These marbles originated together. 

 

We can never be sure of that but I am glad to see that you backed off on the box description.
These did show up together in some rare and desirable “Popeye Boxes”, Probably at 5/8” or maybe –just maybe--@11/16”.
The oxblood marbles that Akro made always included non-oxbloods of the same nature—swirls.
Some colors did not mix well with the oxblood theme. 
Nice marbles—very nice!
Marble—On!!

They are good marbles and they all came from the Akro factory, that's for sure. Did you find them together in an Imperial box or something?

They are all rare, large Onyx Oxbloods with similar thick blood from a lady that sells mainly clothes, toys, and other antiques. I think she's an estate hunter that stumbled upon them. I think the pelter came with them. It's bigger than a supermam. It looks orange, actually.

The eggyolk is about 11/16 and the other 4 are probably greater. They are not too far off from a 3/4" eggyolk oxblood.

She also had these for $90, I'm sure they all came from the same estate, 5 Onyx Oxbloods, orange pelter and these. This is what a marble hunter is all about but I don't really know how rare or their price range is. 11/16 NM,  yellow 5/8 G-NM.

A little bigger than a superman. 13/16. What do these fetch?

I have Akro supermen from just over 5/8ths up to almost an inch, and have seen Pelt Supers from 9/16ths up to 13/16ths. As for the value of your Cub scout it all depends on condition and what an individual collector will give for it on any certain day.

This is called a Pelt super? It's orange and not a cub-scout I assume? It's NM+

In your photo (below) the marble on the left is an Akro Superman (like the four that Chad showed, above) and the one on the right is a Peltier Cubscout.

Saying your marble is "bigger than a superma(n)" is not helpful, since Supeman marbles come in a variety of sizes, as Chad mentioned.

And while the yellow on your Peltier Cubscout may have a hint of orange it is still yellow in my book.
