Imagine taking two colored balls of clay and mushing them together into one larger ball. You should be able to see the interface between the two glass globs on a marble like you would see in the two-color clay orb. Many times there will also be a slight create at the interface
-
I think it's a nice Multicolor Rainbo.
-
Sorta like a Fruit Cocktail but . . . ?
-
The first marble you posted is a slightly odd Type III Tiger Eye (check for AV in the green, I've seen it on these types), and the second is a nice TriLite. In the next group, the blue/orange single might be Akro. Those in the big group look mostly like Vitro Helmets. At least to me. 🙂

I agree with, Art, it's a pretty Alley but not a SSC.
-
Good eye, Charlie - its an Akro.

Okay, now its serious. Looks like fun to me! -
@Tommy If yours had more brown on it I would be more comfortable calling it a Strawberry Shortcake. But its a great Alley - maybe more related to the corals. Can you imagine changing that white base to transparent green? Wow.
-
@VaMarbles It can be a challenge but its important to make sure the photos accurately represent the marble in hand, especially for ID purposes - you can see its the same marble, its just just remarkable how different it looks in the two different settings. I think you'll have to decide if it might be (photos 2) or if its not (photos 1 & 3) a SSC. 😃
-
Does light pass through the base of the left one? If so, what color is it?
-
I am with Fire - it looks like a JABO Classic to me too.
-
What a difference a photo makes - this looks way closer!
-
Here's a Sunday Best from brother Bill - his marble, his pics. He loved a good Pelt . . .
-
Haaha, I think the first marble you posted is an Akro Corkscrew and the 2nd is a Heaton (maybe JABO) and the 3rd maybe Champion (maybe JABO).
-
It's a little odd but it's an older (patch and ribbon) type.
-
@Tommy I think it's a nice Alley but not a typical Strawberry Shortcake. @VaMarbles I don't think yours is a Strawberry Shortcake either. What size is it? Here are a few @cheese posted some time ago.

Oh that's fun! It's either a produce sack or a 1,000 count marble bag. 🙂 Be sure to show us what's inside! -
A mib is a player sized marble or just a marble, more generally. 🙂
-
Santa Clauses are 6-ribbons on clear (2 white, 1 red flipped on each side). The OP is Pelt or Vitro, IMO, sort if hard to tell from these pics - seems like the front of the marble is shaded.
-
That's a very nice example - I like the unusual ones.
-
I'll have to get you a few more pics of that one, Art - it's all Akro.
-
I've seen AV in the black on these so I'd be sure to check for it.
-
@davesnothere Cool marbles - very distinctive. I've always liked to collect different sizes of the "same" marble too. Nice set!
-
A few patches just for fun . . .
