Some day, I will try to take individual photos of the marbles in that CODEG box, AIko. Your last comparison of the marble I got from Winnie with the one in the box is part of the reason I still think the boxed marbles are Veiligglas. 🙂

I want to say Vacor "Tidal Wave".

The brown is just some stray glass from the pot. These days - one is best off not believing seller's descriptions. Adding/stacking word descriptors seems to be taking-in buyers now more than ever.

Thanks for sharing that, Chuck. It's a nice collection of cullet - even better with Ron's note.

My first thought is Champion.

I think one of the most plausible reasons that so many patches were found at Sistersville is because the marble jobber Rosenthal was there and they packaged all kinds of different marbles in bags and boxes from that location.

Ravenswood. Sometimes found with blue also alongside the purple. You can see these on Pages 252, 237, 238, 246, 254 and 255 in the Ravenswood section of the West Virginia Swirls book.

Yes, an Alley from St. Mary's.

A few more.

I couldn't decide what to leave behind, so I negotiated a deal for the whole lot. I'm pretty happy with this

I think there is a good chance this is a Vitro Tomato - one of the coolest game marbles out there, IMO.

Has anyone considered Kokomo?……The marble does have somewhat of a “single band” kokomo style trait and is also overloaded with bubbles…..The only Pelt Rainbos Ive seen with thick bubbles like that are Sunsets…(EDIT-and a few PPP’s)……but? Here is a sample of a bubble filed single band Rainbo that I had years ago that at the time stirred up an ID controversy between it being a Pelt Rainbo or a Kokomo… I think it was 3/4” (have to go check my data base) and heres a hefty 15/16” Bubble filled “Twisted Sunset” Rainbo

Bad day on the Zam. Question: Does it pop and glow under UV 🔥 RAR

Thought it was just a cloudy Cleary, but it lit up really cool

Maybe an Imperial. Not a Pelt🔥 RAR

Yup

When we talk about wirepull makers, I think Seike should also be part of the discussion. I know this thread is about Hopf vs. Veiligglas, but to my eyes, some of the marbles shown look like Seike’s work. In the first picture, the box you see is the “16 Bolitas Japonesas” box from Argentina. The second and third pictures show a Codeg box marked "Foreign"—and in both of these cases, I believe Japan would be the most reasonable answer.

very nice

I'm with Fire.

It looks a different for a Vitro All Red but I think that's what it is - maybe just chalk it up to the large size.

Asian - Imperial type.

Agree

I would say Akro.

Here's my 9, BB!

JABO, IMO.

Nice deep purple

Check out the bottom left corner

If I found a fruit jar full of these--I would pay around $40 just because I have never learned my lesson about buying jars full. Marble--On!!

Nice Vitro. Forgot about the bulls eye name lol 💥💥

It's important to understand that the vast majority of marbles in your bag are not Champions. Check this thread for more info . . .

This is one of those that you may never know the ID of for sure. To wit, if it was mine I'd have it with my Heatons.

Second pic down. Blue and yellowish one is a killer PPP that should glow. Next pic is an Imperial 🔥 RAR

Master made this style ....ohhhhh noooo .

Might be a Peltier Red Zebra, if that's still a thing.

Another Champ NOF, IMO.

Wow ! Another Keeper. Looks like half of the base glass is red. Is it ? I can't quite tell.🔥 RAR

I agree.

Nice vintage marbles as far as I can tell. The prices marked are very high, IMO.

Asian imho Not M.K

Ah man, Now I have to pull out my jars of solids and inspect....lol

Boo Yah ! Nice one for sure 🔥 RAR

Alley St Mary's i believe

The Peltier or Kokomo debate has gone on for years and years, especially for a few particular types of marbles - the OP marble included. There are some marbles that can be definitively assigned to Kokomo and others that can be definitively assigned to Peltier. And there are likely some examples that were made by each company and you would struggle tell them apart, even in hand. There are still other examples that cannot be definitively attributed to one company or the other because they have not been found in original packaging or dug at either location. For examples like those, I always go with Peltier, just because they made many, many, times the number of different types, and numbers of marbles in general, than Kokomo ever did in its short history. When in doubt, I think it is wise to play the odds and go with Peltier. And while you may not be right every time, chances are that you will be wrong a lot less often. Having said that, I think Chuck's marble is Kokomo, not because it has lots of big bubbles but because of the base glass, which is the same as that you find on the less bubbly Kokomo Christmas marbles - the red is pretty much the same too. I use the same sort of thinking to call the OP marble Peltier. It has the same hyper-bubbly base glass as other known Peltiers, and I have not seen similar in known Kokomo examples. I live in Indiana, and this is how I approach the subject. Because of that, I have a rather small collection of Kokomo marbles. But I am at least 95% confident that they actually are Kokomos. Just my two cents.

You sure didn't get that Vitro ID from me, Fire. Your marble is a PPP as far as I am concerned. That's the same weird sorta base glass as the other PPP glower you've posted. I posted two of them in response to that post.

I lean late Ravenswood.

Most, if not all, are Alley, IMO.

This is what I was referring too when using the term Coreless. 2”.
