Pretty ... but I have no advice about dots. I have mostly gotten used to them now. Except the ones that my flash causes, because my camera's ring of tiny dots looks like damage.

Now if that's not a pontil but a chip, we reset the conversation. To me the dark dots in the middle of the green frit seem out of place but guineas are above my sophistication level.

Chad is correct. Having a pontil would rule out CAC guinea.

If made that way, then it would be a modern marble, such as a Vacor. However, marbles which have spent time in an aquarium are known to get that look.

I think that the very bottom one in this photo is Master. And that the bottom one on the right side is Vitro. Maybe Akro with the red and yellow. Could see the brown ribbon going Vitro or Akro. Would want to see more views on the top two red and white (and clear) marbles on that left diagonal.

Well, there's one marble in there with a green patch which could turn out to be Vitro. The red and white on the top center in the first picture (which goes to the bottom in later pictures) ... does that one have a matte finish? I'd say besides the green one, most or all would be WV swirls but that's as much as I can do for you.

Not seeing the image. I checked out the source code and I think we might need your mail permissions to see it.

That dark amber base could be the key. But I don't know what it is. Wondering if Alley is anywhere in the mix. But the only thing I know for sure with such a base is still Pelt. So ?

I agree Akro cork on the purple. The football is a puzzler. I want it to be something like Alley, and I actually do have some Alley cullet but I got it specially from a friend. So with the quality control that the older makers had for their for-sale marbles, I'm not sure how likely it is for a football to be vintage. For that reason I'm leaning modern unless you think it's likely you have cullet.

I just got a whole new room in my house. We had a housemate living in the attic and now he has moved out. So if I can't organize my marbles now and set up some displays, then I am a lost cause. .... but will have to get back with you.

Yeah, I couldn't see the one in the OP. But the new images, yes .... swirly

The white base with the purple stripes could be my new favorite. The transparent red is Imperial? I think I have one of those. I didn't guess Imperial.

Beautiful. I have some of those soft pastels with the clear area. If I'd known how hard they would be to find again, I would have saved more.

nice patterns

Yikes. Messed up Akro does seem a possibility. But with an transparent brown/amber base, maybe messed up Pelt would be another option? Might need a diagram to figure out how many ribbons there are and how they are connected to any seams/cutlines.

I have some contemporary stoneware marbles made by Klayton Huff which bear some resemblance but they not are not a match.

Yes, doing well. You? Those are amazing looking marbles.

Reached for my Baumann to see if that would have any help ... but it's not where I was expecting it to be with the rest of my marble books. Off to search for it ......

Hi Mike. Long time.

I got some unusual ones once that a guy had selling at what seemed to me to be a low price on facebook. Thought it would be whipped right up but they weren't. So I tried to talk them up for the seller. And then I said to heck with it, I'll take them. I was on a pretty tight budget at that time but some of them I was sure would sell individually for what I got the whole lot for. (About $20, if I recall correctly.) The three copperheads are what really tickled my fancy. But I had once paid $12 for a single black widow and this lot had four of them. And I think that's called a Robin on the bottom left of the second picture. And there some other good ones.

You're welcome.

Hi. Welcome. Yes, Peltier rainbo. As far as I know it's not a named one. Made from the late 30's to maybe the 60's. That's the most I know to say about it.

Does it have a teeny nub on the bottom?

Yeah, some nice ones here. On top left, Pelt Multicolor Rainbo. Next one is also Pelt. Maybe Pelt all the way across the top. Not sure if #4 is a seamed marble or a swirl though. Bottom right is another Pelt. I think some would call it a Tootsie Roll. The two on the bottom left are Akro Popeyes. Then I think I'm seeing a Milky Oxblood on the bottom middle. Which I think would typically automatically be considered Akro. Some might consider Alley possibilities for it though.
