The Master Marbles I have seen that look like the first one usually have two visible seams.
-
You've got me wondering a little about JABO on the middle one . . . I hope @wvrons weighs in on that one - it'd be one of the better JABOs IMO.
-
The smaller ones are even harder to find.
-
Yes, and I'm betting they're all big - that middle one is very nice!
-
If (a very big if) American, I would guess Vitro on the first and JABO on the second but ?? The third is entirely unfamiliar to me - I doubt it's American made.
-
I would guess Asian, maybe Vacor, for these.
-
Yeah, there is not much to go on with these.
-
Do you see any distinct seams on the first one? The other two don't look familiar to me, but the last one is nice.
-
Another to look at:
-
9/16 Another interesting one. I'm thinking Alley on this one too.

I'm leaning CAC. -
Alley or CAC would be my guess, with a lean toward CAC.

Thanks a lot, Ron - I was hoping you'd chime in. It's one of the best Cairo snakes I have seen - back on the shelf it goes!
-
That movie creeped me out! So now. . . that marble is in a locked box, inside of a safe, in a barn, about a mile away. Thanks, Brad.

I posted this one a few years ago with no luck, or even suggestions, as to what the ID might be. I am thinking it might be Cairo but I would love to hear some other ideas - it's one of my favorites. It's snake-like, nice head, nice tail and a coil and a half - a good UV glow too. In the sun: Any thoughts?

Hello Carl, welcome to The Marble Connection. That looks to be a West Virginia Swirl. Several companies made similar and they are pretty hard to ID definitively.
-
What do you see in marble #2 (second marble first two pics) that makes you think Peltier?
-
I have been dying to get out - hoping to find a few bigger ones up in Michigan next week.
-
The second one looks like a machine-made that got spun, not exactly sure what though. I have a red one that looks a lot like it. And CAC or Akro would be my guess on the first.
-
I think Pelt for #s 1, 3 & 4, and maybe Vitro for #2.
-
I'll guess Akro Tricolor on the first, Alley on the second and a very nice Vitro for the third.
-
A couple of dandy marbles there, bo.
-
They're Pelts- good call.
-
We refer to some of the marbles in both pics as West Virginia Swirls. A number of different companies made them, one of the most prolific was Alley Agate. These are the marbles that have random swirl pattern and lack the seams you will find on Akros, Vitros, Peltiers, and others.
-
Greetings, marbles can be all kinds of fun! It looks like you have a mix of vintage marbles - I would guess from the 1930s-60s, maybe later. I see Akro, Vitro, Peltier, Alley, etc., and maybe a few newer ones from Asia.
