Two Blue Skies and a Stormy Sky.

This is a nice hand-gathered slag. Striped transparent marbles have two seams and colors (not white) on the surface.

It helps to see anywhere the glass changes from one type to another (transparent vs opaque, red vs white, etc.) - that is where the seams will be too (top and bottom of the marble in pic 1).

It's really important to show us the seams if the marble has them.

It could be a lot of things but that big flat spot means it's not a marble.

These are marbles made at JABO in 2010 using cullet from KOG Co. You can still purchase bags of them from KOG.

The second is a pretty marble. I do not believe it is American. My bet would be an early Vacor from Mexico, perhaps El Aguila. The first is essentially a single color game marble, they were packaged with games like Chinese Checkers. It is often very difficult to tell who made a particular game marble, which doesn't matter much, since they are not really collectible. The small transparent "Clearie" in your other post would also fall into this category.

@Parmcat It seems you came into a group of these. They are pretty colors, although they are not transitional marbles (hand-gathered and machine rounded), they are wholly machine made - a bit later than the transitional marbles Seike made.

The first is a decorated porcelain (China) from Germany and the second is a Bennington, also from Germany. Both were likely made well before your Grandfather served in Germany, although neither are hard to find.

The yellow is nice, Art, but that wouldn't change my ID - I still think it's from Seike and similar to this one Aiko posted. Sorta figure 8-ish, I think.

Two Vitro Trilites - good marbles.

I think it's Japanese, perhaps Seike.

Nice Vitro!

It looks like a Vitro Reverse Blackie to me.

It's a decent Aquamarine, Tommy. The red/brown color on them varies a lot and some of them do have oxblood. But I agree with Chad on this one - I'm not seeing it. I am convinced that Vitro never intentionally made oxblood so any that do have it are fortuitous and very uncommon.

@Parmcat There is no way that I could be convinced your marble is Vitro. But that's just me, and all it really means is that I would not buy it as a Vitro nor would I put it in my Vitro collection if it fell into my lap. Some other folks feel differently, which is okay. We are all in charge of our own collections. 🙂

That is a beautiful display - overcrowded or not! It looks like you have some very large handmade marbles. How big is the largest one?

Nice marble, all I can tell you is it's new. 🙂

It might be one of the JABO contract runs - it's new, either way.

I do not believe the OP is a Vitro. It looks new to me - JABO, DAS or SMM, IMO.

It looks like a Bullseye to me - just a little different.

I am sad to report that longtime marble collector Danny Grocki passed away Thursday. I extend my heartfelt condolences to all who loved him. He was a legend in the marble collecting community and he will surely be missed. https://www.southbendtribune.com/obituaries/psbn1257479

It's a Master - basically a Tiger Eye with green instead of purple.

Cane-cut Slag - not mint but 1" and a pretty nice pattern.

Finally, WV Wednesday!
