I'll go Alley on #1. Peltier on #3 and 4. That might be a "tracer" on #4. Not sure at all on #2. Maybe Marble King or Vitro.

#1 is handgathered. I'm not sure whether American or not. The colors of #2 looked Peltier to me but I'm not sure if I'm seeing Pelt structure. If not Peltier, then the solidness of the colors makes me think of Christensen. #3 looks vintage, but who? #4 might be modern.

There are (or at least were) sniping programs where you could get the program to put in a last second bid to give you your best chance of not being outbid and not having to show your hand too early.

Pelt on the last. I also might have guessed Pelt on the first but then I also wouldn't have been surprised if someone said MK or Vitro. I'm not familiar with that pattern in either maker -- as in I don't know what a name for the style would be with either maker -- but it's not the first time I've seen such a marble ID-ed as one or the other by people who know their stuff.

Okay, now I have marked out "Ravenswood?" and added "Champion?" on the box where I've been storing them for the past ten years.

Yes. Looks like a lot of Pelt Rainbos.

yes, that looks Alley also

Maybe Alley Supermen on the outside.

That was one of my leading candidates. If Champion, I'm curious about what decade.

I've been meaning to ask about these for about ten years now. I'm hopeful that they're from the same maker, but who? I am not committed to them being as old as the box that they came in. The white is not quite white and much of it glows under blacklight. The yellowish marble glows the most. The black with the thin white ribbon is opaque. Three of the other dark(ish) marbles are translucent -- their base looks nearly transparent amber when held up to a light. A few look egg-shaped in the photos but they're round in hand. My macro setting stretches things out on the edges. Two sunshine photos and one blacklight.

Here's an ad from the early Marble King company years when they were still offering swirls.

Berry Pink was promoting the Marble King brand at least 10 years before the Marble King company was officially founded. And for the first five or so years that the Marble King company existed, Marble King packaging was being filled with old Alley stock.

Pretty sure Akro on both. The top being sold as a Moss Agate. I don't know what the bottom would have been sold as. Maybe it was a dug marble.

The "Twist Error Shimmering Orange Pumpkin Opal Champion Furnace Vintage Glass Marble"? And it sold for over $25? Criminy. I am not feeling good about that listing.

The top has the colors of a Vacor Picasso, but I suspect Jabo. The rest are Jabo (or a contract run from another Dave McCullough operation such as Dave's Appalachian Swirls).

Slag. I think Akro.

Another West Virginia swirl.

It's a West Virginia swirl. I think good chance of Alley.

Hmmm ... peewee ... The glass looks Champion to me, but I don't know if Champion made Peewees. There were Peewees found in Champion Bicentennial bags, but the marbles in the Bicentennial bags came from many makers. Someone once told me the peewees in those bags were made by Alley. Well, enough rambling. I don't know.

Master.

Yes. Bennington. With red paint on it?

Handgathered for sure. Nice pattern. I don't think it's a slag, per se.

Those are either Peltier Rainbos or non-American marbles known as Figure 8's. If Figure 8's, then possibly from Japan.

I had one Pokemon marble. I offered it to my Pokemon-player husband. But I'm not sure if he took it or not.
