A few more, since I'm already here . . . 🙂
-
I'm happy to say I've gotten through most of my old "discard" buckets and set aside most of the clean marbles that are worth having. You'd probably be surprised by how many white based Akro Corkscrews and patches I pulled out. 😄 What remains will probably wind up in landscaping.
-
A MCS with clear base glass for Peltier Tuesday . . .
-
I'm not sure what the point of the graphic is, Boris. Are you suggesting that the OP is a Type II where the patches and equatorial ribbons are reversed? In other words, it should be a marble with green and blue polar patches and two yellow equatorial ribbons? If so, I'd expect it to be quite a bit sloppier - the colors don't look right for Vitro to me either.
-
Interesting, Joe, a little cryptic though. I'm guessing you are processing applicants for adult daycare jobs or you are becoming an adult caregiver yourself? Regardless, I wish you much success in your new gig!
-
Hey Joe! What's shakin'?
-
That'll work, Steph - thanks again!
-
I appreciate the input, Steph. I've never seen one quite so cruddy. Can you tell me why you believe these are pre-1939?
-
Just a few older Vitros . . .
-
I think the fun your grandson could have making up games and playing with them is probably worth at least as much as the marbles. 🙂
-
Wecome to the Marble Connection! Most of these are Cat's Eyes. A couple of the large ones look like they might be Vitro's cage style.The red on white one in the first photo may be an Akro corkscrew but it's hard to tell from a single view.
-
Thanks Chuck, have you ever seen a Kokomo cross-through or a Pelt cross-through with these colors? I sure would like to see some other examples so if anyone out there has some, please post them!
-
I'd guess and Akro patch on the left, and perhaps a foreign marbles middle and right.
-
I'd say an Akro Moss Agate on the left (probably glows like nuts under UV). I'm not too sure about the others.
-
I agree with Melissa, a couple of Rainbos and a Vacor.
-
I'd guess the first two are JABO Classics, and the the third may be JABO too.
-
I'm glad you like them, Tommy. These were in the group of loose marbles that I purchased with the box. There were a bunch of nice Masters in the collection.

Welcome to the Marble Connection! This is a lot to digest in a single post. It looks like mostly common vintage marbles - lot's of Peltier Rainbos, Vitros, WV Swirls, etc. On first pass, nothing jumps out at me as particularly valuable. And condition is very important to determining value so I wouldn't dare a guess from these photos.
-
That'll be great - thanks! Here are a few I have posted in the past. pinch pontil . . . crease pontil . . .
-
Hey Dave - better late than never, I guess. I was just wondering if yours glows . . . If you can't lay hands on it two and a half years later I'll understand. 😄
-
Thanks, Rick. I don't think I've seen a Kokomo "cross-through" before so I'm not quite sure what to think about this marble. It seems to fit Kokomo better than Pelt though. The Pelt cross-throughs I have seen are way more refined.
-
Cool, thanks for showing these. Do the cut-offs on the opaque marbles look like they usually do on the transparent ones? A photo showing the cutoffs would be very helpful. 🙂
-
It's really hard to make out any detail in the photos. The first looks like it might be a Master but I have no idea about the second.
-
Believe it or not, the surface on this marble is near "as made". The inside is full of furnace debris and not so many bubbles. The red looks right and it's oogly enough that I think it might be Kokomo. Any thoughts?
-
I think they are all JABO, except the third, which I think is Vacor, and the fourth. which may be Vacor too but might be Asian.
