A little different Superior . . .

Maybe not too helpful but it might give you an idea - this took a STRONG light!

I am leaning Akro over Master Made for this one but I would like some other opinions. One seam looks a little tight for Akro but the other doesn't look at all Master to me. Then there's the base glass, It totally reminds me of one of those translucent Akro "non-brick bricks", like a Mulberry Brick, with red or something. 😄

Here are some common Rainbow Reds - I like the way the ribbons are misplaced on the top middle one. 🙂

@Dave 13 I like the blue and brown one! @davesnothere I haven't seen one quite like that before, so thanks for showing it - nice color! @William Are you pulling a Ron - sneaking a Vitro in just to see who's paying attention, or am I seeing things? 🙂

Nice find!

It looks like a six-ribbon Peltier Rainbo.

Interesting marble, it looks mostly Asian to me.

It is certainly a trait on many Vacors, especially the larger ones, but you do see it on other mostly foreign-made marbles too.

Lots of nice color there, Joep!

I am not entirely sure if they would all qualify as Lilacs but I think they might.

I'd guess foreign, perhaps Vacor - and a wild one at that. It's just got that one big fold. My thinking is it was intended to look more like a "Fiesta-style" marble.

Some nice old transparent WV Swirls - tough to ID with certainty. I'd need to see more views of each before I might venture a guess. 🙂

I can see why one might think about Cosmic Rainbows but this looks like a quirky foreign Cat's Eye to me. The elongated bubbles and overall quality of the glass and colors rules out Vitro for me.

I've always been fond of white slags. Marbles just don't get much simpler than white striping glass in clear transparent . . .

It is Slags and Swirls Saturday . . .

These are a cool type of Vitro . . . All have a white patch and a red ribbon on clear transparent glass. In addition, there is just a touch of green, yellow or blue color up under the white patch on some of them. It really gives the illusion that they have colored transparent base glass. I think these are early ones from the Vienna location - perhaps, early Tri-Lites.

Some nice marbles posted this morning!

They may well be Champion game marbles. It's no surprise that even single color game marbles often exhibit traits associated with the particular company that made them.

@davesnothere Those are nice big ones! I don't think there is any real debate about who made these 1" marbles that Alox packaged. You can find similar 1" marbles in a bag with blue lettering rather than the the black lettering this one has. It's always tough to get a good image of the marbles inside of an old poly bag . . . big ones with good black filaments, like upper left in this bag, are harder to find, for sure.

@William It looks like a Corn Husk to me - pretty distinctive sorta like a "patch".

Nice marbles, Art, is that first one closer to a Melon Ball than a Clearie?

and that ain't nothing . . . I will say that if it was my marble, I'd keep it!

Yes, the term "slag" most often refers to simple marbles made with a transparent clear or colored base glass and white striping glass. Many companies made similar. Some have one or two distinct cut-off marks, or "seams", others like some Peltiers, have unique "feathering" patterns, etc. Some might be wholly hand -gathered and -rounded or transitional types, where they are hand-gatherd and machine-rounded, some old types are even cut from canes like old latticinos, and other hand-made German types.
