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.
-
It looks like a spun JABO classic with that bubblegum-colored Fenton glass. Does it glow?
-
You may have a few types here. It's hard to tell. We'll likely need more than one view of each marble and it's hard to tell which marbles are which here. Try a few different views of no more than two marbles per post and it will make things a lot easier. This is too much like work for me. 🙂
-
Vitro might have called this one a Dulite. I would expect a more opaque patch on a Conqueror.
-
What size is it?
-
I agree with JABO Classic.
-
@VaMarbles That's a good marble. Here's another . . .
-
I totally agree. And the search function rules. If you can't find a topic of interest here it's probably not worth knowing about. 🙂

@Alan Good post, Alan. It really is important to keep things in perspective. The guys that were making these marbles in the 1930s were probably earning around $2.00 a day. And I'll bet they never could have imagined that one day, one of the 10,000 marbles they made on a given day might sell for a full year of their salary.

This is very cool, Jess. And you know what's crazy? I just saw this about 2 days ago - I kid you not! I love perusing old threads too. 😄
-
Just shy of 3/4" . . .
-
A couple of Chalky Conquerors - the left one has a pretty big blowout for a Vitro.

Veiligglas VS Hopf - information about Wirepulls
Ric replied to TheVacorFan's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Another Veiligglas - a little smaller at 11/16".
-
I really have no idea about the UV - first time I've ever noticed it.
-
Here are a few more . . .
-
Face Book, I assume.
-
Tommy, does yours look sort of purple/pink in hand? What size is it?
-
It's one of the strangest marbles I've seen. Here it is back lit (thanks to @disco005) and under UV.
-
Are annealing fractures common on the Novas?
-
It's a pretty - definitely different than the other Novas I've seen. If all I saw was the second shot, I would have guessed Akro. You're going to need a Pelt head to confirm that one.
-
Of course . . . the one thing I didn't try. 😄 And yes, it is translucent - there appears to be very light wispy white inside. Those are cool ones, Jess, that's a nice size too!
-
Well that's a cool find. I have a feeling many of the ones you think are Masters may actually be from Argentina. Check this out . . .
-
Has anyone else ever tried to photograph a Pink Champagne? Good golly, probably the hardest marble I've ever tried to photograph. This is the best I could do . . . 31/32"
-
I'm feeling Akro for this one too.
