I'm leaning Heaton . . .

Might be JABO.
-
I think it's probably Alley.
-
it's Alley, and it is "flamey" but I don't think it qualifies as a full-fledged Flame. They really should have 5 stacked flame tips minimum.
-
It's an interesting marble - might be Ravenswood. Does it react to UV?
-
Wow, where in the world did you find those? Are they football (soccer in America) team jerseys? The patent info is really interesting too. Do you know any more about the company(s) that had the patent or made the marbles you show?

5/8” clear base veneered purple/red/white
Ric replied to Carowill's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I'd call that a Tri-Lite, Bill - earlier than any marble typically called a Black Line All Red, I think. -
That is sweet little box, Bill. I'm with Art . . . just by looking at the dimensions, and not knowing what the box is sitting on for size comparison, I could easily have guessed that box held 96 marbles (8 x 12). It's really cool, makes me wonder if it was a giveaway or souvenir from the House of Marbles at the fair. I think it's pretty special.

Clearly . . . take it from a guy who knows nothing about hand-made German marbles - it's a divided solid core.
-
Absolutely beautiful marbles and squeaky clean too! Very nice!
-
Oh boy, a little Wold's Fair box! Let's see what's inside!
-
Nice, I have never seen one that large - are they creased pontils? On second look, I do think I see the remains of one on Rick's marble.

18 marbles - Agree and ID (Veiligglas and so on)
Ric replied to Chris Parson's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I agree that the first 15 are Veiligglas - some nice ones in there too. Number 16 looks like a German striped transparent type. Number 17 looks European - a compressed sparkler type? And if number 18 is not a Peltier Rainbo it sure is an amazing replica. -
It looks like a transparent Rainbo to me.
-
I believe It does seem like an astonishing price for a Vacor. I think the seller is a fairly new member here - maybe he will have some insight.
-
It was a dandy when it was new - that's for sure!
-
Nice big one, Art! You're right those are none too common.
-
I think the definition of a flame has evolved from three stacked tips to five.
-
Looks like a fun variety to play with!
-
Swirls . . .
-
Many, but not all, are Champion. I've seen blue and metallic on Alleys and Ravenswoods too.
-
Peas - no pod.

Would this vitro just be called a tri color? .87 inces
Ric replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Here's a Sweet Pea and a Black-eyed Pea.

Ric replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Sweet Peas are opaque with red/pink and yellow with a green base - the OP isn't one. Black-eyed Peas have black and yellow with a green base. -
Not a "Flame" in my book, but calling it "flamey" is okay by me.
