  1. It looks a little like a St. Mary's Alley but I think it might be a JABO Classic.
  2. There's a lot of color here, Joep - makes a nice display!
  3. This marbles is giving me a Heaton vibe . . .
  4. It looks like an Akro Moss Agate.
  5. It looks like a Peltier Rainbo to me.
  6. All I can say from these photos is that it looks more like a WVS than a slag and that it might be an Alley. As for the photos, I think you are a bit too close to the marble. It looks this way because the material behind the marble, which is farther away, is in focus but the marble and material in front of it is not. I recommend finding a tall glass or something similar that is about 8-10 inches taller than the marble to use as a "stand" for your phone/camera. Just set the phone on top of the "stand" with the lens off to the side and place the marble directly underneath it so it's in the middle of the frame. This way your camera will be steady when you take the photo. You may have to try a few different heights and light positions to get a nice clear photo but once you figure it out you can just keep doing it the same way and you will never have to worry about blurry photos again. 🙂
  7. It's a weak one but it's a Buttermilk, IMO.
  8. Looks like a nice marble but I'd need a few more views to attempt an ID.
  9. There look to be some good ones in there but the "Civil War Star" clay marbles first surfaced around 1995 or so, if I remember correctly. The story was that they were unearthed while preparing one of the venues for the Olympic Games in Atlanta or some such balderdash. Of course, they are fakes.
  10. The structure is odd but not out of the question for Vitro Anacortes and the colors look right too, so that's the direction I am leaning.
  11. @crashbelt Nice Onionskins - great holiday colors! @Chad G. That is a nice Onion, Chad, and that Maglite is really cool - I never would have expected that ghost core! I guess you really do have to "backlight them all", just like Art always says. 🙂
  12. It's a cool game, John. I love playing old-style pinball. It's at least a buck a game to play restored machines these days though, at least around here.
  13. I tend to agree, the other possibility might be a CAC American Agate but . . . ?
  14. I don't think it's a Blue Zebra but it does look a little blue where the white base thins out over the dark striping glass.
  15. The first and second look like they might be the same style marble - dark (blue?) translucent base with white striping? The third looks closer to a Zebra type - white base with black striping? Kinda hard to tell from the pics, though - maybe I'm seeing things. 🙂
  16. @akroorka That might be the coolest Multicolor Swirl I have ever seen - crazy man, it almost looks like a Michelangelo! Super bubbllcious Rainbo too!
