  1. I'd like to have a Chinese Birdcage.
  2. Normal tolerances for marble production are not that tight. The 1.5 mm difference between the largest and smallest you describe amounts to about 6/100". Vintage American marbles had tolerances of about 1/16", e.g., a No. 0 marble (nominally 5/8") was anywhere from a hair over 9/16" to 5/8", while a No. 1 marble would be anywhere from a hair over 5/8" to 11/16", etc. And FWIW, I think the peewees you're showing may be JABOs.
  3. RE the OP: The red and black on white and the blue and red on white are vintage MK Rainbo Reds. The others appear to be vintage patch and ribbon style (including the Bumble Bee). I'm not sure I see any newer style MKs in the group. Although, the two green on white and the upper right marble are tough to ID definitively from the single view.
  4. These appear to be Peltier Rainbos.
  5. I'm leaning Akro. I'll bet it was beautiful new and that it looks a lot better now than it did before it was heavily polished - nice size.
  6. Three good Peltier Rainbos and what Ron Shepherd used to call a "ho-hum" marble - the fourth one is nominally collectible, regardless of who made it.
  7. Yes, a Marble King - the poles are the same color so it is a later patch & ribbon style.
  8. I think it's an early Alley from the Sistersville location - great marble, and while it does have similar colors, I wouldn't call it a "Coral".
  9. A Peltier Rainbo, for sure - the earlier six-ribbon type is far less common than the four-ribbon variety.
  10. I agree with an Asian Caged Cat's Eye.
  11. Yes, An Alley, from the St. Mary's location - fairly common, I think.
  12. This is certainly a JABO. I don't recall the name of the run but there were some really great peewee flames in it.
  13. Ric

    Vitro?

    It's a pretty one. It gives me some Marble King vibes but it might be Vitro - I haven't seen them all.
  14. @Tommy I think it's a Classic, Tommy - not sure how old but not from an investor run.
  15. I'm not convinced the first is a Vitro either . . .
  16. The second one looks more MK than the first to me. That chiffon color on the first reminds me of Master but . . . ?
  17. Looks Akro to me too.
  18. I'm thinking JABO too.
  19. I don't think I'm seeing a Whispler but I am not sure what it is . . . I do wonder about Kokomo as a possibility though.
  20. I would call the left one a Moss Agate and the right one a Royal. I don't recall a more specific name for the right one but I could be wrong.
  21. I'm pretty sure these are Kokomos.
  22. Straight on shots of both seams would help with ID - it's either Master or an Imperial (Asian) type, IMO.
  23. They may be the newer version of Hercules but that name is probably reserved for the original patch and ribbon style.
