I'm seeing a Peltier Peerless Patch.

I did a little poking around - check out the 2023 Vacor Fires. And I think there is a good chance of JABO for the second one now too.

I'd need to see a few more angles of each, especially any ribbon ends, before I would be confident enough to even venture a guess as to who made these, since a number of companies used white batch glass to produce similar swirls.

I have been trying to learn more about art glass marbles and I'm pretty sure I have seen this type before but I am having a hard time placing them even after seeing the signature. In situations like this, I always hope that @Alan will chime in - he's probably forgotten more about contemporary art glass marbles than I've ever know.

I was happy to find some of Tom Thornburgh's chinas at the Indy show . . .

I wonder if you are thinking about the "flip-flopping" of ribbon colors at the seams on Peltiers . . . ?

I'm with Art and JABO, for now. If the white fluoresces strongly, I might think differently.

This is a lot to digest in a single post. It appears to me that most are JABO Classics. You'll probably get a better response to your ID request if you start a new post for each group.

I'm thinking the first is modern and foreign - perhaps Vacor. The second looks like a Vitro to me.

@YasudaCollector Thanks for posting this - it is a very interesting topic. I took a liking to the old fire tree sulfide paperweights quite a few years ago. Here are a couple of highly faceted ones I just acquired. I really like the way that light and reflections play on the faceted surfaces. When you walk around and look at them there is a really neat sort of kaleidoscopic effect. 🙂

Nice, Melissa. I just saw a couple of Aguilla bags with Mosaicos. Honestly, I was surprised at the quality of the marbles. Some of them were every bit as nice as Masters, and some even better IMO. I am not mistaken these marbles were made before company moved and evolved into Vacor.

Nice score @VaMarbles but I am not seeing an Alley Carnival or a Ravenswood Green Raven, have I missed them somewhere?

These are going to be tough to definitively ID. Many companies made similar. I'd have to have them in hand to dare a guess, and even then I might not have much confidence who made them. Sorry I can't offer more.

It appears you have a range of ages from the 30s-50s (Vienna and Parkersburg locations), with the Tiger Eyes being the later ones (50s, maybe 60s). And I don't see anything in the group that I don't have examples of - nice marbles but nothing too uncommon, IMO.

A favorite Champion poly bag . . . The reason should be obvious . . . 🙂

A couple of big Vitro Hybrids - 7/8" and 27/32" . . . . . . a little chunk of green AV in the second one.

Yes, it is a WVS. Cairo marbles are not uncommon, although a busy pattern like this one would be less usual.

This is a swirl not a patch. Patches usually have two distinct seams on opposite sides of the marble and the color is found concentrated in one or more "patches" on the surface.

I'm getting a Cairo vibe but I am not certain. Let's see what others say . . .

Thanks for posting that one, Chuck - it confirmed an ID for me. Here's one of my (many) favorite Ravenswoods . . .

Just too be clear, "transitional corkscrews" is just a descriptor - there are no marbles called "transitional corkscrews". 🙂

Horizontal slags are hand-gathered with white spiraling around marble - sorta like transitional corkscrews. There are some really nice ones in this collection:

My favorite Champion . . .

Thanks, Melissa - I hope the same for you!

@Melissa Those are some of the most Vitro-looking Vacors I have seen - really nice marbles, Melissa - thanks for showing them!
