    Looks like a nice marble but I'd need a few more views to attempt an ID.

    Looks like a nice find to me!

    It looks like an older 6-ribbon Peltier Rainbo - not bifurcated.

    There look to be some good ones in there but the "Civil War Star" clay marbles first surfaced around 1995 or so, if I remember correctly. The story was that they were unearthed while preparing one of the venues for the Olympic Games in Atlanta or some such balderdash. Of course, they are fakes.

    The structure is odd but not out of the question for Vitro Anacortes and the colors look right too, so that's the direction I am leaning.

    @crashbelt Nice Onionskins - great holiday colors! @Chad G. That is a nice Onion, Chad, and that Maglite is really cool - I never would have expected that ghost core! I guess you really do have to "backlight them all", just like Art always says. 🙂

    Oh yeah, that's a great marble!

    It's a cool game, John. I love playing old-style pinball. It's at least a buck a game to play restored machines these days though, at least around here.

    A true 13/16

    I tend to agree, the other possibility might be a CAC American Agate but . . . ?

    JABO Classic?

    I agree - kind of a funky cut-off.

    I don't think it's a Blue Zebra but it does look a little blue where the white base thins out over the dark striping glass.
  14. Ric
    The first and second look like they might be the same style marble - dark (blue?) translucent base with white striping? The third looks closer to a Zebra type - white base with black striping? Kinda hard to tell from the pics, though - maybe I'm seeing things. 🙂

    An old style Hurricane, IMO.

    @akroorka That might be the coolest Multicolor Swirl I have ever seen - crazy man, it almost looks like a Michelangelo! Super bubbllcious Rainbo too!

    Thanks for fixing that up, @Jeff54. And thanks for bringing it to our attention, @bumblebee. This is an amazing piece of glassware. I would think it has to be the earliest example of millefiori on record. It's hard to imagine that it was made so long ago. And is that some sort of metal embellishment, like a hook maybe? It's truly remarkable.

    Industrial media balls are made for use in grinding/polishing mills - think rock tumbler media.

    There are a few pics here . . .

    You're a lucky guy, I can't find anyone around here to play with!

    @Fire1981 That's a crazy double ingot, Rick - nice Heaton box too! @Chad G. Those dug ones sure look nice in a group!
  22. Ric
    That's a great marble, Jeff!
  23. Ric
    My first thought was a Hedgehog.
  24. Ric
    I've found some of my best marbles in drawers I hadn't looked in for decades. lol Great find!

    They're all Spirals. 🙂 1 &2 are also referred to as Prizenames. 3&4 might be called Tricolor Spirals. I don't know of any particular collector names for these types.
