    Mk?

    FWIW, the two red patches are what has me leaning away from All Red on this one.
  2. That black one sort of looks like it might be one of the notorious "black balls" - a hand made ballot marble, maybe.
  3. That'll help a lot for the German handmade aficionados here and I'll let them handle these two - may need another view or two to get a good look at the core to make a proper ID.
  4. The two on the left and the second one in the bottom row look like Alleys to me. The third in the bottom row looks like an Akro Corkscrew. I wouldn't dare a guess on the others without more views, but the two green ones on the right look like game marbles from this one.
  5. Top row looks like 3 Peltier Feathered Slags and two Peltier Multicolor Swirls. Bottom row looks like 2 more Peltier slags, an amber slag (need more views to ID) and two West Virginia Swirls. The bigger blue one up front looks like an Akro Spiral (snake). Nice marbles.

    Mk?

    MK and Vitro both made very similar marbles with these colors but I'm leaning slightly toward MK on this one too.
  7. The black one upper left is intriguing - can you tell what it is made from? And you can put those German swirls in a glass of water if you want to get a good look at the innards.
  8. Lots of clay marbles sometimes called "commies" and some Benningtons (the glazed ones with the "eyes"). The yellow on on top upper left is interesting, and the blue lined one below it looks like it might be a variegated clay - Jasper type marble.
  9. The very front one (with the lines) looks like a Peltier Rainbo. I'd need more views of the other red on white one next to it. The rest look like more Peltier Peerless Patches. You should check the black patches for aventurine (glittery stuff).
  10. That looks like a Peltier Peerless Patch.
  11. It's a little odd looking. I'd think Marble King, if the base is opaque, or Vitro if the white and color is veneered on clear.
  12. The marble is too out of focus for me to make a guess. It is really important, especially with swirls, that the photos are sharp and that the marble photo looks like the marble in hand with respect to color. It seems like your camera is focusing on the background and not the marble. You may want to try to back off just a bit and see if you if you get better results.
  13. Welcome to the Marble Connection! The marble on the left has lost its collectible value because of its condition. The other three are Akro Oxbloods. The two on the right appear to be Silver Oxbloods and the second in line may be too, but it might also be a Milky Oxblood - hard for me to tell from this single view. They are named for the look of the base glass. Silver Oxbloods tend to have a translucent base while Milky oxbloods have a milky opaque base glass.
  14. Those are some great Sunday Bests, Chad - that first Latticino is outstanding!
  15. Thanks, Chad, I really liked Winnie and I'm not sure how I missed that name. I don't think the OP marble is Veiligglas though.
  16. I agree with Rick on the IDs and never having heard of a "winny" marble. The only thing I can think of is that "winny" might be slang for a Winlock marble, but I don't think it's one of those.
  17. Pick of a dug litter after a good bath.
  18. If by "limited edition" you mean that no more marbles of that particular type will be made again, I would say yes. The Investor Runs usually produced marbles that are different enough to be recognizable by people who keep up with them.
  19. Heck yeah, they look great - way better than being packed out of sight!
  20. They're classic Pennsboro Alleys. I like them too.
  21. Blow holes are formed when bubbles near the surface of the marble burst. If this happens while the glass is still hot you will usually get a pit with "melted" smooth edges. If the bubble is just beneath the surface but remains covered by a thin layer of glass that later breaks you wind up with a blow hole that has rough edges. These can be considered as made imperfections but significantly reduce the grade of the marble and hence its collectible value. At least that's how I understand it.
  22. Here's a sample from Sistersville for comparison . . .
