  1. No that is more likely a brown. Brown and earth tones was major production colors for Master. Especially with green.
  2. Alley. Good numbers can be found.
  3. Left definite Akro patch. Center is Akro or maybe Marble King ? Would need other pictures these are a little washed out or overexposed. Far right ???
  4. I do not see a Akro cork. Looks like a swirl, good chance of Jabo. With a cork the striping color starts at one pole and twist around to the opposite pole and never crosses. This color striping on this marble does not start on one pole and end on the opposite pole. A swirl is just a random twist around a marble or in andout. It can switch back, cross itself, etc. Some swirls do corkscrew, some just as nice as Akro but they are limited mistakes not done on purpose routinely one after another. Akro is the only company that had the spinner cup equipment to twist the pattern into the nice corkscrew every time unless something malfunctioned . Akro had a few lazy corks when some problem occurred. Lots of swirls might be considered lazy corks but they are just swirls. A random swirl pattern, usually not repeated exactly. The corkscrew pattern was repeated constant as standard production. Lemonade = Lemon = Yellow color and has to glow. Has to have the ade base. Limeade = Lime = Green color and has to glow. Has to have the ade base. If you want your marble to be a lazy Akro corkscrew ? Then put it with your corks. If selling, not many if any collector would buy the marble above as a Lazy Akro Corkscrew. If you know what your marble is, why post it for identification ???? It for sure is NO Akro Lemonade. A Akro Lemonade has the ade base which is similar to a mossy base or foggy translucent base. The Lemonade base has to glow. Akro Lemonade has yellow (lemon) color on a ade base that glows. Same base for Limeade except they are green(lime) instead of yellow. There is no doubts once you have or see in hand a Lemonade or Limeade and put a backlight on them.

    He told you the truth.
  6. One Asian Cat Eye. All the rest are Jabo.
  7. Ruby Bee needs yellow. This marble was made with orange on a white base. Where it looks slightly like a shade of yellow is the orange thin over the white. Not a blended Ruby Bee.
  8. To many for one picture. Top row= Peltier Banana Cat Eye, Maybe Jabo, Foreign Cat Eye, Vitro Cage Cat Eye. 2nd row= Banana Cat Eye Pelt or Foreign, Jabo,Cat Eye ?,Maybe Vitro Cage Cat Eye. 3rd row= Cat Eye ?, Jabo, Same as one above. 4th row= Vitro Cage Cat Eye, Jabo. Value for whole group $2.00-$3.00 at the best.
  9. 2nd & 3rd pictures. Left either Vitro or Marble King ? Middle maybe Vitro ? Far right Cairo Novelty.
  10. Correct. Top three left Peltier feathered Slags. Three more slags, cannot be sure on makers by these pictures. Right three. Top weak Tri Lite, not Superior no yellow, just thinned and burnt red. Middle with blue patch Vitro Bullseye. Bottom right weak Tri Lite.

    Left Jabo #2 ?? #3 Looks like it may be a cork. #4 is 2003 Jabo
  12. #1 Cairo or Alley with the S pattern. Later St.Marys location Alleys can also have same C or S patterns as Cairo. With these colors and well defined edges, I would put it with Alley #2 Ravenswood. More dull or faded red and blue. #3 Champion. Copy of Alley. These can have a more red swirl or bright orange swirl. But the pattern does not vary a whole lot. #4 Alley with those wavy tips. #5 Alley. Looks like the blue was running out. #6 Alley. Typical hooks and curves going to a point. You did very well.
  13. Akro patches. But not Popeye. A Popeye needs two or more colors other than white. These only have one color plus white. Numbers of colors can be important. But many times it is difficult to know if it is another true color. Or laying on top or under another color making it look like a different color. Especially when colors thin and spread.
  14. I believe so, Akro. Cut line look Akro. There are Popeyes with these colors. Popeye hybrid(3 color)patches are rare.
  15. #1 Vitro #2 probably Akro. Every original Popeye box bag set contained one single Akro pee wee marble. Usually in the compartment with the bag. Most of these if not all were pee wee patch marbles. #3 I am about 55% Vitro and 45% Akro. Due to the base glass.
