Now you're just being mean, Bill.

Nice, Bill. The Heatons are cool - I like the hats. And what's better than a gumball machine full of mint Bananas!

If the base on the first is transparent, I'd say Vitro for sure. A look at the other seam might help make a positive ID easier too. As for the wild second one, I shouldn't even guess without seeing the other seam, so I won't. 🙂

If that red went all the way around the marble (encircling the yellow) you'd have a Superior.

It is structured like a Sparkler but most people would not call it one. As far as I know, Sparklers are have multiple colors.

If the last one is on a transparent base, I'd say it's a pretty cool Vitro (Conqueror style), but I can't really tell from the pics. The center does look Alley but it's also giving me a newer vibe. The first one does look like it could be Jabo, but Alley made swirls with those colors too, so I'd want to see another angle or two.

I'm thinking more Akro, maybe Master. There really aren't any vanes like a cat's eye. It's got the structure of a Sparkler, if only it had the color.

I'm seeing a Vitro.

I think you're into Marble Kings now. The first is newer (double patches), the middle is a pretty standard patch and ribbon style tri-color and the name of the third escapes me at the moment but it's essentially a Double Ribbon style (a Rainbow Red - I came up with it!) - if you compare it to the patch and ribbon (#2), I think you'll get my drift - it's older too. Nice sizes! Oh yea, and you certainly can find green AV on some MKs so it's possible.

Hey Tommy, If you look close, I think you'll notice that the Angels are NLR's with six ribbons. What you are showing are Rainbos - cool mibs, but not too uncommon.

It's a little hard to tell from just these pics, but the first one looks like it might be a Vitro, while the second looks foreign.

That is a cool looking marble, Edward! But I really don't know who made it. Champion made a lot of wire-pull types but this doesn't look like one of theirs, at least to me. I think this one might be German or Dutch.

Look for the eyelashes too, Tommy. They're most common on Akro, although Masters show the trait pretty regularly and you might find it much less frequently on other marbles too.

It's hard to tell given the lighting. It might be Master but it also looks like it might be foreign, at least to me.

They're all nice, Bill. I especially like that oddball Christmas Tree.

The strong lighting sort of confuses me, it's hard to see the seams, and the mibs look surreal. For ID purposes, it's best to see them the way they look in hand under more normal lighting. I think these are Vitro, mostly caged style.Although, I think folks may have slightly different definitions of "caged". Many of the cages style vanes are thinner. Some of these are more like vanes than the classic cage-style, but these do appear to separate at the axis, which is a must for a cage style.

I think most of those are newer Marble Kings - I am not aware of a Vitro called an Anti-Whitie.

Hello Edward, Welcome to The Marble Connection! You are correct that all are Cat's Eyes, except the big hand-made in the last photo. Many of the Cat's Eyes appear to be foreign, most likely from Asia. You might want to check some of the dark green ones in the first pic, out in the sun, for sparkling aventurine. Most of these are common, but as with most marbles, the more color the better, and it looks like you have some nicer ones in the last photo - I have always been fond of the ones with sky blue, white and dark red. The big one looks like an Onion Skin but I'll let someone else talk to you about that one - it's not really in my wheel house.my thing.

I am thinking the first is an Akro Tricolor and the second is an Akro too.

Man, there's some real eye candy showing up in this thread. The Pelt Heads are having a field day!

I really appreciate the thoughts. I had narrowed it down to Alley or Ravenswood too - I have just never seen a CAC with similar colors. The structure does look more Ravenswood than Alley to me, but when I think about who made the most blue-based marbles I have to lean toward Alley too. In fact, I am not sure I can think of a Ravenswood with a blue base similar to this one. Although, I sure would be interested to see some if anyone has any. Thanks Again!

There are still a few foreign marbles, likely Mexican or Asian in the group, but there are a lot more vintage marbles here. For the most part I see some Vitro Conquerors and other patch style marbles, the blue, yellow, orange and white patch and ribbon style is a Vitro Tiger Eye. There might be a few Marble King marbles too. The nicest marble is the big blue, white and yellow swirl - I'd probably put that in my collection. Of course, it's important to remember that just like with all collectible glass, condition is key - a $100 marble can turn into a $10 marble pretty quickly.

Welcome,These are all modern, maybe new, marbles. Many look Asian but there might be a couple from Mexico in the mix.

I am going to leave the particulars to the CAC aficionados. But I would say you grabbed some great marbles! The two upper right look like Blue Laces to me. Nice find!

I don't know about odd, but I have found these gray/silver colored Rainbos hard to come by. Which is why I kept the one on the left even though it's beat up.
