Doesn't say anything new for me. I just wanted you to have the fun of seeing the lavender Jabo's under blacklight. (UV light, not flashlight.) Much of the Jabo lavender came from Fenton Burmese art glass cullet and glows green under blacklight.

Check out those lavenders with a blacklight.

The lavender based ones are definitely Jabo. I think the last one, with the evergreeen, is also Jabo. The tan and green one in the picture with the two lavenders could possibly be Alley.

For these two, I think Master on top and I'm leaning toward Peltier on the bottom mostly because of the baseglass visible in the bottom middle view.

Center in first collage is an Akro Moss Agate. Bottom right in first collage is a handgathered slag. (handgathered, machine-rounded) Bottom left in that collage is a West Virginia swirl. Bottom center needs more views. In second collage, right center is another WV swirl. Middle marble looks a little slaggy but could be a transparent swirl, and if so then odds are it's from a WV company. Left center has several views in the collage but most are small. So more or larger views would be good. Before I see more close-ups, I see potential for it being Peltier, Vitro or Akro or even possibly a very nonbusy swirl.

That's different. I like hideyholes.

Congrats on getting your name out there as someone to call.

These are Jabos. Made between 1991 and 2007. Check the lavender under blacklight. Much of Jabo's lavender was made from Fenton Burmese glass cullet with uranium. Jabo mostly did industrial marbles. Their play marbles, known as "classics" were more of a side project. They didn't have or need the quality control other companies had which specialized in play marbles. http://joemarbles.com/2Manufacturers History Pages/10Jabo/Jabo, Inc..htm

More views? Those chocolately ones are intriguing.

I don't recognize the pastels on the left. Vacor Picasso in the middle. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=45 The right looks a bit untypical but I think Vacor Hurricane. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=24 Many pictures at that link ... I clicked until I found this set:

Latticinio in the bottom corners. I have a humongous mental block on German handmade names. The top corners should be easy but I am too cowardly to even guess. I tried to reach for my copy of Paul Baumann's book Collecting Antique Marbles to get a hint but it's not where I expected it to be.

Yep, those would be pontils. Melon ball.

Top 1. Don't know 2. Peltier, nice size ... with the three colors of ribbon, I would agree with "Multicolor Rainbo" but not getting a feel for age. Sometime in the 30's I'd suppose, but don't know about earlier or later. 3. Akro 4. First thought was Master but the seams being longish and flattish at least on one end is making me hold back. Bottom 1. Vitro blackline all-red 2. St. Marys Alley (later Alley, 1940's) 3. I think Vitro 4. I see your dilemma. The yellow looks Peltier. Either one of those greens with the yellow would not surprise in a Pelt. But both of them together makes me consider Vitro possibilities. Still that yellow looks so very Pelty including the air pop, so that's where I'm landing.

Hawaii to Rochester ... ohmigosh ... what a jolt. We got down to the 20's last night so I'm still in limbo but I only moved up here from Oklahoma and now have had almost 20 years to get used to it.

difficult .....

These might be West Virginia swirls. Could be getting more modern here. I'm going to guess newer Champion Agate on the brown/red/orange ones -- maybe from the 1980s? (Champion started in vintage times but lasted into modern times.) If they were larger sized I might have suggested Jabo (from the 1990's) but as busy as they are, and them being a normal marble size, I'm leaning back toward Champion. As shiny as the blue is in one of the shots, Champion might be a good guess for that one also, but the transparent swirls are especially hard to pin down. If Ron weighs in, go with whatever he thinks.

Ron, I thought about Anacortes Vitro because of that blue but let myself be influenced by the age of the other marbles he has been posting. Terry, if it's Anacortes that would make the marble later -- from maybe the late 80's. Which would mean a somewhat newer marble slipped into your largely vintage collection. It's been known to happen.

With that pattern, I lean Alley. The photos look good to me.

The pink is damaged AND handmade. It is German. The bottom left view shows a pontil. The pink is a "melon ball". The blue ... does it have such a pontil? It has the look of either a German melon ball or a 1930's Master Cloudy. But it might be too large for a Cloudy ... not sure offhand how big those got. The Cloudy was a machine-made style. So ... do we have a pontil? On the yellow if that is a purposeful stem, then that's a decoration. German glass companies could be engaged in the production of marbles, beads or decorative glass at the same sites. I guess it's possible that it's something that accidentally stuck into the marble and the marble was discarded. But if that was a marketed item, then decoration.

Machine-made patch. I'd guess 1930's or 1940's. The structure makes me think of Akro but with the coloring that is not a slam dunk for me. I'm considering Vitro or non-American possibilities. Hopefully someone else will recognize it.

Yes, go ahead and start a new thread for your next close-up ... but I can tell you that this one is an Akro Tri-Color Agate, from the 1930's or 1940's.

Opalescent base is a defining characteristic of the Peltier Acme Realer. I think I also have some patches with opalescent green bases. Slags have transparent color base and opaque white swirls, so not opalescent. I'm not sure about whether anyone has found opalescence in NLR's. But Realers are NLR-era so I suppose it wouldn't be too surprising. Here's a picture of Realers from the gallery:

Hi. I posted an answer in the other thread. Sometimes the forum hiccups and makes duplicate posts. Possibly from double clicks on the submit button, but not sure. It just happens. No worries.

Hi, Terry. Welcome. You have a wide assortment. The bottom is mostly common clays but on the right side there are a couple of benningtons and a couple which might be jaspers. (Would be good to have another look at them.) This third group could be from the 1800's through early 1900's. The middle group is mostly handmade German marbles from the 1850's to early 1900's. There are also some Japanese cat's eyes from the 1950's. And one or more machine-made swirls. Possibly a couple other types. Top picture is an assortment of vintage machine-mades. I see some Peltiers, some Akros. Possibly a foreign marble which resembles Peltiers. Maybe some West Virginia swirls. Maybe a slag. A cat's eye -- maybe Japanese, maybe Vitro. Start a new thread with just a few marbles. And a separate thread with a few other marbles. And so on. A big group photo gives us a good feel for what you have -- and you have some nice marbles. For specific IDs, it's best to only have a few marbles per thread. Cuts down the opportunities for confusion.

Pelt to me. The tan-based ones are called Muddies.
