    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.

    Patch?

    Ric replied to Sortitallout's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    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:

    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!

    @cheese That's a great example, Chuck - gotta keep an eye on those game marbles! 😄

    That's a great bag, Art. I'm surprised the color and printing held up as well as it did and I'd be even more surprised to see another like it. Very cool!

    One of my best finds from 2024 . . .

    A couple of my favorite Sistersville Alleys . . .

    Has anyone seen the PB types in Master or Akro packaging, or any paperwork indicating that Akro or Master sold marbles to Ravenswood? FWIW, I am convinced that the only PBs Ravenswood actually packaged were in mesh bags and that mesh bags with the "Akro note" attached and all the poly bags were packaged well after they closed.

    The first photo has a few Vitros and a HG slag, as Art said, but it's hard to be sure about many of them from a single view. The second are simply black game marbles - almost every company made them and it's often difficult to tell one from another. They have minimal value to collectors.

    Thoughts?

    Ric replied to Melissa's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    That's a wild one. I have seen one before somewhere but I just don't remember where/what. Reminds me a bit of a striped transparent.

    I'm not really getting Pelt or Vitro vibes - I wonder about MK.

    Getting nowhere

    Ric replied to Hyper's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    It might be an Alley - monetary value is probably minimal.
  20. Ric
    I think the first is likely a hand-gathered Japanese marble - the second may be Akro.
  21. Ric
    I Agree with the others on #2 & #3 and I think #1 is a Master.
  22. Ric
    It's a Vitro, a bit of UV-reactive glass is not so uncommon in Conqueror types.
  23. Ric
    I don't think it's a Peltier. It looks like an Alley Agate to me.
  24. Ric
    I've seen the broom holders and similar sorts of towel holders but I have never seen one that uses a China marble.

    I'm with the MK crowd - Pelt Honey Bees have a transparent amber base - the "honey".
