Hmmmm ... peewee ... Not sure at all, not even getting a feeling for whether it's modern or vintage.

Modern and foreign. With two ribbons like that, good chance Vacor but I don't know the style name offhand.

Peltier Multicolor Rainbo

Vacor Rooster Are you familiar with Vacor? Modern Mexican.

Transparent swirls often can't be pinned down to maker other than "one of the West Virginia companies or possibly Alox" (Alox being made in Missouri.) But having one being 3/4" adds an interesting twist to it. The larger a vintage swirl, the better chance it has of being made in WV by Alley.

I think you have a slag on top and a WV swirl on the bottom.

The top two are West Virginia swirls, good chance Alley. I'm leaning Alley on the bottom middle also. I think modern Asian on the bottom left. On the bottom right, I'm considering Marble King but would like to see some different views featuring the two seams.

Hi. Top middle is a West Virginia swirl. Bottom left is a Vitro Whitie. Bottom right might be an Akro, in which case it would be an Akro Royal. I think Marble King on top right. Top left .... that's a little tricky. The fold in the glass that some people call a "buttcrack" might suggest that it's a newer marble, but I'm leaning older -- leaning Akro. Akro's do that fold sometimes.

I would not be surprised if this one of yours turned out to be older ... like 1930's instead of 1990 ... but I'll dig out my Anacortes and try to get a close up of the ones I think you might be looking at.

That one that we were talking about maybe being Alley? It being Christensen is a very foreign idea to me. I don't remember that being suggested by swirl people that I trust.

Here's an old scan of my Vitros from an Anacortes bag. Yes, a scan. Will probably get an actual photograph someday.

Vitro was in Anacortes a short time -- I have it down as 1989 to 1992.

I'm 95% on board with Pelt there. 99%? I think it's Pelt. Just some little room for doubt because I'm having trouble reconciling the ribbon count. And you are very welcome! ❤️

Nice start! Yellow cat's eye by the glowing Akros? White cat's eye by some Vitro Conquerors? I for sure had all-reds when I was little. And pretty sure MK Rainbows. I got a bunch of marbles in my stocking in 1976 -- that was age 14 -- clearies in a wide range of sizes. I loved those. Betting they came from Champion Bicentennial bag. Then around 2004 I said I wanted some marbles and my husband got me some. But they were new and my antique store owner/friend said they weren't the kind people really want and I felt so defensive I had to learn about what kind of marbles people really want ... and that's kinda how it started.

Maybe Anacortes Vitro?

1. I have seen that color combo several times and I can't remember getting a satisfactory answer about what it was. I think maybe I saw it id-ed as Alley but for some reason I was uncomfortable with that. Maybe someone will say Alley now ... and maybe they'll add an exclamation point or a "totally" or something and make me believe it. 2. Ravenswood? 3. Felt "solid Pelt" on the last view (which I saw first), but then moved to "leaning Pelt" with the 2nd to last view. More views could help. 4. Sweet Vitro Tri-Lite. Not sure if it has another name. Don't think it's a Superior. 5. Leaning Vitro.

I'm still "planning" mine. Been planning to plan for years. Sounds like I'll never do it. But lately I've been having fairly good success with following through on things I had been procrastinating for years. So it could happen .....

Sounds fun. This will require some thought ...... be patient ....

Fantastic! I need to reexamine my unknown swirl tin.

With the blacklight, I've found a Master-like structure on clearies. Sometimes part lighting up and part not could come from it not all being one color of glass. The blacklight has led me to discover that some which looked like red clearies actually had both yellow and red glass. It's fun to maybe get a clue to a maker of a clearie, but mostly I think it's a sign that the makers didn't worry about consistency in their glass just as long as they were getting the basic clearie look that they wanted. Whatever colorants they mixed into the batch may not have fully mixed. Would be interesting to know if MK made their clearies on the same kind of machine which made their Rainbows and if they had glass feeding in from different places to do a basically single color marble. But I don't know.

This looks like a job for SuperRon.

Fun!

Just came up in my search for vintage cards. Was on pinterest. Someone was selling a repro on Zazzle and didn't say when it was from. It's here also, with more images -- https://www.houseofhawthornes.com/happy-4th-of-july/

Sounds wonderful.
