FWIW, that blue is pretty unusual for a typical Cub Scout, IMO. I have seen these as normal P&Rs but I've also seen them called different things, Golden Boy among them, but I don't think that's right either, my best idea would be a Blended Anemic Cub Scout.

I'm having the same "strait on seam shot" issue with this one. 🙂

If it was a master, I probably wouldn't call it a "brushed patch" but I'm not even sure it's Master. I notice that you often don't show a straight on photo of both seams, which is often critical to having the best chance at an accurate ID - I'd like to see a straight on shot of the seam at the top of the marble in the upper left small pic before I say more. I do appreciate that nice shot of the other seam in the lower right photo though. 🙂

I think it's a Peltier Rainbo.

I'm pretty much with Al - $227 does seem high. But it is a 100 count bag and they are certainly less common in that size. The only other thing that I can see that may have influenced the price is that it has a mixture of patch & ribbon and double ribbon types in it, although I'm not sure how common or uncommon that is.

That is a cool marble - it almost has to be a Peltier, IMO.

I sort of think of these as "tweeners", FIre - a six ribbon Rainbo, and far less common than an Orange Sunset too, IMO.

You may want to consult Steph's old list of contemporary marble artists. And hope @Alan will take a look at it too.

It does look quite a bit like a Master but I am getting a significant "Imperial" vibe from this one.

There is no getting around the fact that this marble is messy but, FWIW, I think the seam is actually where I've drawn it. The two ribbons on either side of it have come together to produce that blobby mess of a "patch". IMHO, of course.

It's hard to keep track of the seam(s) - are there two or is it just one long one? If there are two, I'd agree with Fire - an odd Peltier Rainbo.

Heaton is my take on it - perhaps, a really Rotten Robin.

It's not Vitro. I think a Vacor Dragon is most likely.

Sure enough, there is a bit of UV reactive glass in there, which I don't think is too unusual with these.

Vacor colors, IMO, although I'm not used to seeing that kind of structure for a Vacor, but it is peewee so . . . maybe? If it's American it would almost have to a Marble king but I'm not feeling it.

I was really just wondering if I was missing something that made it obviously Heaton. Heaton did use similar colors and I can see where you're coming from, but here is what I see. I see the seams you see. I see colors JABO used. I also see the "S" sort of structure, the striations in the base, which looks like it has some clear mixed in and is too weak (sort of translucent) for Heaton. I see what appears to be a tight "BC" - it seems to some out of the lower portion of the "S" in the first small pic and extend on into the middle lower pic. And then there is the white washed over the black in the lower left pic. That's why I lean JABO. And you'll never hear me bad-mouth Classics. JABO made some great marbles and this would surely be one of them.

My first thought is a JABO Classic. What makes you think it's not?

These look modern to me, perhaps Vacor.

I've seen these types before. This might be a tough exercise for you but try to think of the white as ribbons and the red as base glass. Just kind of flip it around. 🙂

FWIW, I don't think it's Vitro. I think it's a Peltier too.

@marblemanvintagemarbles Is the stuff in the center more like a wafer (flat) or a blob? I would expect any pontil to be pretty much on the opposite side of the from that seam or cut-off. Do you see anything there?

I am not exactly sure what you are asking - I think they would be identified as Peltier Rainbos. I don't think there is any other name associated with them.

I agree with Art.

Yes, it looks like an Alley to me.

I think it looks better, and I've given my opinion of what it is. Might nice to see what @I'llhavethat1 would call.
