  1. Not much to go on with this marble - it's a nondescript WV swirl.

    Champion?

    When I looked at it this morning, my first thought was, "Is this perhaps one of the nicest Roosters I have ever seen?" I don't think it's a JABO. 🙂
  3. Nice find, Joep - complete to, if I counted right. Now you can look for dividers. 🙂
  4. I think they used "onyx" to refer to a particular type of glass also, since I have seen dish sets labeled "Onyx".
  5. Might be a JABO Classic.
  6. I think it might be from a JABO contract run - I've seen some that form pretty nice Jorkscrews.

    7/8 Slag

    I think Leighton had factories in Navarre, Barberton, Steubenville, and Shadyside.
  8. I wonder about foreign possibilities.
  9. Conqueror variants if they are veneered - otherwise, just patches, I guess. I don't know of any particular name for them.
  10. All nice finds, Fire. If the Vitros are veneered I would say Conqueror variants. If not, just patches, I guess. I don't know of any particular name for them.
  11. They're good marbles - a couple of Indians and a Gooseberry, I think. What do the Indians look like back-lit?
  12. Just FYI, Akro may have used the term "onyx" to describe a few different marbles but most collectors use Onyx to refer to marbles that have a white spiral in colored base glass, since that is what Akro called them in their Salesman cases and literature.

    Champion?

    The orange one looks like a Champ but I'd like to see a couple of more views of the red one. It's a nice looking marble - sorta slaggy, doesn't really give me a Champion vibe.
  14. It looks like an Egg Yolk Oxblood to me.
  15. @I'llhavethat1 Thanks, even better, that pink one is really pretty.
  16. I agree they look vintage. The red one you singled out is interesting. I think some people would call it a cased clambroth, but I don't think that is a technically correct. As for "end-of-day", I find the term mostly confounding and not very useful since it is poorly defined, as far as I can tell. As mentioned above, I think most people define end-of-day Onion Skins are those with splotchy colors that do not form pole-to-pole filaments. I think the general idea is that, at the end of the day, workers would roll up stray bits of frit from their work area onto a remaining cane and make a marble out of it. In its original iteration, I think it was used only to describe single pontil marbles but then those may have became "end-of-canes". This occurred at about the same time that my head exploded.
  17. I think you thought right - nice marbles! What size are they? I didn't think Mists had such structured ribbons. It's a really cool marble, regardless of what you call it, and it's far from common, IMO.
  18. It's kind of a crazy to find such a large horde of unpackaged foreign marbles - thanks for showing them!
  19. I'd say the 1st is Alley and 3rd-4th are Ravenswood. The 2nd may be Alley too. This is assuming they are all around 5/8".
  20. it's not a Peltier BM, IMO, and if there is a Marble King called a Bloody Mary, I am not familiar with it, so I can't help with that.
  21. Looks like a Rainbo with two seams to me.
