The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
Ric replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Nice find! -
It looks like a six-ribbon Peltier Rainbo.
-
Interesting marble, it looks mostly Asian to me.
-
It is certainly a trait on many Vacors, especially the larger ones, but you do see it on other mostly foreign-made marbles too.
-
Lots of nice color there, Joep!
-
I am not entirely sure if they would all qualify as Lilacs but I think they might.
-
I'd guess foreign, perhaps Vacor - and a wild one at that. It's just got that one big fold. My thinking is it was intended to look more like a "Fiesta-style" marble.
-
Some nice old transparent WV Swirls - tough to ID with certainty. I'd need to see more views of each before I might venture a guess. 🙂
-
I can see why one might think about Cosmic Rainbows but this looks like a quirky foreign Cat's Eye to me. The elongated bubbles and overall quality of the glass and colors rules out Vitro for me.
-
I've always been fond of white slags. Marbles just don't get much simpler than white striping glass in clear transparent . . .

These are a cool type of Vitro . . . All have a white patch and a red ribbon on clear transparent glass. In addition, there is just a touch of green, yellow or blue color up under the white patch on some of them. It really gives the illusion that they have colored transparent base glass. I think these are early ones from the Vienna location - perhaps, early Tri-Lites.

They may well be Champion game marbles. It's no surprise that even single color game marbles often exhibit traits associated with the particular company that made them.

@davesnothere Those are nice big ones! I don't think there is any real debate about who made these 1" marbles that Alox packaged. You can find similar 1" marbles in a bag with blue lettering rather than the the black lettering this one has. It's always tough to get a good image of the marbles inside of an old poly bag . . . big ones with good black filaments, like upper left in this bag, are harder to find, for sure.
-
@William It looks like a Corn Husk to me - pretty distinctive sorta like a "patch".
-
Nice marbles, Art, is that first one closer to a Melon Ball than a Clearie?
-
and that ain't nothing . . . I will say that if it was my marble, I'd keep it!
-
Yes, the term "slag" most often refers to simple marbles made with a transparent clear or colored base glass and white striping glass. Many companies made similar. Some have one or two distinct cut-off marks, or "seams", others like some Peltiers, have unique "feathering" patterns, etc. Some might be wholly hand -gathered and -rounded or transitional types, where they are hand-gatherd and machine-rounded, some old types are even cut from canes like old latticinos, and other hand-made German types.
-
The left looks like a newer style Vitro All Red but the right one looks to be veneered on transparent, in which case, it would probably be a Type III Tiger Eye. If the right one is opaque, it might be a Type IV.
-
I think it might be a cool Akro Slag.
-
It might be one of Jackson's Marbles - I am leaning a little that way over a very nice JABO Classic.
-
It looks like a Japanese transitional to me too, and I agree it may be Yasuda.
