  1. The first is a JABO and the second is a Vitro Black Line All Red, and I think the third one is a JABO too.
  2. That game is nearly identical to one made by students and sold at Berea College. There is an identical Shakman game for sale on EBay BIN for USD $12.78 + shipping.
  3. These marbles do not appear to be made in the USA. Given the single view, I would guess Asian. I am referring to the first pic, since the second one wasn't there when i originally looked at your post.
  4. You will probably get a better response if you only put one or two marbles in a single post. It makes it very difficult to ID the mibs when you are trying to keep track of numbers and scrolling up and down constantly to prepare a response. Most of us like to help with IDs but the easier you make it for us the more likely it is you will get the help you are seeking. I will say that the first marble appears to be a Peltier Rainbo and the last marble appears to be Asian - likely an Imperial. The colored glass (blue) marble above that is a "Clearie" or "Purie". Most companies made them for games and they are most often indistinguishable from one another. The marble above that (blue, white, red) is likely a Vacor or Mega marble from Mexico.

    Okay, now I am thinking #2 might be Marble King instead of Vitro, and #s 3-5 are looking to me like they might not be made in the USA. The yellow/brown one has me puzzled and, whatever the big blue one is, I don't think it glass and I do think it's newer.
  6. A little hard to tell all of what you have but some of them look like Akros.
  7. I see Peltier possibilities too.
  8. I am really glad too see Joe's site preserved too - thanks!
  9. Drizzle is seen when there is a fine stream of glass laying on top of the marble - like the glass drizzled onto the glob before it was rolled. You can see more examples here - marbles 56 & 125 show it best.
  10. I agree on the Peltier Rainbos, might need another couple of shots of that last one.
  11. I would say yes to Vacor, but it might be a newer one from Asia too.
  12. I'm not good with Marble King names but I think to be blended it would have to have another color besides purple, but I could be wrong.
  13. I think that would still be considered a triple cross-through, William. And yes, they are harder to find than single cross-throughs, which still have six vanes and three colors, but two vanes of the same color are next to one another, like W-B-B-W-R-R-(back to W). Yours is W-R-B-W-R-B-(back to white).
  14. I'm pretty sure I'd get more out of that one. But Galen, I thought you once said that anything younger than you wasn't old . . . change of heart? lol
  15. That's a nice blue oddball, Bill!
  16. That makes a great display, Brad, - nice. I wish I still had the one I played as a kid.
  17. And I am sure you're right. I need to slow down, the AV is obviousin that third pic and I thought I was seeing reflections.
  18. Honestly Ron, I don't think those marbles are named. I just called it a Sunny Sky because it seemed to fit and I knew that Bill would know which one I was talking about. Apparently you did too. When a name fits, it just fits, I guess.
  19. I got an original in a big collection I bought years ago. Every once in a while I get it out and shoot a few. I don't think I've ever gotten a marble in the 250 point hole.
  20. It's a great story, Ron. You made me double check my Sure Shot box - no luck. lol
  21. That Sunny Sky is one of my all time favorite marbles - what a beauty!
  22. Bill, I remember the day you found those Carnivals like it was yesterday. And I remember the day you gave me one even better! It's the top one in your pic.
