It might help to show them all.
-
It's newer, SMM, DAS or JABO Contract marble would be me guess.
-
I'm thinking it's a busy Vacor Old Fashioned.
-
I agree with a newer DAS, SMM or a JABO contract marble.
-
Some kind of a crazy All Red is my guess.
-
Looks like an odd Hurricane but I don't know if Vacor made frosted ones, or what they called them if they did.
-
I think it's a Pennsboro Alley.
-
two opaque colors are Prizenames (middle)
-
You answered my previous question earlier so i edited this post: That middle one's going the opposite direction from the others. I would like to see nice clear close-up shots of the "pontils" on these. Without that, I can't say much more than that they are interesting, and unusual, at least to me.
-
It looks pretty odd for Navarre or Barberton to me, even with the looping - something just seems off. But I am sure they made some oddballs too.
-
I'd like to see a close-up view focused on the pontil. These are examples of creased "pontils" you'd expect to see on Yasuda transitionals . . . FWIW, I'm not thinking yours is Yasuda.
-
I'm leaning toward MK but it's a weirdo, regardless.
-
That yellow spiral on red/orange is very nice, Joep!
-
That's a beautiful Carnelian!
-
Yes, although it may or may not have been intentional, and while there are probably more "V"s on Vitros than other makers, the trait is not exclusive to Vitro. It usually happens when the seams are "pinched together" (both are found on the same half of the marble) and a "fold" results.

I've not seen a Japanese transitional that's 15/16" - do they get that big?
-
37 F would be downright balmy around here lately.

2024 ORANGE COUNTY MARBLE SHOW - California
Ric replied to westcoast_dave's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Just go ahead and tell them now . . . "I plan to be violently ill March 20-23". -
An easy way to remember the sizing scale is: 5/8" = 10/16" = No. 0 (in reality, anything from a hair over 9/16" up to 5/8" is a No. 0) 11/16" = No. 1 3/4" = 12/16 = No. 2 etc. Just add zeroes for 1/16" increments less than 5/8" (No. 0) player size. Peewees = not a hair bigger than 1/2" = No. 000 9/16" = No. 00
-
It should be noted that the size of marbles within any "size number" group can vary considerably. For instance, a No. 0 can be anywhere from a hair over 9/16" up to 5/8", a No 2 could be anywhere from a hair over 11/16" to 3/4", etc.

Needing confirmation or recommendations for, Alley Ghost?
Ric replied to justin78berry's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Some good shots of any ribbon ends usually helps a lot with ID. But it looks like it could be an Alley Ghost or variant here. -
It's hard to tell from these pics. It might be Master but it's damaged to the point where it has no significant monetary value.
-
I agree with JABO on the left and right. The middle is a little odd. It might be Vitro but it looks like it could be an odd MK too.
-
They all look Vitro to me, maybe an outside chance of JABO for the last one. I like the script "V".
