  1. Nice Vitros, Joep - Yellow Jackets are certainly less common than Blackies, All Reds, Whities, etc., so it's not too surprising that you don't have many.
  2. To me, it looks like metallic debris of some sort.
  3. Happy to hear it was a good show and that you enjoyed it - looks like you found some nice marbles!

    ID please

    Single color swirls can be tough to ID accurately, especially if they have a simple pattern. Having said that, I would guess Alley on top and Heaton on the bottom. The patches look mostly Peltier to me.
  5. I think JABO for the first but I am not entirely sure and I would say Marble King for the second one.

    MK or Pelt

    What makes you think Peltier for these two? Are they dug?
  7. The upper left one does look like a Peltier Banana. The lower right is a transparent swirl (not a Cat's Eye). The rest are foreign Cat's Eyes, IMO. The Peltier and the transparent swirl appear to be vintage and some of the foreign Cat's Eyes may be too but it's hard for me to say for sure
  8. Blue Ravens have brown base glass, and I do not think this marble is a Ravenswood - maybe Heaton?

    All jabo

    I'm not sure about the upper left one or the third one in the top row but the rest do look like JABOs to me.
  10. I'd guess one of the Leighton types from Ohio, perhaps Navarre or Barberton.
  11. Looks most like a Grenier or Leighton to me. Does it have a pontil? I can't tell if there is one.

    5/8 WVS

    Could be Champion.

    Vitro?

    Yes, Vitro, two Whities on the right, a Tiger Eye lower left and a weirded-out Black Line All Red upper left.
  14. I'd agree it's a "burnt" Peltier of some sort.
  15. They're both great boards but I think each looks better because it's with the other - a very nice pair for sure!

    White swirl

    It's an interesting one, another long-time collectors might call a "slag", but it is a 11/16" clear transparent based swirl with white striping glass. I could attribute it to several different makers so I won't bother with a guess. I don't really like to guess at marble identifications - I prefer to leave a marble unidentified rather than spread misinformation. Perhaps someone else will be able to offer a more informed perspective.
  17. @Gladys That's a cool one - nice size too, it's like a tornado in there.
  18. Here are a couple of different views of the middle marble showing the yellow striping. 1/32" shy of 5/8" so still size No. 0. At this point, I think I've convinced myself it's Alley. lol
  19. I think the structure on the inside of the "9" is a Heaton "ear". It and the way the thin green striping disappears into the base glass rules out both Akro Corkscrew and hand-gathered slag possibilities, IMO. The sort of lazy spiraling structure is also fairly common on Heatons. I have very little doubt it is a WV Swirl.

    Peltier

    Peltier "Polar Bear" is a thing now and I agree this one likely qualifies.
  21. I agree, the bottom two may be more of a "Wales" style.
  22. The two outer ones are Heatons but I am not entirely sure about the middle one - it may be Heaton too. But the base glass on that one is much better quality - maybe batch glass, and it has lone yellow on it that isn't shown in these two views. So I am debating between Alley and Ravenswood - leaning Alley, even though it is a little undersized. And since L.E. Alley was the first to make marbles at Ravenswood, I'll be happy any way it goes - the yellow in this color combination makes it uncommon, regardless. Maybe we can get @wvrons take on it - I'd sure appreciate it.
