    Germany made a lot of hand-ground Agate marbles around 1900's. Under a good light you may be able to see the grinding (faceting) marks.

    OK, I winced a bit hearing the clinks, lol please don't do that with the handmades, the striped opaque looks like a nice one.

    Bullet mold marbles? Unusual color, but if you're sure they're not plastic I'll take your word for it (should be pretty easy to tell in hand by feel)
  4. I'llhavethat1
    Yes, maybe a couple more pics would help
  5. I'llhavethat1
    If this is all the same marble, pretty interesting. Something going on there for sure. Nice mib
  6. I'llhavethat1
    see below

    Reverse twist is kind of neat too!

    for surface finish that rough, try putting it in a shallow bowl of water and take a pic. The interior detail will show up much better. Looks like it could be close to the example from the book that Steph posted, although if the base glass is blue (appears to be) that makes it a fairly uncommon marble.

    The unusual thing about these examples, is the pontil is on the opposite side of the pattern than expected. I'm still with Vintage transitional, and good eye for picking them
  10. I'llhavethat1
    Some nice Pelt patterns. Top two are super nice

    I'd agree! a lot of research and studying goes into (what eventually becomes) experience. Keep your eyes peeled, there are always questions being asked, good pictures and good people on this forum that can lend some assistance.
  12. I'llhavethat1
    They look an awful lot like Akro Corkscrews but I'll go with non-USA transitional.
  13. I'llhavethat1
    Very interesting! Thanks for the info.
  14. I'llhavethat1
    Came across these from a friend and I haven't seen too many of them around lately so thought I'd share. Anyone know what a complete set looks like?

    MFC?

    Definitely handgathered. If German, look for evidence of a ground/faceted pontil. Might be hard to see in that condition.

    Almost looks like a Pontil in the last pic (the way the pattern loops to it)
  17. I'llhavethat1
    The middle Vitro looks to have a neat pattern
  18. I'llhavethat1
    My first guess as well. Maybe a conquerer of some type?
  19. I'llhavethat1
    Appears to be another one straight above it. The brown/green to it's right is a color combo I've seen attributed to Ravenswood but could be Alley, hard to tell from the pics.
  20. I'llhavethat1
    I'm not up on my minerals but it does look like a polished stone to me. "Lupin" or something like that is what comes to mind
  21. I'llhavethat1
    The blue one looks like a German handmade Mica (probably around 100 years old), the other ones look like machinemade marbles, probably also European and maybe a bit newer than the blue one.
  22. I'llhavethat1
    real nice displays guys, jten those slags are sweet. I really like to see other peoples collections and how they're displayed, humbling actually
  23. I'llhavethat1
    Nice one, would have been my first guess since I have the same combo and think it falls in that category. "Canadian Mushroom". I really think there is something to the location these are found in tho'
  24. I'llhavethat1
    wow! It's gotta be an Akro though, right?

    Ideas

    Bottom left could be an Alley Coral, top right could be Pelt, other two I don't recognize
