The first photo has a few Vitros and a HG slag, as Art said, but it's hard to be sure about many of them from a single view. The second are simply black game marbles - almost every company made them and it's often difficult to tell one from another. They have minimal value to collectors.

That's a wild one. I have seen one before somewhere but I just don't remember where/what. Reminds me a bit of a striped transparent.

I'm not really getting Pelt or Vitro vibes - I wonder about MK.

It might be an Alley - monetary value is probably minimal.

I think the first is likely a hand-gathered Japanese marble - the second may be Akro.

I Agree with the others on #2 & #3 and I think #1 is a Master.

It's a Vitro, a bit of UV-reactive glass is not so uncommon in Conqueror types.

I don't think it's a Peltier. It looks like an Alley Agate to me.

I've seen the broom holders and similar sorts of towel holders but I have never seen one that uses a China marble.

I'm with the MK crowd - Pelt Honey Bees have a transparent amber base - the "honey".

Happy Birthday, Chad!

@Melissa That's a nice example!

It's always nice to have different colors - they are pretty ones!

No, it did not come with marbles, if I remember correctly. I can put one or two marbles in the chamber of mine and an equal number will be ejected from a stack of playing marbles in the chute - interesting demonstration of basic physics.

I must be the brown/yellow combo and nice lattice that initally saved it. And it was probably the pink on these . . . Kind of a shame they're "underwater marbles". 😄

So here's the story on these recently posted marbles photographed in water . . . Quite a few years ago I went through a few gallons of old German marbles I had accumulated over the years. Many sold, I kept a few and the rest were destined for landscaping. Anyway, there were several that were pretty much beat beyond any monetary value but interested me enough to be spared from my landscaping. I recently found them in bag out in the garage and figured I'd photograph them before they wind up joining their brethren outside. 😄 This one is about 1 1/2"

Nice wee ones!

Yeah, it'd be even crazier if it was intended to be patch. 😄

I'd guess it's from Parkersburg but it might be earlier. Not a Conqeuror variant, IMO.

Colorful one, It gives me an Akro vibe too, like the spinner cup was wobbling and not really spinning or something.

Glass looks newer to me. My guess would be JABO contract, DAS and SMM, probably in that order. I have not seen AV in Ravenswood marbles. My guess is that it would be extremely rare. I do not think this marble is Ravenswood.

Looks Vitro, not so much Anacortes to me. Nice colors, it's a pretty one!

@Tommy Is there a place on yours to put a shooting marble in the chamber or is there a marble built into the chamber?

Yes, it is! It has a really nice pattern and the striping color is very unusual. It's a great marble!

Interesting, not a common color, for sure.
