Nice marbles, Bill. I am not familiar with either name but isn't that red on yellow one a Bee of some sort? The "orange" on white is really nice - I'm not sure I've even seen one before!

It does look like a pinch "pontil" doesn't it. Although I thought that while those were mostly found in Canada they were not necessarily of Canadian origin.

Pointing them out is the problem with so many different photos and so many different marbles in each - I do this for fun, and this is too much like work for me. If you want, pick out six marbles that you find interesting, line them up, take a photo, roll them a little (maintaining the order of the marbles in the line), take another pic, and post the pics in another thread - just different pics of the same group of marbles in each new thread. That'll make it a whole lot easier for anyone who might be willing to help you.

This is sort of overload - too many marbles in a single post. It makes it very hard to respond, other than to say there are a variety from JABOs to Vacors to Vitros to Marble Kings, and WV Swirls. The most obvious are the Marble King Bumblebees second from the top left compartment in your most recent first pic and more in the top two rows of another pic. Also lots of single-color MKs next to the Bumblebees in the first most recent case

Just a few 'bos . . .

Jeepers man - that last one . . . can you get any more AV into a marble? Very nice!

Pretty sure it's a swirl not a slag and my best guesses would be Cairo, then Heaton.

I'm wondering if you got into some Cerise Agates in a past lot . . .

I'm wondering about Cerise possibilities again.

Looks like Cerise possibilities to me.

Maybe slightly unusual Marble Kings?

They could well be Vacors but I don't think they are American, whatever they are.

They're Vitros but not sure about Anacortes - with five vanes, I think they're earlier ones from Parkersburg. I think most of the Cat's Eyes out of Anacortes were caged types.

Yes, most are Vitro Hybrids - pretty ones too!

I am leaning with Art toward foreign over Master.

Very interesting marble, Charlie - it's pretty different. I'm thinking it's an odd Peltier but we'll have to see what others think.

It looks like a pinch pontil transitional to me too.

It's a Honey Bee - extra nice in peewee size.

@Melissa Some very nice Vitros there, Melissa!

It looks legit to me - somebody with a fair amount of cash is going to get a very nice set!

It's beat to a pulp, but I always thought this was a Black Brick - am I wrong? I completely agree, no oxblood = no Brick, at least IMO. As far as I know, only one of the six named "bricks" that Chad showed has any. Please correct me if I am wrong.

That is a reputable site you referenced - I am just unfamiliar with the term "tuxedo" as it relates to alternating black and white strands in a laticcino core, which is very rare indeed. Your first marble is not a laticcino, it is a divided core, so it does not qualify as a "tuxedo" given their use of the term. Some laticcino cores can have colors other than white - imagine your second marble with yellow, orange or green strands in the core lattice. And sometimes, those colors can alternate with white.

I've never heard the term "tuxedo" in relation to a divided core, or any other German handmade for that matter. It might just be me but my guess is it's not a commonly used term, so don't be too surprised if nobody knows what you're referring to when if you use it. 🙂

Might be Vitro, might be Cairo or something else. I know, a lot of help, right? lol
