  1. I'd call it a crockery marble. I have a number of them but I am not sure about their origin. I usually lean toward Germany, mostly because of that greenish brown color, but I sure wish I had more certainty because sometimes I lean towards one of the earlier American manufacturers like Standard Toy Marble or American Marble and Toy Co. I do know that it's not what we typically call a Bennington and it is likely at least 100 years old.
  2. Those are cool, Art. I hadn't seen them before for so thanks for posting them!

    Opal Lady??

    It sure looks like a variant and it may well be an Opal Lady. It looks to have more lavender than most, which might explain why you're not seeing as much opalescence as you might normally expect. The base on these usually has a bit of a greenish tint to it but that might be hard to see on this one too.
  4. That's a Marble King called a Rainbow Red.
  5. That's an Akro Spiral, often referred to as a Snake.

    5/8 WVS

    I think the Dolphin is white striping with a transparent blue base - like a Rooster with a transparent blue base instead of a transparent red base.

    5/8 WVS

    Vacor is my thought too . . .
  8. It looks a little like a St. Mary's Alley but I think it might be a JABO Classic.
  9. There's a lot of color here, Joep - makes a nice display!
  10. This marbles is giving me a Heaton vibe . . .
  11. It looks like an Akro Moss Agate.
  12. It looks like a Peltier Rainbo to me.
  13. All I can say from these photos is that it looks more like a WVS than a slag and that it might be an Alley. As for the photos, I think you are a bit too close to the marble. It looks this way because the material behind the marble, which is farther away, is in focus but the marble and material in front of it is not. I recommend finding a tall glass or something similar that is about 8-10 inches taller than the marble to use as a "stand" for your phone/camera. Just set the phone on top of the "stand" with the lens off to the side and place the marble directly underneath it so it's in the middle of the frame. This way your camera will be steady when you take the photo. You may have to try a few different heights and light positions to get a nice clear photo but once you figure it out you can just keep doing it the same way and you will never have to worry about blurry photos again. ๐Ÿ™‚
  14. It's a weak one but it's a Buttermilk, IMO.
