Welcome to the Marble Connection. Nice display - looks like your going to need another soon!
-
Glass is too nice for a Master Cat's Eye, IMO, and I've seen amber Peltiers but not pink. Vitro did some pink-based ones at Anacortes so . . . maybe?
-
That's a very pretty Vitro, IMO.
-
My best Onionskin . . . 1 15/16" . . . okay, so it's my only Onionskin. Turns out I'm starting to fancy hand-mades. Heaven help me . . .
-
Nice Tommy! No question about that one.
-
I suppose you could debate if these are clear or not . . .
-
I'm seeing a Peltier Peerless Patch.
-
I did a little poking around - check out the 2023 Vacor Fires. And I think there is a good chance of JABO for the second one now too.
-
I have been trying to learn more about art glass marbles and I'm pretty sure I have seen this type before but I am having a hard time placing them even after seeing the signature. In situations like this, I always hope that @Alan will chime in - he's probably forgotten more about contemporary art glass marbles than I've ever know.

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

I wonder if you are thinking about the "flip-flopping" of ribbon colors at the seams on Peltiers . . . ?
-
I'm with Art and JABO, for now. If the white fluoresces strongly, I might think differently.
-
This is a lot to digest in a single post. It appears to me that most are JABO Classics. You'll probably get a better response to your ID request if you start a new post for each group.
-
I'm thinking the first is modern and foreign - perhaps Vacor. The second looks like a Vitro to me.

@YasudaCollector Thanks for posting this - it is a very interesting topic. I took a liking to the old fire tree sulfide paperweights quite a few years ago. Here are a couple of highly faceted ones I just acquired. I really like the way that light and reflections play on the faceted surfaces. When you walk around and look at them there is a really neat sort of kaleidoscopic effect. 🙂

Nice, Melissa. I just saw a couple of Aguilla bags with Mosaicos. Honestly, I was surprised at the quality of the marbles. Some of them were every bit as nice as Masters, and some even better IMO. I am not mistaken these marbles were made before company moved and evolved into Vacor.

Nice score @VaMarbles but I am not seeing an Alley Carnival or a Ravenswood Green Raven, have I missed them somewhere? -
These are going to be tough to definitively ID. Many companies made similar. I'd have to have them in hand to dare a guess, and even then I might not have much confidence who made them. Sorry I can't offer more.

It appears you have a range of ages from the 30s-50s (Vienna and Parkersburg locations), with the Tiger Eyes being the later ones (50s, maybe 60s). And I don't see anything in the group that I don't have examples of - nice marbles but nothing too uncommon, IMO.
-
A favorite Champion poly bag . . . The reason should be obvious . . . 🙂
-
A couple of big Vitro Hybrids - 7/8" and 27/32" . . . . . . a little chunk of green AV in the second one.
-
Yes, it is a WVS. Cairo marbles are not uncommon, although a busy pattern like this one would be less usual.
-
This is a swirl not a patch. Patches usually have two distinct seams on opposite sides of the marble and the color is found concentrated in one or more "patches" on the surface.
