Might be a bit too strong of back lighting. What you're looking for is sort of an orange-ish glow.

They look like Akro Moss Agates to me.

The three on the right are Vitro Conquerors - without more views of the left one it would be too much of a guess for me.

Pretty tough to get a good look at it with all the surface wear. What size is it?

It looks Akro to me.

It's a Vitro - maybe an Opal. Does it show an opalescent glow with not too strong backlighting?

Those are great, Rick. I'd fish with them - they make me wish I would have saved the ones I tied when I was kid.

.That's a great collage, Chad - a nice group of classic Akros and excellent photos too!

Okay, now imagine taking six different colored balls . . . lol You might wind up with something like this 1-1/8" (minus the little nub) sextuple ingot - just so you know that things can get a bit more complicated. 🙂 The volume calculations work out near perfectly for this forming from 6 x 5/8" marbles, and you can actually count the globs too if you're careful.

Very nice! That second one is really sweet - springtime colors all over it.

Very cool, thanks for sharing the info.

Yes.

I agree about the pics - no more distracting reflections! In a double ingot, you will usually be able to see a continuous false "seam" all the way around the circumference of the marble - it's actually the interface between the two globs of glass (marbles) that came together to form it. Imagine how you could take two different colored balls of clay, push them together and round them into a larger ball - you should be able to follow that interface between the two colors all the way around that large ball. Also, if yours is a double ingot it would have been made from two considerably smaller marbles.

You might find this interesting . . .

That is a fake I would love to own!

I don't think the base color matters. The striping colors are spot on, IMO, and I'm sure they put the same designs on different base glass. - check out the guinea imitations on amber and clear, for instance. The bottom line is that I don't think it's a Pelt. But then I have never had a marble like it in hand and I have never seen a similar colored MCSs on an amber base so it might be wise to just ignore me. 🙂

I just want to clarify, Ron. Not all of the white Cairo used glowed, right? Didn't they use Pond's jars too?

Given recent developments, I do too.

It looks like an old Alley to me - maybe Sistersville.

3/4" Popeye's aren't all that uncommon - they look good to me too.

No kidding, a "jar with old marbles" instead of the usual "old jar with marbles". Nice find.

There are a number of different colorants that will fluoresce and, as I said earlier, what you see depends on the specific fluorophore, it's chemistry as interacts with other compounds, the wavelength and intensity of light you use to excite it, and how you perceive the visible wavelength of light it emits. And AFAIK not all of the glass that any particular company used fluoresces. I hope you have a strong background in chemistry and physics if you plan to go too far down into the fluorescence rabbit hole but, either way, I wish you well in your studies. 🙂

How about a Master "Snow Globe"?

I've got a Rainbo with a banana in it, does that count? lol

According to the site you should be able to get 5,000 of them for about $550 + S&H. Have you compared the colors on that first one to the marble you posted yesterday - they look pretty similar.
