These came together...I don't really collect machine made marbles but don't recall seeing these before. Some type of tri-lite maybe? Any help appreciated

Been a bit of a dry spell for me so was pleased to get these in a group. Check out the chunk of debris in that catseye!

Surprised nobody else has chimed in. If it's vintage (which it's looking that way to me from the pics) it's one heck of a marble. Meaning you'd literally see dozens of 2"+ handmades (which arent that common to begin with) before you'd come across an example like this. If you've got a marble show or reputable collector in your area I'd encourage someone to take closer look "in hand", to evaluate.

The size tho. Interesting. Unopened box of what?

Agreed. The internal pattern starts getting removed and somewhat defeats the purpose. If it's just frosty surface damage, polishing will allow you to view/enjoy the internal patterns. Probably not cost effective for these examples

Rainbo

Nice symmetry, they look kinda neat with hardly any twist

I did some months ago, similar results. Air rifle to relieve pressure, then axe to bust open cans. Still got paint splatter everywhere.

Stellar example

Might have better luck in separate posts or numbering but the red and yellow on black(?) Looks interesting

Also worth mentioning (again) is value is subjective. I traded some machine mades I didn't collect for some handmades I do collect. Were the mahine mades more "rare"? Maybe? But being a type I didn't collect, it didn't really matter to me much at all.

I gotta say, if those marbles are the ones he's willing to trade they are some nice examples.

9.4cm, right? Cool piece. How everything is attached together could lend some clues. Curious about wear on bottom of wood too. Could have been a paperweight added to the wood after the fact.

Not even going to ask what a Halloween is

Not sure if we're all looking at the same marble here? To me looks like a Pelt Tiger with aventurine and unpolished surface?

^^yes, my first thought also. Prima is another possibility. Akro distant 3rd.

Asking a group for an opinion and, no surprise, a variety of answers. Even with both marbles in hand it would still be subjective.

How big are the larger ones? Looks like some common Peltier Rainbo combos but if the are larger than standard 5/8" that might be more appealing to some collectors

any pics of the rest?

Tommy pretty sure your green hand gathered slag is US origin and not German. Nice marble tho

Neato

Cool, thanks for sharing...haven't seen this before

There are a couple interesting ones in the group. I see at least 3 worth another look

Nice pattern on some of those green transitional. Every so often they rival "American quality" speaking of which your group reminds me of most non-american mid-century groups. Similar construction techniques but missing the pop and complex patterns getting cranked out of the US marble factories. Cool group

Beauty of a day to get out for some fresh air with ze Germans
