With that point at the center of the cut line and the colors. I would say Master for the two. The swirl I am not sure Raven or Alley ? It looks a little rosey or slight pink ? Probably the light, I see the background color changes.

The original is Akro. This is the reason Akro was credited with producing all the helmets when I started with marbles. Of course that was proven wrong. Vitro was the regular produced of helmet marbles.

All Alley, except the last one is probably CAC.

Some odd things found at Heaton.

My favorite Heaton,. The Razzel Dazzel ! Close second- Heaton oxblood, found right next to one of the Razzel Dazzel's. So many to pick from ! Wood case made by Cheese, for me from wood found at Heaton .

MK has that same hybrid color combo. Most of them are usually smaller than 5/8, most are 9/16 inch. What size is it ?

I agree, Akro and MK.

I think there a lot of Cerise that end up with Akro's. The Cerise were also hand gathered. After talking many times with Gino B. about Cerise, and seeing them in box sets. There is a wider range of red to orange and light to dark that most people think. Those narrow fine lines and some feathering remind me of Pelt feathered slags. Akro or Peltier ?????????

I have used a Sony T200 for many years. I have owned three other name brand cameras that never come close to these. The Sony T200 has macro and super macro. You can get to within 1/4 inch of the marble. It has Zeiss lens. It is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and half as thick. You can use about any light and it works. They have a touch screen viewer back. They are no longer made. I like them so well I have four of them. You can still find them listed on ebay. The batteries are cheap. A battery, charger, are maybe $10.00. Most come will everything. Once you get your settings where you want. Then just point and shoot for years. I just use overhead strip led light bulbs. Some dark marbles, I use my small hand held flashlight. I have one that I dropped in three feet of Ohio river muddy water and sand. I let it dry for a few days. Put the battery back in, put in the sd card. opened the front cover, with the sand grinding. It powered up and worked. Still works today 4 years later. I dropped one on the concrete floor at Jabo 3-4 times. Dented but it still works fine. You can buy them on ebay from $20.00- $100.00 depending on usage and what all comes with it. I have at least 6-10 marble friends who all have went to this camera. The newer or later Sony t500-800-900 etc. do not have the super macro. Most marble pictures are no the camera but what makes a big difference is the lighting and the user. How well they know their camera. Many people now use their smart phone. Which I do not have. It would not do me much good as there is no cell service within 10 miles of me. Any pictures I have posted for 15 years were taken with a Sony T200.

Probably Jabo CAC . I could see why you thought Alley. These yellow base with red/orange can be difficult. But the big majority are Alley from the Sistersville site. The pattern on this ones says CAC to me, plus the orange color with no bleed at all. Vitro You sure have come a long way with your identifying marbles. Your effort is paying off.

I agree the first one is probably Vitro. The second one is foreign to the US. Probably from Imperial or Asian made. The hole is from an air or gas bubble that opened up or popped. Common with marbles of poorly cooked or seedy glass.

The pictures look like art work. They are great, but not the best for identification. To much black and bright light for lots of identifications. I like well back lit marbles pics but also need to see without back light to help id's.

I guess a Vitro anti whitie would be a black base ?

I agree. The # 2 is probably Akro.

I agree with Asian.

It has a Roll mark on a pole, which is common. Your marble is a common machine made. Machine made marbles do not have pontils of any kind. It may be the lighting but I don't see anything close to CAC peach color. Your marble looks more amber or light orange to me. Compare your pictures with Chad G. CAC peach pictures above. Any 3/4 CAC is not easy to find. We all want more of our marbles to be the better CAC's. But 99% of time they are not.

I have seen it in hand. That obvious straight cut line in the top center picture looks so much like CAC. But most of the rest looks Ravenswood. But a few marbles from all these WV swirl companies do show a nice cut line. With most of them the cut line folds inside or twisted in the swirl so that it is not noticed or found easy. I think it is probably Ravenswood or Alley. The colors lean me just a little more to Alley. If it was more good white, less amount of blue, I would lean more Ravenswood.

I don't see any CAC Blue Lace. They are nice very transparent peach or flesh color base with light blue swirls or ribbons. I have seen more swirls than ribbons for Blue Lace. But some are straight ribbons. Not sure all six are CAC. Some of the spacing at the cut lines are wide or far apart for CAC. More like German striped transparent or German slags. If you notice Chad G. pictures of CAC the ribbons from each half come closer together at the cut line. Most all the German ones have a wider space at the cut line. Where the white ends, more base shows at the cut line.

Clear marble, no collector value. Probably every company old and newer made clear marbles. Some have odd things and some are just pure clear.

I agree Jabo classic.

I am still undecided between Akro or MK ? I have seen and may have some MK like this orange and the ribbons more to one side. But most of those also had just a little green(curved patch)on the opposite side from the ribbons. Scratching my head for translucent orange base and opaque orange ribbons with Akro ? It could be a original clear base and just a very big amount of orange bleeding ? That cut line and other places look more clear then yellow more than orange.

Better look for another Vitro lamp while you are there.

The one just above, looks Vitro to me. How many Pelts or Kokomo has three(maybe four) different color ribbons side by side touching each other on half the marble and one white filament or stringy ribbon on the opposite half or other side ? Lots of companies made opaque and translucent gray base marbles. The Pelt Angels that I had, all three color combos were yellow/brown translucent base. Most look about as much yellow as brown. I have never seen a gray base Angel. I call a off yellow to brown a muddy base. I never thought of gray as muddy. Most dirt in the east is yellow, brown or red, lots of yellow and red clay. I know well the midwest has black dirt. Maybe muddy there is gray ?

Not the Vitro Tomato. This one is to orange, more orange than red. Plus the tomato's have a twisted pattern. This one above has straight ribbons.
