  1. With the small size they could have had another name. An 1883 article spelled "peewee" as "peawee" ... and also called them pony alleys.
  2. I have seen clays with intentionally splotched paint. With these though I think the paint chipped off. Clays. Aka "Commies" back in the day.
  3. Master is my best guess but I don't feel great about it.
  4. Whoa. Green? I don't know. Master?
  5. Left is a Peltier Multicolor Rainbo. A popular marble. Right is another Peltier, an unusual combination. Without quite seeing the angle I'd like to see on the 2nd from left, I can only say my first thought was Vitro cat's eye, but some of the views have me unsure. Can we have a view of what's at the top of the marble in the first photo? Not sure at all on the third marble. Wacky Akro? Wacky Vitro? Something else entirely?
  6. If those are pontils, then I guess those would be German melon balls. The marble to the right of those two is a Peltier Rainbo. The top left marble in the first photo is also a Pelt Rainbo. The top right in the first photo might turn out to be a Peltier Rainbo also. Would be good to see the seams on that one. Third from the left on the top row in the first photo might be a Christensen Agate. Probably some Alleys in there. Maybe some Ravenswoods.
  7. Top right Akro. On the top left, if vintage then I vote Alley, if modern then Jabo. Since the right one on the middle row looks Jabo, I am kind of leaning that way on the tope left. Middle row left is Marble King Girl Scout. Maybe Alley on the middle row center. Bottom row. Middle and right -- considering Christensen Agate. Left ????
  8. First thought was WV swirl. Closer view of some parts makes it look like it could be a very swirly Peltier. Is there a seam that you could highlight?
  9. I think Alley on 10, which probably also means Alley on 8 though the base looks a little different to me.
  10. Bottom right is Marble King Rainbow. Middle row, second from right ... I think it's a Vitro. Thought of Akro also, but the slight blue I think I see is making me side with Vitro. Bottom row, second from right, is interesting. My first thought on colors was Akro, but then on structure I thought Master, and then I had second thoughts on the colors and thought Vitro. Then I considered Marble King, lol. More views please.
  11. I haven't learned the names of the different styles. I have a couple of editions of Paul Baumann's Collecting Antque Marbles so I could take a stab at that if needed. But for now I will just bump this for you.
  12. Looks good to me. Since this is such as specialized set of questions, I'll move this thread over to the main chat forum.
  13. That is interesting. Because I wasn't familiar with that style of cat eye being modern. Educational.

    Jabos?

    I'm not sure either. Jaob is a good possibility. To me the glass on the bottom right one looks like it could be older, but I sure don't have a different guess for it.
  15. 1. Akro Royal patch 2. Maybe a Vitro Whitie 3. That patch seem irregular so it is possibly a Peltier. 4. Pictures of seams might change my mind, but am leaning toward Peltier Rainbo 5. Possibly another Akro patch 6. Possibly another Akro patch 7. More views could change my mind but I think this could be an Akro corkscrew. (Does it have a black ribbon which starts at the "top" and wraps around to the "bottom"? 8. Maybe another Akro patch. 9. Peltier Rainbo I posted this thread recently to show what features can help your or us with your ID's. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/24889-seams-cutlines-and-poles-and-photo-tips/ It also shows some samples from various makers which you could find helpful. It is still a work in progress but I'm nearing the end of the material I had planned on including.
  16. Above and below the Japanese Wales type marble are Vitro Conquerors. To the right of the Wales marble is probably another Vitro. Vitro or Akro on bottom right -- am leaning Vitro. Vitro All-Red at top left. The swirls in the second group look like Jabos.
  17. That is too many marbles per post, and too many marbles per thread. You need to help us to help you. If we start saying things like "the third marble in the second row of the fifth picture in post #4 is an Akro corkscrew", well, that will become very dizzying. That said the the bottom marble in your first picture in the last post is a Peltier Rainbo, and on the top row of that picture, the second marble from the left is an Akro corkscrew. I really would like to help . Just please start a new thread for each group, and please consider posting fewer marbles per group. Thank you.
  18. Thanks for posting. Have shared this with someone already. Good luck to you.
  19. Jose, the black and white is either Peltier or Akro. More views needed to see if the black has the Pelt patch shape, or the Akro corkscrew shape.
  20. Test to start a thread with one group of marbles. Helps to have more than one view of each marble in the group. You have some Akro, some Peltier, some slags and some West Virginia swirls. If you're interested in reselling marbles, keep in mind that condition is very important to value .
  21. Not much value, probably less than a dollar per marble unless you found the right person to buy them from you for more at an antique booth, say. They're commons. Just nice to have vintage.
