Looks like a newer MK - a modern version of the old MK Hercules.
-
In the 70s I could smoke a dime bag of Panama Red in one night and then devour several Hostess Suzy Qs. Talk about dreamy and creamy! Both of these fine products I believe are long discontinued. Nowadays it's medical grade CBD and an organic mico greens salad. Staying happy in a healthier way!

The OP is a MK beauty! The Peltier labeled marble posted just above by treetiger appears to be a Peltier Sunrise (as opposed to Sunset) - the various bagged marbles are modern "Fantasy" advertising bags.
-
Such a variety of great marbles in this running thread! The Jabo peewees are sure a favorite of mine - so much color and pattern packed into such a small marble. Here's some of my favorites that were gifted to me - thank you!

Got to be a pelt! Any input would be greatly appreciated

Nice Pelt for sure. There are some red Peltier Onyx slags that are a very particular type. These rarer types do not appear to have a completely transparent red base, and have heavy areas where light will not show through. Many times these exhibit brownish, tan or mahogany tones along with deep dense red. they have very heavy internal swirling that fills up most or all of the base glass. I've only found them in 9/16". Your photos possibly hint of this type. -
Imagine what the price would be if entirely there?

Agree with Alan - nothing overly special for a Master. Here's a similarly colored one of mine that has the addition of blue. -
Semi transparent swirl that looks like a slag ???

Vitro Blue Devil IMHO. Colors and size are right. HTF -nice! -
Peltiers for certain - closest to what some collectors know as the Pelt Sunrise - with a thin splash of white. Sort of a hybrid of Sunset and Sunrise I guess, but I have never seen AV in either of these.
-
Looks like it could possibly be a hand gathered CAC American Agate to me, with that type of glass/pattern/colors.
-
In the above group shot from the proposed trade selections the one in the bottom right corner looks like it might be a Golden Rebel?? If it is, and in nice condition I would heavily consider that trade.
-
Interesting find for sure! Hard to see much detail, but that black opal could be a real winner. I would want a certified gemologist to take a look at everything for certification and valuation. The light green square 'cushion cut' example is not a Peridot (wrong shade of green) but looking at the weak color saturation and minimal faceting I would guess possibly Hiddenite (very soft - difficult to facet). Just speculation but the watery green shade looks right. Could also be Fluorite but the clarity seems high for that.

The 2nd (red orange w/ dark tracers bubbly mossy base) is an earlier type Akro Imperial.

I remember seeing this episode well before I started collecting marbles. At that time I would have never picked up on the fact that they were using what looks like 1930s -40s Alleys when this episode was set in the 1870s. Being poor rural farmers children they would have never been using glass marbles of any kind - but rather clay 'commies'. I loved this show, and being an 'old soul' I would fantasize about how cool it would be to live like the Ingalls family. Simple, honest living and pretty happy with what they had. Thanks for sharing!

Agree w/ Cheese - 100% CAC glass and colors. This one did get a little 'corky' looking in some views.
-
Looks like a MCR (multi-colored Rainbo) to me, not an MCS which are earlier NLR period.
-
Glass, colors and pattern are more typical of MK to my eyes.
-
Asian Imperial type. Surface copper picked up from repaired roller?
-
I would not rule out Cerise - the pattern looks a bit more Pelty than it does Akro. Tough to prove. From an original box of Peltiers (Ron Shepard):
-
I agree, with the darker purple harder to find as well. Nice!

I have no use for any organized worship or religion personally. No disrespect to those that feel the need to worship 'something'. Spirituality is not connected to a thing, place, label, person, story, symbol or any religious deity to me. It comes from within yourself. Living your life with kindness and respect to all that is our world is what real spirituality is to me. If you look at history (even though today) organized religions have been the crux of much hate, war, greed and destruction. John Lennon was right IMHO....."imagine no religion"......... !

Just to elaborate a bit; CAC sure did make batch glass, as did all of the major early USA marble makers. CAC was located just across the alley from the famed glasshouse 'Cambridge Glass Co.' from whom they acquired numerous colors of scrap cullet for marble making. This cullet made for some unique glass colorations only found in Christensen Agate Co. marbles. The National Museum of Cambridge Glass has on display a fine assortment of CAC marbles along with a brief story of this glass connection between the two glass-works so long ago. A photo of the CAC marble display at the National Cambridge Glass Museum:

I wish for one of those mysterious Lightning Strike marbles.
-
I agree with Jabo. The low glass quality/weak color saturation.
-
I believe you have a Vitro Conqueror there - looks veneered. Common Vitro colors with a bit more white surface coverage than usual.
-
Top is a killer larger size Vitro buttermilk (size?) - bottom is a Pelt NLR Burnt Red Zebra - might have AV since some do but I can't see the fine details.
