Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thank you everyone for your time and responses. I really do appreciate the teaching moments everyone shares. Your efforts arent wasted I absorb everything. To me the second marble has CAC features. Both of these were members of the “gaming marbles” abyss Ive accumulated during my marble hunts. Im going to start thumbing thru more of these maybe I’ll find a few overlooked jewels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Part of me wants to say CAC, part wants to say Pelt. I am usually wrong though. Thanks Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Is that 2 different marbles? I just re-read the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Nearly all companies made gaming marbles @ one time or another, from what I gather Bruce also pics of 2 different mibs ?? here's a gamer I held onto from Alley's early beginnings. I call an Alley monochrome ( Def. two different shades of the same color ) I would like to make a guess on yours but need pics of both seems on either side of one mib to get a good idea, many I've found I couldn't I.D. no traits distinctive of the maker, master gaming marbles are probably the easiest for me to pick out, Yes I've gone through thousand's of them also, very enjoyable but extremely hard on the back. Found some goodies though !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thats a nice Alley Ive found several mfg’s solids for every 50 or so Gone through theres 1 that appeals to my eye. I love ones busy with two shades of the same color. maybe these pics will give you a better idea of the maker. TheJagged cut lines have me thinking this one is a CAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 This is the second marble. Akro maybe?

Steph Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 This could be Marble King. Could be Vitro. Could be some other company which usually does patches (which could include Akro but that's low on my list) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 If vintage, then I'd go with some West Virginia swirl manufacturer on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 I was going to say M.K. on the one w/ the straight seam also but so hard to tell on these gamers, are they old ? new ? I would prefer to look through the older one's, I believe these to be newer just going on the fact I'm having difficulty in I.D. ing them. Went through thousand's of them and generally can tell, not so w/ these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yes they’re old i cant get into newer marbles nostalgia is important to me. Some newer marbles are made to resemble old ones which bothers me. I mean, why do that? I like creative products (marbles) given to life thru motivation and pride. Rarely does that formula lead to look’a like results. But anything’s possible. thanks y’all for the comments theres a lot here to chew on. MK does seem viable for the one not sure on the crispness of their seems I’ll need to look into that. Plus theres a road and tunnel, so far ive not seen that on a MK seems it’d be rare since they did so much laminate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
