  1. The one color swirls like #3 are often hard to ID since several companies made ones that are nearly identical. I think you should check for AV in that blue one, since I think I see a little green leaking out of the blue, and it does look like it could be an Alley.
  2. I couldn't find my original comment so I will reiterate here. What I hoped to say is that it's harder to find rainbos with clear transparent glass bases and colored ribbons than it is to find those with colored transparent glass bases and white ribbons. But it's fun to collect the white-ribboned ones in colored glass because there are some colors that are harder to find than others - like aqua, and chartreuse.
  3. I like the white-ribbon rainbos with a colored transparent base. They look nice in jar, and there's a good variety of colors too - some much harder to find than others.

    I'm leaning CAC.

    Welcom to the Marble Connection. I'd say it's a Vitro Conqueror type, but a number of companies made marbles that can look similar - a good look at the seam you don't show straight on, might help with a more positive ID.
  6. If there is a lot of "feathering" on the underside of those white ribbons (like someone dragged a fine fork through the underside of the white striping glass) on the inside of the marble, it might be CAC, but 3/4" would be a much less common size for CAC than Alley, and CAC didn't make anywhere near the numbers Alley made either, hence my hesitation to go there. Either way, the shape suggests it's probably dug.
  7. Oh yeah, I could see it - nice ride!

    I think it's an Alley, maybe CAC.

    I guess congratulations are in order - I'll bet she can pull out the swirls!

    I'll stick with Alley.
  11. You're batting 1000, Bill! I want a handful of corkscrews made out of that cullet left and center - got any?
  12. The white looks like batch glass, and based on size, my first guess would be Alley. It is a pretty one.

    I think Alley and Ravenswood.

    That's a nice marble. I'm digging the last view.

    The dark outline is great. I think it probably is Alley but it would be nice to see the ends of some those stripes.

    Some people have all the fun!
  17. I think Champion is a good call.
  18. I don't think it matters, Mibber. Historically, if a marble fit through a 3/4" hole but not an 11/16" hole, it's would be sold as a No. 2 (3/4"). The tolerances on size just aren't that tight when they're cranking them out.

    Pelt?

    😁 I'm starting a petition to swap the names of the Pelt John Deeres and Lemon Limes. Does anyone think that doesn't make sense?

    Pelt?

    I'll just try to remember that a Pelt Girl Scout is the exact opposite of a Marble King Girl Scout, or have that changed that name too . . .

    Pelt?

    I wish the names at least made some kind of sense - a yellow based John Deere - sheesh.
  22. I'm on a windows laptop, but I checked, and I see the same thing on my Samsung Android - weird. Okay - I see it now! Had to open the video in a new window - must be Firefox.
