    Kokomo?

    I don't see any particular reason to call this one Kokomo.
  2. The red/brown one looks Akro to me. A question worth asking yourself before you post for ID is, "Does this photo accurately represent what the marble looks like in hand?" Colors can be important for a proper ID and your photos are all we have to go on. And FWIW, I think this one may be an Imperial too . . . straight on views of both seams are often necessary for proper ID.
  3. I'm pretty sure the green one is an Imperial (Asian) but I am okay with the second from the bottom being Master (thanks for the additional pics). And this is the red/brown I was referring to . . .
  4. The second to the last marble (3rd-6th photos up from the bottom).
  5. I agree that most are Master but I think that green one may be foreign and the red/brownish one might be Akro and i wonder about the second to last marble too. Straight on views of both seams would be helpful with IDs . . .

    UV Cullet

    That creamy color reminds me of the Vitrolite glass that was used by a number of WVS manufacturers..
  7. OMG, no! And I am very sorry to hear that your granddaughter passed - that must have been very hard. Losing young people is just tragic. 😢
  8. Oh wow, you've got some talent! They're all great but these are my favorites. Some of those "tracers" are killer! Do you sign them? I thought this was an Alley - now you've got me wondering. 😉 Those are really all very nice marbles, Chris! What size are they?
  9. You know, I sure would like to see some of Chris's marbles in this thread - hint, hint @tankgrrl29!
  10. Yeah, that's a nice one. The neon green is pretty unusual.
  11. I like everything about this little china - the quality of the porcelain, the unusual design, the colors, the symmetry, the condition, just a beautiful example IMO.
  12. I have seen several - the "Temple of Heaven" graphic is great, and so are the black cat's eyes.
  13. Very nice group, Melissa. I know you like the uranium glass - you need to find one of those PPPs now. 🙂
  14. That's a great display, Chad - I really like the assortment!
  15. A less common two color Marble King P&R (Rainbow) is what I see.
  16. I would say that it could be a Marble King but I am not sure how you would know for sure. It seems like the seller has multiples and is offering them up together with Wee Glows in another listing so . . . maybe? But I don't think who made this one will have any real effect on it's collectible or monetary value. Especially if there is no way to verify its ID.
  17. Well, Pam is pretty cool - love the belly button. She reminds me of a Nordic troll. Any ideas about her origins?
  18. I spoke with Sue at the Amana show after Les passed, she had a large "interment marble" with Les's remains with her. I seem to recall her telling me that the marble was made by a company in California. But this was a long time ago and I am not 100% sure I am recalling it correctly.
  19. That's where I would have them.
  20. Again, it's your marble. You have it in hand. You can call it whatever you like.
  21. All I know about your marble is what I see in the photos. I don't think your marble is a classic Bennington. If you do, that's okay by me.
  22. It appears to be a sort of graduated cylinder, and since the units are milliliters, I would guess it had a laboratory/pharmaceutical use.
  23. Your marble looks like it is glazed to me. Common clay marbles (commies) are not glazed.
  24. I do not think the marks on your marble come from marbles contacting one another. They are unlike the eyes you can see on the three Bennington marbles that Chad posted. I do not think your marble comes from a batch-loaded kiln, I think your marble was made using a kiln tripod. That is why I do not think it is a classic Bennington type marble.
