Sure enough, JABO Lawnchairs. There were a couple of different runs. I think these came from the first of them. I think @Melissa has some prettier ones from a later run.

Yes, what might usually be red is orange. It's a good Akro, for sure - harder to find than a Superman, IMO. I'd be interested to hear what @disco005 might say about this one.
-
You know, Vitros are about the only marbles with seams I have ever given one whit about but that has changed since getting to know the El Aguilas better. It's sort of odd, but I think I'm getting a little bored with American machine made marbles.
-
@akroorka Don't forget El Aguila, which I think this is - the colors and construction are spot on. 😁
-
@Parmcat Really man, go easy on yourself! 😉
-
When I think of Vitro oxblood I think of this . . . And maybe this . . . @VaMarbles If that one was mine, I'd have it with my Akros.
-
I thought I saw a hint of it in your pics. 👍
-
Late 1850s into the early 1900s, I think. You might also see them referred to as variegated stoneware.
-
Sort of a fancy clay swirl - It's called a Jasper or a lined crockery (German). You can find them with green, blue and/or pink lines.
-
This shows the sort of cage-like structure that you're looking for in the core of a latticino.
-
I had a reverse brain glitch - it's a JABO Ace.
-
Nah - that's purple. 🙂
-
That pinkish base and chunky AV is the tell.
-
Here is an Opal Chad posted in the past - see that orange opalescent glow at the bottom of the marble? That's what you're looking for. Yours may not be as pronounced as his is.
-
I can see whay you might think Vitro - it does look a lot like a new style All Red with some extra color (blue) but it doesn't look quite right to me and I wonder about foreign (not American) possibilities.
-
Might be a Vacor Sunset.
-
Not Peltier. It looks a lot like a Vitro Opal to me. Do you see an orange opalescent glow if you weakly backlight it?
-
Not a Peltier. I'm pretty sure it's from a JABO contract run. I think @Fire1981 will know which one - I forget.
-
It looks more like an odd little coreless swirl to me. I'm not seeing what most would consider a lattice.
-
This is a pretty one - an Alley is my thinking.
-
Welcome aboard! That is a Seike crease "pontil" transitional (hand gathered and machine rounded) marble from Japan. One of my favorite colors too. 🙂
-
I think Akro too. IMO, the interesting thing about these marbles is that they are basically slags - white with a yellow/amber base glass.
-
You should be sure. 😉
-
Just a couple of Billy's good Sparklers . . . His pics too.
