  1. @disco005 Might be something akin to the chemistry that produces Peltier's Bronze Zebras
  2. @disco005 No brown on these, but the AV is plenty thick.
  3. I think there probably is some fortuitous brown in the mix since I have seen plenty of patches loaded with thick green AV that shows no brown. The brown is very cool - makes it look sorta "lutzy". There might be some sort of a chemistry happening that makes it brownish.
  4. Sweet marble, Jess. I'm leaning Akro, and I'm kind of surprised you're not. The cut-offs look way more Akro than Master to me and i know they made some AV-loaded patches too. 🙂
  5. Hello Kesia, welcome to The Marble Connection! Marbles 1, 4 & 10 (solid colored) are referred to as game marbles since they are often used in games like Chinese Checkers. The second marble might be the most interesting but it is difficult to tell what it is from this single view. The third marble appears to be an Asian Cat's Eye. The 5th and 9th are commonly referred to as West Virginia Swirls (WVSs) - they look like Alley Agates at first glance but, again, it is difficult to tell from a single view. The three patch type marbles (6-8) look mostly like Vitros to me, although 7-8 might be newer Marble Kings. They all appear to be common vintage marbles, perhaps with the exception of #2, which might be more interesting. Proper ID often requires closer photos that show multiple views of the marble.
  6. Wow, really? I don't think I've ever seen a Champion that's even close. Do you have any photos you could share?
  7. Thank you for sharing this, Aiko. I have great admiration for people with creative and artistic talent, and it is obvious to me that you have both. I especially like the ocean themed pieces and the kimono beads, but my favorites are the sewing pins - they are so simple and yet so beautiful! The little envelopes are also very sweet. My wife would be overjoyed to receive those as a gift!
  8. Wow, $375+ seems pretty high for one of these. I don't see any oxblood and apparently the seller didn't either.

    5/8 WVS

    There is not much to go on with this marble. The cut-lines in the 3rd photo are pretty neat though. I am thinking mostly about Jackson but that means almost nothing, since I think this could have easily been made by a number of different companies.
  10. This is interesting to me, Aiko. What sort of things did your lampwork produce?
  11. That's a good marble, and given the colors and the base glass, I agree with the Citrus Liberty ID too. And AFAIK, that is a recognized name for these types.
  12. It's looking like a foreign sparkler to me.

    9/16 WVS

    Alley is a possibility but I'm leaning toward Heaton.
  14. Wow, I agree - those are beautiful marbles - the colors are really nice!
