I agree with Steph. Of course I also learned most about Kokomo from Chuck B. He sure is missed, every month. He had the most in depth Kokomo collection I have seen. Might be better ones but if so they must be in Kokomo. Chuck had the mesh bags the box sets, thousands dug from right at the site.

I made a recent long post with several pages with pictures and values of old Marble Kings, in General Marble and Glass chat here. These are the high dollar ones. Pictures of all the old Marble Kings would be hundreds with one picture of each marble.

Single color corks about $2.00 each if mint. Very few of these look mint. But a good cleaning job might help some of them.

Look like maybe a WV swirl ? But I cannot say for sure with these pictures.

Close call. The cuts look like Master but so do some Akros. With the odds I would say 60% chance Akro and 40% of chance Master. Both made the single color patches and moss base.

I agree with German or European.

Also help if all the marble was in the picture. Many of them have half the side cut off.

Mike Mead or myself are about the only ones who sold this particular size foam. Both of us has about stopped selling it. We had yellow and a couple shades of gray. The dimples are smaller and shorter which helps made the marbles stand out more. Plus more numbers per inch, almost double than normal gun case foam.

Companies history and time lines. American Machine Made Marbles book by Mike Johnson, Dean Six and Susie Metzler.

Probably 99% of the Coke bottle hanger bags are fake and fantasy bags. Filled with modern cheap usually foreign marbles. Some of the later ones will be filled with Marble Kings and or Jabos.

Akro Popeye= Has to have a clear base, strings, striations of white, and two or more other colors. Can be a corkscrew or patch. Popeye Hybrid has more than two colors other than the white. The original has a white base.

Rooster. For sure not CAC.

Jabo

Cairo Novelty

I agree all later Champions.

All later newer Marble Kings.

A fuzzy Jabo. The camera is focused on the nut.

I don't know what the true colors are ? The pictures are so large, hard on my eyes to look at them.

CARE O

Foreign to the US. Imperial, Asian.

Alley. We dug them at Pennsboro. But every single one of them had problems.

I think the top marble black.yellow, orange is Jabo classic about 2004-2006.

Solid black ? What is the proper name for a solid black marble ? Will for sure get different responses or answers. We need to know the true question in order to be of help.

No problem with spelling. We all knew what you intended. Now how do local people pronounce it ?

The big four is probably four machine made marble companies, Akro-Peltier-CAC-Vitro ?? The original group if 1/2 inch or less in size ? I think he was saying that probably the only marble in the group that would be much interest to collectors or with much value would be the far left maybe a Peltier. Any marble can be collectable to someone someplace for many different reasons. But collectable has a wide range of value from zero to some and more for others. There can be a big difference in wanting to know what a marble is or who made it or when it was made. The other side is what is it worth. The value side has lots of variables. Depending on if it is purchased for a aquarium, a flower pot, crafts, for kids play, to learn from or to collect seriously. If people just want a value, they should let that be known and for what purpose. Many times it is asked, what is it called. For nothing but a value or a way to sell it. That is fine but it helps if people know what the true question is ? The original post may be a collector or a seller or both. All are fine, but things are easier if we know what is needed for what ? Most all marbles at 1/2 inch size and smaller are known by marble collectors as pee wee's. To get a accurate marble measurement, a caliper should be used. Not a carpenters square. At 1/64 of one inch over 1/2 inch and it is not a pee wee. There are different companies marbles in the group. Hope this was help and not misleading. Which no one here will try to do.
