Tricky. I can't swear it's not Peltier or some other vintage possibility. But I'm also considering newer possibilities such as Jabo or Anacortes Vitro.

Yeah, it happens.

And already I'm having second thoughts on the green and white. Some good views are probably in there somewhere, but there's a glare which is stopping me from feeling sure about it.

Still "transparent swirl" on the clear and white. Transparent swirls are really hard to pin down to a company. Odds are they're from one of the several West Virginia swirl companies. But some chance it's from Alox in Missouri. Too many choices. Now I think I'm seeing enough of the green one to say Akro Moss Agate.

LOL ... I tried to figure out what that big Moss Agate would be called today. I even did both a Google search and a forum search. But I still wasn't sure.

Slag potential on top. Another transparent swirl on bottom.

"Transparent swirl" on the first one. Vintage. I leave it at that. If the 2nd is vintage then possibly Master. If more modern, possibly Anacortes Vitro. I guess there are other possibilities. A crisper picture ... or two ... featuring seams ... could help.

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Today we have a picture in sunshine ... and we're hoping the sun melts some of the ice on the sidewalk so we can get that clear today And yes ....

I"m not familiar with what it takes to be a "surfer" so I'm just posting to say hi and welcome. I'll wait along with you for the answers.

Good morning! simply having a wonderful Christmastime ♪

?? I'm not feeling Akro, but I don't know.

Might be Vitro Yellow Jackets.

lol ... I don't think we ever did the advent calendar right when I was young ... Here's the part I'm allowed to open before Sunday. West Virginia diamonds -- Pennsboro Alleys And apparently I let slip a time or two how Bumbleebees are my sentimental favorite

What a special and entirely unexpected arrival came in the mail today. Thank you to "The Gang". I'll try to hold up my end!

Bump. Size? Jabo? Ravenswood?

How did I miss this? What a treasure. Glad it is in safe hands.

Welcome. And happy Thanksgiving to you.

I don't see Akro at this time. In the 2nd photo the ribbon doubles back quickly, not corking around the marble.

That's a beauty. You agree on green brick, yes?

Yes, Japanese Transitional. Not sure of time from. I'd estimate 1930's give or take but I've tried to pin them down and been frustrated.

When I think of "tracer" and marbles, I think of a Peltier Tracer. But can't call the police on you for calling that a tracer ... it's a descriptive word. I'm not sure if collectors have a particular word for it. Maybe someone else will know. P.s., I would just call it a Transparent Swirl. It's really hard to figure out which WV swirl company (or possibly Alox in Missouri) made them.

Nice marble

Peltier pearlized patch in the wild? Mine was a gift from a friend.

Sweet. Just catching up with some reading after being away. I need to check ... I'm not sure if I have much in the way of opaques. #2020 goals?

Yes, I think one of those corks might qualify as Eggyolk Oxblood. And that patch in pic 5 does look really pearly. It's about the right shade for a Peltier. More pix of that one?
