That's a crazy one. I can't really figure it out - pinched seams and a deep fold. It looks like it might be a dug Peltier to me.

I'd call it a Conqueror variant.

@Alan I love it when you show the art glass from your collection. You have impeccable taste and your examples are stunning. Thank you very much for sharing them!

@Alan Are those green air trap faces Mathews marbles?

I agree with Vacor - maybe Neptunes.

Wholly machine-made marbles are cut from a stream of molten glass by a shearing mechanism (shears). Each marble has two seams or cut-offs (shear marks), You will find the cut-offs on Popeyes and other spirals on the top and bottom of the spiral.

I think it's a Vacor - Mexican.

Yes, it's a vintage Vitro Bull's Eye.

Those are Akro Popeye's - I prefer to think of their shear marks as cut-offs.

Good "R"s are hard to find . . .

Cowabunga dude, that's funny cool!

Not a Clown.

The arrow is not part of the marble, if that's what you're asking. The little indented lines are caused by cold glass that doesn't get rolled smooth.

I'm leaning slightly toward Master but it's a tough call, at least for me.

I think the second one is Master - the others are Akro, IMO.

3", Wow. The amount of work in it is very obvious - it's so cool!

I think that's glass. I also think they could use a bubble bath. 🙂

@Alan That is an awesome marble. Is it Besett & Leslie? It's such a cool technique. What size is it?

These are not marbles I am familiar with but they do not look like American marbles to me - maybe Vacor (Mexican), and I now wonder if the glass is intentionally frosted.

A few Mountaineers . . .

I am not sure about the marble - it may be Asian. But the glass looks like it has spent time submerged in an aquarium or something. It looks like "beach glass" but given that you found similar ones together, that seems less likely.

I'd call it a brown earthenware (clay) marble, AKA a "Commie" because they were so common. Clay marbles are cool but the vast majority of them have little if any value to collectors. Many different companies made huge numbers of them and I don't know that anyone has ever figured out how to sort them. Although, I myself have had quite a bit of fun trying. You can also find them dyed a variety of single colors, or even mottled with several colors. A nice collection of them displays well in a wooden bowl or something. I actually like them quite a bit, but then I learned to embrace my weirdness long ago. 🙂

I think that would be a divided core swirl.

As I recall, these 32-sided glass dies were some sort of a "fortune-telling" instrument.

@Alan Can you please check my thinking here . . . What we are talking about are marbles with a divided ribbon core. I have seen such where typical thin ribbons are about equally wide and they come together edge-to-edge in a way that gives the illusion of a solid core (but it's really hollow). I have also seen some where two of the thin opposing ribbons are wide and another set of thin opposing ribbons are narrow, and they come together in a way that gives the illusion of a single wide fat ribbon (which is also hollow). I think the latter is what they are talking about here. Does that sound right to you?
