1-red handmade German slag with "chevron" pattern 2-blue handmade German slag with "chevron" pattern 3-mint green and jet black flame (similar to Alley pistachio, but more of a CAC pattern/glass quality) 4-a Mica marble with black core and blizzard of mica surrounding it (hey, you asked, lol) 5-Navarre with 9 and tail, tight twists Good question, got my gears turning

Cool. that would make the Sulphide pretty small then...

Nice group, the divided core is a 3-layer (3-stages) and looks pretty neat. Worth noting a 'standard' marble size is approx 5/8" and they don't get much smaller than 1/2". Largest usually tops out around 2" but there are some vintage handmades that were 2.5"+ and also some modern contemporaries that are much larger

Jten, that's gotta be a two-hander. Nice display

Now, that's what I'm talking about "Seems like all the kids today are collecting these new-fangled machine made marbles" lol

Yeah, that'll keep you sorting for a while. Looks like a good variety so you should be able to learn as you go. I didn't see the steelie with cross pictured but some of them were actually stamped (hollow) and ended up with a cross fold on top where the four points (for lack of better description) come together. Looked like some old German handmades in the mix as well, so hurray for that

Might have been a plan that didn't pan out? Interesting article nonetheless.

I'd go with Peltier, CAC, Peltier in that order. Nice pics and marbles. Slight chance of Alley on the second one.

Yeah, hard to tell from the pics. Don't recall seeing that many ribbons on a Popeye, looks more like a pelt from the first pic. Seeing in hand or other pics/angles would certainly help.

Ugh. Weird looking one for sure. I could see it as corkscrew colors, with a very messed up pattern but I believe this color combo (good ol' red& white) and hints from the pattern would lean more towards some type of older marble. Probably decades older than what you'd see from Vitro. What's the size? Are there any translucent parts or is it fully opaque? Goes without saying the huge chip detracts from the value (would be worthless to some people), but way I see it, there is always value in discussion.

Is $760 a "repurposed" value (ie: for marbles) or are there spool collectors out there that pay this much? Seems a bit on the high side to me but it would be interesting to have

Looks Vitro

Based on (what looks like) a long tail, I'd guess dog. But it could certainly be a wolf or fox or something else. There was a lot of variation with sulphide figures

Hard to say, but 5th pic down in original post made me think Pelt. Swirly, but Pelt.

Thanks for posting the link... A lot of times people will say "check out my auctions" , but no link.

Nice pics! Someday I hope to have the patience and gear to do something like that

Old pic, but here are some others I've come across over the years Added a few since, and continuously on the hunt so would love to see some more examples

I actually thought you posted a pic of my marble, they could be twins. This one is bigger than the rest, it's a shooter

Awesome marble, one of my favorite styles/types

Quite the back light set up! (sorry, don't have a guess on the marble)

Nice variety for the wild! (especially excited about the handmades) Is that an Indian to the left of the larger one?

From that angle looks like a nice CAC, from the other thread looks like it could be European in origin. , but out of all the marbles you had posted, that's probably the best one.

...with #4 looking especially nice

At a quick glance, the black+yellow striped one in the middle could be something special, the rest look like fairly common and/or newer.

Peltier, some of these came in boxes labeled as "Bloodies"
