It's a bit twisted and it has a deep fold in it so I'm having a hard time following the ribbons. It looks pretty much like a simple Rainbo but based on the colors it almost looks like a Marble King. Either way, it doesn't look like it was intended to.

@disco005 Nice ones, Jess. That Grinch-looking green one is unusual. @VaMarbles Nice Sparklers. What are those things you use for stands?
-
Looks like mostly Prizenames, a couple of Specials and an Onyx.
-
The 2nd-3rd shots are some of Joe St. Claire's paper weights.
-
I'll stick with a wannabe Tracer. I see quite a bit of evidence for it, and the base does get pinkish on some of the blue ones.
-
Sorta looks like it wanted to be a Tracer - I think that might be a Tracer base.
-
@VaMarbles I agree with Art, at that size with two seams it almost has to be Akro. Cool Marble.
-
@Carowill Wow, even weak examples are going for over $1500?
-
That explains it - it's pretty beat and it's not a very good example. In mint condition, I'd say you're looking at $1200-$1500 for that one.
-
It's an odd one - I'm thinking the ribbons are blue and that odd pinkish looking stuff is the base?
-
Reminds me of a Vacor Sunset.
-
I agree it looks more like a stone. What does it look like backlit?
-
It's an odd ball, for sure - I'm leaning Pelt over MK.
-
Alley or Heaton are my thoughts.
-
Pretty sure it's a JABO Classic.
-
It might be a wild Peltier but I don't think it's a Jewel. It would be helpful to see straight-on views of both seams. Did you take the photo in black and white?

Starting off this week's Slags and Swirls Saturday early with a wild one. I really like this marble a lot. It's a hand-gathered, single cut-off CAC with some crazy drizzle and a transparent red base. I'm guessing it's an atypical Bloodie variant - pretty nuts.
-
I agree with Vacor.
-
I think the one on the right looks like a real stone agate. The left one is giving me JABO vibes.
-
Marbles can look really cool backlit. I guess that's why they're often used in kaleidoscopes.
-
Note: The "windshield" has to replace an equatorial ribbon and not a polar patch for a Peltier to be called a Windshield - transparent polar patches are a lot easier to find.

Fiction: I'm pretty sure these marbles were made before 1958 when the Ford Galaxie was first produced.
