  1. I'm leaning MFC slag. Kinda cool the way the end of the stream flipped back on itself in the second to the last pic.
  2. I am thinking Kokomo too, especially if the base shows any kind of opalescence.
  3. I think they're Asian too.
  4. Not Peltier, potentially Vitro, most likely JABO, IMO.
  5. I think there is a good chance this is a Vitro Tomato - one of the coolest game marbles out there, IMO.
  6. The Peltier or Kokomo debate has gone on for years and years, especially for a few particular types of marbles - the OP marble included. There are some marbles that can be definitively assigned to Kokomo and others that can be definitively assigned to Peltier. And there are likely some examples that were made by each company and you would struggle tell them apart, even in hand. There are still other examples that cannot be definitively attributed to one company or the other because they have not been found in original packaging or dug at either location. For examples like those, I always go with Peltier, just because they made many, many, times the number of different types, and numbers of marbles in general, than Kokomo ever did in its short history. When in doubt, I think it is wise to play the odds and go with Peltier. And while you may not be right every time, chances are that you will be wrong a lot less often. Having said that, I think Chuck's marble is Kokomo, not because it has lots of big bubbles but because of the base glass, which is the same as that you find on the less bubbly Kokomo Christmas marbles - the red is pretty much the same too. I use the same sort of thinking to call the OP marble Peltier. It has the same hyper-bubbly base glass as other known Peltiers, and I have not seen similar in known Kokomo examples. I live in Indiana, and this is how I approach the subject. Because of that, I have a rather small collection of Kokomo marbles. But I am at least 95% confident that they actually are Kokomos. Just my two cents.

    Uuuugh!

    @Fire1981 What type of base-glass does that marble have?
  8. I completely agree, I was just talking about the size in my first response. I think anything over 1-1/2" in good condition would be a real find.
  9. I think Ravenswood too.

    5/8 WVS

    I think your guess might be as good as anyone's for this marble, Fire. My best shot at it would be Champion but it could easily be something else.
  11. You sure didn't get that Vitro ID from me, Fire. Your marble is a PPP as far as I am concerned. That's the same weird sorta base glass as the other PPP glower you've posted. I posted two of them in response to that post.
  12. Yikes! That doesn't look good. Glad to see you posting!

    Alley?

    Bill's got it - Ravenswood.

    Uuuugh!

    Is that some kind of an odd Bruiser?

    5/8 Swirl

    Cool Silver Oxblood, IMO - almost looks like a Moonie base with that blue cast to it. I think the ox is just burnt a little and there might be some additional black color in there too - cool marble.
  16. This looks more like an Akro to me - a little odd, but Akro.

    2 PPP’s

    Yes, PPP. I am sure you've seen the one I posted like these that has a feathering of the white in the base glass. Yours are heading that direction, for sure.
  18. Chemtrails left by alien spacecraft manipulating our weather - I'm sure of it.
  19. That's what I was imagining when you said "coreless swirl".
  20. That's what I am thinking - Vacor Sunset.
  21. Ric

    Alleys?

    Most, if not all, are Alley, IMO.
  22. Yes, a newer style All Red - sometime after about 1970.
