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".

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

Im sure there's some value in those items. A well advertised auction will likely get the most attention (post a link if you decide to go that route). Checking completed auction prices is a good reference (ebay, Blocks, Murphys, etc.) The two yellow/green examples id speculate as unfinished (before being ground to shape) but someone with more experience on these can chime in.

Nice bright colors!

Looks handgathered on my screen, I'd day foreign to USA.

Doesn't look like a slag or transitional to me. Probably a machine made that got some wonky cold rolls (on the rollers) resulting in the pattern.

Might look different in hand but from the pics it appears more like a WV swirl than a Pelt? Is there any Aventurine in the ribbons?

Oh, thats the stuff...nice!

Nice hand gathered slag, red is a tougher color to find in that size.

Mix of (mostly) American machine made marbles. Probably 1950's +/- 20years. A few Vitro, looks like at least one Akro corkscrew and a Peltier marble. They are on rhe more common side of things, made suring the heyday of USA marble production when they were being cranked out of rhe machines by the box car load. Hope this helps and Welcome to the site!

CAC to me

Not the best pics but I think I see what you're thinking with that marble.

I've also seen them referred to as "Clouds", "Balloons" and less arguably "First-of-cane". "Single Pontil" is another. Lol, those Peltier name haters must get a kick out of old onionskins.

Missed this one earlier. If nobody mentioned it yet, looks like what some people would call "End-of-cane" if it only has the one pontil. Can't quite tell from the pics but the pattern leans me that way. If so it's a bit different than your average onionskin.

3/4"+ fat solid core.

Top= Latticino swirl, bottom = Clambroth. Both handmade in Germany 100+ years ago

What is your friends question?

Pretty sure this is Foreign (to the USA) I've found similar in batches from UK, Canada etc.

thanks for clarifying. I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen one like that, so large. Unusual for sure.

Do you have a picture of the smaller "coreless" type swirl you're looking for a 2"-er of? That will help me visualize.. as the term could mean different things to different people

I could see Vitro as a possibility What's the size?

Does it taste like candy? Might be a gobstopper or sucker or something.

I see what appears to be a handgathered pattern and what could be a termination point...so I'm in definite agreement with what Rics saying
