These are notoriously difficult to ID accurately. It's a transparent WV Swirl of some sort, maybe Ravenswood, but maybe another company. The only time I even try to sort these is if I specifically recognize them from original packaging or dug examples. And even then it can be very hard since different companies made marbles that you could never separate from on another.

You need to be careful with what you read online. I have heard of Vitros and I have heard of Sparklers but I have never heard of a "Vitro Sparkler". 🙂 I agree it is foreign, and tend to think Vacor, like Steph.

I agree.

Nice find, Edward.

Yes, Clearies or Purees.

I don't see any American made marbles here.

I think the Cat's Eye's you are showing are foreign - likely made in Asia.

Purees or Clearies with a bit of iridescence. They are not collectible but are often used as decoration in various craft projects, etc.

They are certainly newer but they could be Chinese or something else. No American company that I know of made marbles like these. And I can't imagine how you would figure out if it was Vacor or someone else.

There are lots of reflections on the surface of the marble, your phone, your fingers, furniture, wall decor, etc, which makes it hard to see what the marble really looks like. It also looks like it is different colors depending on which photo you look at. Since all we have to go on for ID are your photos, it's important that they accurately show the marble's color. If the photo doesn't look like the marble in hand it can be near impossible to provide an accurate ID. My impression of this one is that it's a Vacor Rooster with an interesting pattern. Although, it might be vintage, it's hard to tell from the pics.

They appear to be JABO Classics, 1992-2007.

Will it stick to a magnet? If so, probably just a weird, perhaps damaged, ball-bearing or something similar. If not, it sorta looks like it might be pewter or some other type of metal, in which case, I have no idea. lol.

Basically, hand-made game marbles. The white one is like those found in old ballot boxes.

First thought is JABO.

I'd say Akro.

Just hand-made opaques, I think, I like the pink one.

I'd say Vitro.

Sorry to hear it, Chad. I hope everything "comes out" well!

Pretty cool, I wonder who made them?

I think it's a slightly odd All Red with some clear in it, which might make the white look a little more "cake-ish" where it has less clear.

Nice group, Gladys!

Whoa . . . I I agree that is really cool looking! Good looking group too!

The red/yellow color combination is pretty common in Rainbow Reds but is far less common in the standard Patch & Ribbon type (Ruby Bee). I think "blended" red/yellows are a bit more common. Here is a photo of Ruby Bees that Ron Shepherd posted some time ago . . .

The Greniers were one of the first glass marble making families in Thuringen Germany back in the mid 1800s. If I remember correctly, they patented marble shears and are famous for producing hand-gathered faceted (ground) pontil marbles like yours. That is an exceptional marble you have there, Art - treasure it.

I'm pretty sure the "Pink Champagne" name's been around for at least 20 years. But it wouldn't surprise me to be a variant of "root beer", like you say.
