    Too messed up for me to guess a maker, at least for me.
  2. Ric
    It's very crude, pretty much useless for marble games. Maybe it was made for decorative or industrial purposes - like for a lamp pull or claw foot or something.
  3. Ric
    The top one's sweet for sure, Bill. But I really like the orange peel on those big ones!
  4. Ric
    My best guesses on these would be Champion (maybe Alley), Heaton (maybe Cairo), and a JABO Jorkscrew.

    It's a simple fact . . . not all marbles can be positively identified, and transparent swirls are notoriously difficult since many companies made very similar marbles. I like the sort of "chevron" patterns on this one - it does look like it got spun on the rollers, whatever it is.

    Alley?

    Ric replied to NeozLilBallz's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    I think Heaton is a very good possibility.

    You are really fortunate to have that marble and the letter from your Grandpa. The set is a heirloom for sure. If it were mine, I would do my best to see that it stayed in the family.

    Toe breakers ?

    Ric replied to Tommy's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    Definitely Vacor, and there are plenty of them around, as far as I know - probably not as many as the smaller sizes though.

    Not to say it isn't often cool, but I think horsehair can be just a streak of some contaminant in the glass stream, and that it's usually unintentional. And I'm thinking maybe Heaton for Rick's marble.

    It is pretty cool looking . . . looks like it might have gotten hung up on the rollers. I'd guess a transparent WV swirl over a slag but you may never get a positive ID for this one.
  11. Ric
    Crazy cool!

    A very cool modern take on vintage lined crockery, sometimes called Jasper, marbles - that is a very nice keepsake!

    Too many different marbles in the same post makes them tough to keep track of . . .

    These are collector's names. Here's a great thread with some of the best:

    MK Bumble Bee.

    Another that got spun on the rolls - at first glance, I see Ravenswood but it could be something else.
  17. Ric
    It's a twisted mutant but I'd guess Alley.
  18. Ric
    I have (or maybe had) the same marble. I don't think it was oxblood - more like horsehair.
  19. Ric
    That is a very nice Marble King. I think it has a name but it's escaping me at the moment. Maybe a Red Bee?
  20. Ric
    A Lemon Ade, also categorized as a Moss Agate - corkscrew style.
  21. Ric
    I'd guess Heaton, Alley {maybe Ravenswood), Alley, Heaton, Alley, Ravenswood.
  22. Ric
    I think that would also be categorized as a Moss Agate.
  23. Ric
    Lime Ade marketed as a Moss Agate by Akro - not a corkscrew.
  24. Ric
    Yup - big Alley.
  25. Ric
    That's a great relic, Ron. Thanks for sharing!
