    Vitro?

    Pretty sure those are odd Vitro Yellow Jackets on the right. Maybe a Trilite on the left.
  2. I am very sorry to hear this. Pete did a lot for the marble collecting community, and I extend my most sincere condolences to his family and all who loved him.
  3. I think, maybe, but it's borderline. The thing that can complicate the ID is that Bullseyes should have a different color surrounding the top patch and sometimes there is a more or less clear area surrounding the top patch that can give the illusion of another color. Here are some Bullseyes for comparison . . .
  4. I could see a Champion game marble too, but yeah, not much to go on . . .
  5. The green one in the center is Akro. The only other one that may not be a Conqueror is the "black" one just lower left of that, but I think there is a good chance it's Vitro too.
  6. It's a little different but I'd have the OP with my Paltier Rainbos - no Vitro colors that I am familiar with.
  7. Yes, these are Vitro - the "other Blackies". Are they calling them "Reverse Blackies" now? It does make some sense. They are not what have traditionally been called "Anti-Blackies".

    What ?????

    I'm thinking CAC for this one too - kinda looks hand-gathered, but I have seen Ravenswoods with similar colors and UV reactivity too.
  9. I love to see marble innards! And I'm still thinking CAC.
  10. I agree with Steph, it's a modern reproduction, and Akro did not screen print a Tom Mix marble.

    7/8 MK

    You're welcome.
  12. Looks like a a CAC American Agate to me, but not a whole marble, maybe?

    What ?????

    Cool pattern, looks like it's missing a lot of glass. What size was it and what does the backside look like?
  14. It's an odd one but it's giving me Marble King vibes.
  15. Yes, no oxblood and probably JABO but too few distinct traits for a positive ID.
  16. Maybe I should have said "newer style", i.e., not a Black Line All Red - mid 60s or so.

    It looks newer to me.
  18. I'd say foreign, likely Asian, and a monster!
  19. I think it's a newer All Red.
  20. I don't think most folks would call those canes, Ralph, more like hand-gathered globs. AFAIK, canes are made in a rod-like form and then used to make marbles later, and you can form and cut multiple marbles from the same cane. I think hand-gathers are one-offs but they still need to be cut from the gather that is stuck to the punty rod. The machine is used to round the gob that is cut off. It does look like they may be using bits of cane as a source of glass though.
  21. The marble in your OP looks like it has transparent green striping, Charlie, which I have never seen on a Conqueror. Also, that Conqueror you just showed probably still has two visible seams.
  22. This looks like it could be an interesting one, I wish it was in better focus
  23. I agree, photos would be helpful.
  24. Those are single seam hand-gathered slags - CAC, I think.
  25. I think Chuck probably nailed that upper left one - Champion.
