White patch on either pole and translucent red around the equator
-
Pretty sure this is one of those foreign 'mushroom' types
-
Is that a transparent green base?
-
Welcome, have fun sorting! -
Without seeing more detail, looks like early American to me. MFC or maybe Navarre.
-
Most likely CAC from the pics.
-
It's a Foreign transitional with sloppy cut off and cold rolls. Quality control wasn't as tight back then, especially in other parts of the world
-
Here's a couple more in this group for reference
-
Yes, came in various shades of red similar to the Foreign transitional. This is a vibrant example.
-
Pretty sure this is more of a Foreign "figure 8" marble and not Peltier Rainbo.
-
OP is a machine made with spin pattern imparted by the rollers of the marble machine. This pattern can occur in just about any machine made marble from any manufacturer. If it was Peltier (I don't think it is) id expect the white to be more solid/opaque and less whispy.

^agreed

Fairly hard to come by in the grand scheme of things. Especially in decent shape since they're so darn old and the glass quality (and overall technology from that era) was sometimes questionable. Opaque yellow was one of the colors used, some collectors refer to it as egg yolk yellow. What's the size? most of them were a little over 3/4".

Does anyone know if these items are valuable?

Welcome to the site by the way! Can you share any info you have on the items: did they all come together, etc. -
Greiner hand gathered, Germany, approx 1850s. Nice example
