Mornin'

I just edited my post bigtime ... because apparently I can't tell left from right from middle. Glad everyone was polite and didn't tell me how much my directions sucked and how little sense it all made.

Wild is sweet. This one is wicked cool.

So, at a minimum William's marble is a Tri-Lite. What else it may be, I do not know.

Elites and Superiors are both examples of Tri-Lites. Superiors need two red ribbons surrounding the yellow patch. The Brandstetters came up with that name. All I remember about the Elites is that they were colorful. I didn't know which if any colors were needed. @tankgrrl29 came up with that name. Both are discussed in this article, the Superiors in a more specific way. Older Vitro Marbles (Tri-Lites) (marbleconnection.com) Superior photo from the article:

Hi. Welcome. The brown stripe makes those look like they could be Vitros. I usually expect a second brown stripe to complete the Vitro picture, and I think I see a hint of a second brown stripe on the marble the middle. But definitely on on the marble on the right. The marble on the left did initially look like an Akro to me until I saw that distinctive brown stripe. I'm not sure what to make of the patterns here.

Akro Onyx The only collector name which is coming to mind is "auger" but I don't know if it would a qualify.

Here's a picture that Al shared from Craig from 2006.

The bride broke her tooth on it! Wasn't funny at all!

With white ribbons on tinted base, I'm going Pelt.

I think Pelt.

I've heard of that before. Get lifting.

Vitro at the end. I'll guess Champion for first and Alley for second.

Vitro Trilite second. Akro Onyx third.

Pretty

Nice!

(btw, I actually did tear a couch apart to find a marble once)

The colors on top make me think of Veiligglas.

Okay ... I _think_ it's a figure 8. That was my first impression. But the ribbons aren't very angled, are they. I suppose it could be a Pelt. In this case, one might consider other clues. What other marbles were found with it?

Figure 8 Figure 8s are cool! Less common than Pelts.

beautiful

(They're pretty great though.)

I'm not at all sure about these:
