  1. I think the AV probably was intentional since all I've seen have AV and I've seen quite a few. But it's hard to know whether that it just bias on my part or not since I likely wouldn't pay any attention to one that didn't have AV - wouldn't be much of a marble without it, IMO.
  2. Yes, MK. It's hard to know whether the AV was entirely incidental or not - I have seen quite a few of them.
  3. Here are a few early ones from Joe Schlemmer (Mad Man Marbles, 2008). 13/16" - 1-3/8" I just "found" them in a drawer I haven't looked in for years. 🙂
  4. Give or take umpteen thousand, I think.
  5. Here are a few from 2003 . . . The red color is surprisingly bright.
  6. Good call, Melissa - the bubbles threw me.
  7. Good point - straight on shots of any seams are critical.
  8. It's unusual regardless of what it is but I am thinking Peltier or Vitro. A straight on shot of the seam in photo two might be helpful.
  9. I'll make it 3 for a Peltier Rainbo. There is no possibility this is a German striped transparent, IMO.
  10. That's a pretty blue color on a machine made anomaly, IMO.
  11. I agree with DInk - an Akro but not a Popeye Patch, IMO.
  12. The top and bottom one in the column of four might be Peltier. Most of the others are probably Akro. You're only showing two views of a few of them so it's harder than it might otherwise be to tell.
  13. Yup, to a Popeye Patch.
  14. It's got a bit of a crease in it, which is messing with the seams a bit but I'm leaning Akro - maybe one of the Hero varieties.
  15. I'd expect an additional color for a hybrid, Joe. I think that one is supposed to have a green top patch with 1/2 yellow and 1/2 orange equatorial ribbons - it's just messy.
  16. Totally understandable - Tiger Eyes tend to have a lot of variation and you've got a few oddballs, which really complicates things. Marble-making was certainly not a precision process. 😄
  17. If the base is opaque white, the center one may be a weak Baby Parrot (4 colors) and the right a weak Parakeet (3 colors) - both "weak" because of the amount of white showing.
  18. The left one is a Tiger Eye variant like that other odd one you posted - either a Type I or Type II depending on how you look at it. The right on is an Akro patch.
  19. If the base is opaque, the first is probably an All Red. The second looks like a messy type I Tiger Eye.
