Some German "Slags". Thought I posted this pic earlier but couldn't find it.

The one with the clear window is especially unlike I've seen. Are these vintage?

So if: "... in 1873 he perfected his globe-stoppered bottle. " that would be pretty early in the grand scheme of making marbles (or glass globes). Interesting links, thanks

Nice pattern

Just curious which company had the machines to fulfill that capacity/demand at the time? Any thoughts? US?

Yowza, how about a group pic of the glass handmades when you get a chance?

Some nice looking mibs in this lot, missed it earlier. Clean looking handmade

#1 = Nice CAC (too bad about condition) #2 = Nice Alley Agate with Aventurine

Nice clear slag, those are usually the hardest to pic (for me anyhow). Hoping all the best for your situation

Kinda looks like Pelt feathering, but probably Akro. Nice size

Left ones (both pics) stand out

Don't look like pelts and agree on foreign, any pics of the board? Sounds interesting

Nice pic

From my experience, it it's submerged in water (aquarium, etc) the finish can look this way over time. But it could also be play wear. Imagine a few generations of kids running around with a bag/pocketful of marbles, and them all knocking together. Some of the old German handmades got absolutely matte finishes from play wear. Vintage marbles wouldn't have left the factory this way, although some modern companies made them intentionally

What's the size? No Pelts from what I see. Alley (possibility of CAC) on first, 2nd is maybe Alley? Looks a bit newer

Nice examples of some clear based Peltiers, but to go beyond that, I kinda agree with Ron.

...or, put them on eBay! That works too. I think you'll do fine with that listing

I'm digging it. I look at marbles as pieces of art too. Hope she does well.

Awful lot of swirling action, any chance it's not Pelt, but Alley instead? I'd need to have some clearer pics. Of course the top left view is convincing as Pelt, but the rest is kinda hard to tell.

No worries! We're in this together having a marbelous time:)

Another conundrum. Size? What type of light are you using?

Size? If less that 7/8" (I'm thinking it is) and the wear on the glass I'd guess CAC or Alley. I don't see anything close to Akro. Please note the size for ID purposes as it can help narrow things down in a jiffy

There are a couple nice Pelts, and some nice Akros. If unsure on specific types or grading, maybe consider selling on this board or consigning the group to someone, either to sell in multiples or individually.

See? some of those cleaned up nice! That handmade is beat to crap though. As far as the names go there's just too many to go through and even then there might be some disagreement.
