I would say a Vitro with a bit of a twist - nice marble.

Some of IDing JABOs has to do with the way the glass looks compared to vintage marbles. Another feature on many, but not all, JABOs is what is a sort of C- or U-shaped pattern in the striping glass, like that in your third and fourth pics. You can see more examples of what I am talking about in the marbles at Marble Alan's ID Guide.

I agree. And I think your pics would be a lot better for ID if you put the marbles on a darker, neutral color, non-reflective surface.

I'd say Alley first and Heaton second. It's pretty beat up and hard to get a good look at the details.

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Not a bad day, the multicolor hand vase is very nice. -
That's a great bunch of old German hand-mades - a great keepsake collection!

Not real common but not rare either.

Yes, a Vitro Tiger Eye.. If it's opaque, it's a Type IV.

My first thought is a Vitro Tiger Eye but it would be helpful to see both seams.

I see Alley.

It would be helpful to see straight-on shots of the seams but I would guess Master based on what i can see.

It's a very pretty marble - great blue. It's not one I would recognize as American. Although, I might be able to see Veiligglas.

From what I can tell, he marbles appear to be from different makers. To identify them, I would need to see them in normal light to see the colors and look at any seams.

It seems the bigger they get the wilder the get. Your first one's a beauty, and it looks like you save the crazy-patch Conquerors too. Here's one of my crazier Black Line All Reds:

It looks more like damage to me. Here is a good description of transitional pontils from the MCSA.

It's a great reference, for sure!

Different glass formulas can show significantly different reactions to UV. The bright Vaseline green and bright white are not uncommon responses, nor is the orange coming from what is likely a yellow color.

A very nice marble and a great photo, Art!
-
Very nice, Hansel. Thanks for showing it! I think it's the only one I've seen all together, and with very nice marbles too.
-
Very fancy, Rick!
-
And I agree.
