I sent your link to my ceramic marble specialist. His report: "The marble is genuine, for sure. Nice find."

Yours looks pretty good to me. I'm not the expert though. Here's an album of small chinas. Best Small Chinas - Marble Connection

Handgathered slags with gorgeous patterns.

Yes! Structure and flaky green mica/aventurine say Jabo.

That is a pretty cool group of clays. Nice to have such a range of sizes. They would be about 90 to 150 years old. Same age range on the Benningtons which make up most of the second photo. Those are some nice old glass marbles in the third photo, mostly from the 1930's. The last two pics are mostly more common marbles, but I'm intrigued by the large marble in the second-to-last photo. I see that Ric has answered while I've been typing my post, but I'll go ahead and hit enter on this post without comparing it to what he wrote.

I'll try to be more specific. I'm thinking of two different categories. There were some dug marbles which diggers were calling bricks even though they weren't oxblood. They came in different shades, including peach. I don't know if yours were among the shades which were being called bricks. And then there was the marble which Akro officially named Cornelian. Your left marble is pretty close in shade to this scan of a very old photo.

Well, there were some non-bricks which were called bricks of different flavors. And then there were Cornelians.

The glass looks old to me. I'm hoping for Pelt Rainbo. I hope you find a fourth ribbon.

It's cool, isn't it. I do not know who has it. The photo came from an ebay auction.

Looks like a good one to me.

Since #2 does not have the typical Pelt flip-flop but does have a Rainbo-like look, this is where I might start to wonder about Kokomo.

Alley's a good bet.

I'll say yes to "transparent swirl," not slag. But that's as far as I can go.

Marble King on top. Girl Scout. Pelt on bottom.

#2 is a Peltier Rainbo

Not sure about whether it's a double ingot or not. As to age, the textures and the two colors of ribbons are making me think newer. But I wasn't able to recognize a possible style name when I looked at the billes-in-tete site, so I don't know.

Hmmm ... more views might help. I'm having trouble making out the structure. This might be a double ingot. Do you know what that is? It's where the glass for two marbles got fused together to make one big one.

#1 Japanese transitional #2 European Striped Transparent #3 Maybe Japanese transitional, but I'm wondering if it might be a Christensen American Agate #4 ???

Maybe vitro on the first two?

The bottom views are saying "transitional".

Agreed

Transitional

Ricardo Mendoza over on facebook reminded me of a category that we haven't talked much about. His childhood collection of Vacors (from 60's and 70's) has a whole lot of very colorful Sunbursty looking marbles in transparent matrix.

We may have to wait a few more weeks to see what it is. I think it's still growing.

With the look of that pontil, I think it's purely handmade. Not transitional.
