I think these are both Cat's Eyes, maybe foreign. The white inclusion you see is a piece of oven brick. And bananas are usually associated with the Peltier marble company, and I do not believe either of these are Peltiers.
-
Not a Blackie. It looks like a odd Tiger Eye.
-
This one also looks like a slag to me. But I can't really see enough in the pics to try and determine a maker or weather it is a transitional type.

This one looks like a slag marble to me - perhaps Akro.

If this is a fantasy bag! I am opening it up! Thank you!
Ric replied to Gladys's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I would guess it is since the marbles look like JABOs and foreign Cat's Eyes but I would try to get confirmation from @Al Oregon to be sure. -
The first looks like a newer confetti style marble. The second is an old German cane-cut hand-made, an Indian I believe. The third falls among marbles known as West Virginia Swirls. It may be Alley or Ravenswood. The last one is interesting but I would need more pics to tell what it might be.

No, this is a Black Line All Red. The most common Blackies have the same color on both poles, with a (usually) much thicker black band around the middle.

Nice marble, Gladys - really interesting oxblood!
-
Dang, that's a nice box, Bill!

Joep posted these not too long ago . . .

His description of cracking and fragmenting grinding stones is pretty harrowing. I hadn't thought about that before but I sure wouldn't want to anywhere around when it happened - yikes!
-
There are some Aquamarines here.
-
Aqua, it's not so uncommon on those older types. That one's getting close to what is called an Aquamarine.
-
That's a Conqueror - they can get wonky when they get bigger
-
Yeah, I really have no idea what it is. All I can think of is Vacor or maybe Asian.
-
If it's American, I might be able to see MK but not Vitro.
-
is this a nice big "phantom conqueror". .94 inches!
Ric replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Conquerors have the white veneered on the surface of the marbles. The white in Phantom Conquerors is stringy and inside the base glass, like this one. -
That is a really cool bubble, almost looks like it was blown in. And the reflections of the ribbons on it are neat too.

Carrying fossilized poop around is a little different than carrying marbles but I can see why you would if it's from your Grandfather. Oddly enough, my wife's Grandfather gave me a coprolite he found on his Illinois farm long ago. But it's too big for pocket talisman. I've got my magic bean for that.

It's a little sloppy - tough to make out the seams.

Ric replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I agree. -
I think it's probably foreign.
-
Maybe I should have added, " . . . away from my marbles and photos." It's not like I'm stuck and I can't get out. 😆

Show your Cats eyes---or other pets--LOL

Who . . . Me? Great looking pooch. 😆 -
Sometime after 1958, not earlier ones from St. Mary's.
