1 - looks older, like an Elite/tri-lite
2 - phantom conqueror
3 - all red
4 - can't tell - another phantom conqueror type?

pics are great, but sometimes it's harder to tell what a marble is if the pic is gigantic. at least it is for me...

Agree with what Chris just said..........especially the part about larger pics making it harder to ID. The easier way for me to ID a marble with 2 seams/cutlines is with the 4 "traditional views". The 2 seams viewed straight on (either vertically or horizontally) and the opposing "poles". Of course, more than these views can help too.

Here's an example of what I mean.

The only other thing that I can add is that the first could be either an Akro or a Vitro. I have a number from the digs with those colors and a "V" pattern.

I agree the pictures are way to big. I'm trying to get the hang of photobucket. I will be listing these and other marble later tonight and you will have better pictures to go by. Thanks again for your time.

Don't ever do it for me. Do it for your integrity and your customers.

Yeah, it just doesn't do a decent 5/8" marble justice to blow it up to 2"+. All perspective is actually lost. Of course this is said by one whose prejudices lie favorably when it comes to 5/8" marbles. They are the standard to go by in machine-made marbles regardless of all these beautiful 3/4" marbles at Jabo in the past year and a half. 5/8" marbles are where it's at! David
