It looks like an American slag.

Found Jar of buried Marbles(800+), Jackson County WV

LOL ... no worries ... it happens. That's why I recognized it. -
My first thought was Master, which makes all the Akro and Vitro talk very intriguing to me!

Steph replied to ShaneMac304's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I'm wondering if some of the egg shapes we are seeing in the picture are a camera illusion. I would get egg shapes on the edges of pictures when using the macro lens on my last camera. You have them in hand and you say some are out of round ... but I'm wondering if maybe not as much as they look in the pictures. Just a thought. -
Thanks! I wasn't at all sure when Jabo started making larger marbles. All I knew was it was sometime in the 1990's.

Shane, if possible, I'd encourage you to take Ron (wvrons) up on that offer. He's the best! -
Ron, what year did Jabo start making 1 inchers? Almost but not quite a 30 years ago? If this is older than that, does the size make it an Alley?

Hi. Welcome. You do seem to have a nice vintage mix.
-
My first impression is "not very old".

Steve is active on Facebook. He has a group over there called Good Old Marbles. That would be a good place to hook up with Edna, too. She's a moderator in that group.

Mike died a year-and-a-half ago.

The closest name my fuzzy brain is coming up with is Poison Bee or Mandarin Bee. I have a marble I swear is a Rainbo but those are the names that other people wanted to call it.

A nice decoration for the vaseline glass corner of your marble room!

I've spent these years thinking it was you but I can't swear to it.

I'll gladly buy back the Red Angel you bought from me.

Rick!

Fun to see that you found some American-made marbles in the wild over there.
-
That shows the problem with posting so many marbles in one thread. Very hard to keep them straight when trying to help ID. Get dizzy going back and forth.
-
Gotta be one of the cooler logo marbles I've ever seen. But I don't know the story either. Common ones with cartoon characters like Snoopy or brands like John Deere, those aren't a mystery. They're popular. People overseas crank them out. But this one ?????
-
The small flat ones are called "gems" over here. Made that way on purpose. You can buy them for decoration. I'm not familiar with the larger ones. I don't know if they were made like that on purpose or not. Yes, I do like them.

What a beauty. Congrats on ferreting out the background.
