectors out this way will be able to view it.

Same here

I finally came across the Heaton bag that I had posted a couple pics of on June 19. These cat's-eyes are very unusual for Heaton. The bag looks totally legit so I don't see some kind of "filled" bag. Here are two more pictures.
