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

Thanks

Yes x2-- Marble--On!!

Hmmmm, maybe a WVS - Alley?

I just did a quick little research on El Aguila…. I didn’t know that they were pre-Vacor Marbles……According to the look on some of their “headers” on bagged Marbles, there seem to be some samples that match mine…… Thanks for the tip

Someone selling their whole stash on eBay. All shooters just about and uv G/Y Popeyes

I think you’re right. Killer Keeper for sure🔥 RAR

It appears to be a normal latticino core that went through World War II. In that condition it hard to understand why anyone would want it for any reason (at any cost).

It does look like there might be something sparkly in there Joe, but you know how hard it can be to tell for sure from pics. I think a lot of times what sparkles is just some excess colorant that precipitates out of the glass mixture - just some sort of chemistry happening.

I agree, you're building quite an MK collection.

Here's my 9, BB!

Oxblood shooters are sweet. There's a lot more deep pockets in this hobby these days so I imagine it will go way beyond show prices.

Time out! How did Veigglas slip in here on this one. What did I miss. I thought the base glass was always transparent 🔥 RAR

Nice mib 👍🏼

Spend a lot of time in the West Virginia Wednesday topic and look at the "Mostly Pics" threads in Steph's Study Hall. It takes considerable experience to gain proficiency and there really aren't any good substitutes or shortcuts - study, study, study, my friend.

Easily confused, however I would keep this with Ravenswood, leaving open the possibility of older Champion too.

X 2

Back light it and see all the hits it's cool

Champion New Old Fashioned, IMO.

On second thought, I probably shouldn't have called it a hybrid.

It sort of gives me MK vibes, but whatever it is, I don't think it looks like it was supposed to.

Yes, It's a Rainbo.

Crude, rude and kinda cruddy! I think it’s a really cool slag with the flip back Ric just mentioned 🔥 RAR

I would say yes to that🔥 RAR

I'm leaning MFC slag. Kinda cool the way the end of the stream flipped back on itself in the second to the last pic.

I am thinking Kokomo too, especially if the base shows any kind of opalescence.

I think JABO too.

With the lipstick red and the seedy base glass i would feel confident on calling this a Kokomo. Great marble

Bill's got it - Ravenswood.

🤪 So here’s where I went with this one. Veneered ribbon and then I got stupid. This is where I was coming from. I thought this one it was PPP but the ID here is it’s a Vitro.🔥 RAR

That's what I am thinking - Vacor Sunset.

This is a real oddball, IMO. If you look at the last photo it appears that the whole area may have been "black" at one point and the bull's eye was made by removing the surface paint/surface in a ring. My guess it is very soft. And if you look at some areas it appears very light maybe even white underneath - like the vast majority of the marble's surface has a dirty patina. I forget what they call that very soft almost chalky white stuff they used to make marbles out of (@Alan ?) but that's what this reminds me of. Does it seem light for it's size? As for the decorations, my best guess is that it may have been a painted clay marble at some point and wear has produced what appears to be a more elaborate form of decoration. It's also possible some kid decorated it themself at some point. It certainly wouldn't be the first time I have seen homemade decorations on a marble. Whatever it is, I am guessing it doesn't look anything like it did the day it was made.
