Steph

I agree with Stephen on #2. It's from the 1930's. #3 is Master. I'd estimate 1940's, but maybe a little earlier or later. The colors on #10 look Peltier, and at least one view looks Peltier, but one view looks like the ribbons went very wild, so I'm not sure. You have several West Virginia swirls in there. #7 is probably one of the WV swirls ... but I at least briefly wondered if it might be Christensen Agate. As white as it is, if it's not Christensen Agate, I might guess Ravenswood. (Ravenswood is in the West Virginia swirl family. There were many swirl makers in West Virginia. Christensen Agate is from Ohio.) #1 does not look like a swirl. It has a long seam like one might see on a Marble King or Vitro.

I would say Vacor for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7. (I think I'm seeing iridescence on #3, and I suspect it will turn out to be a Vacor Wavebreaker.) Possibly Asian for #6. No guess on #4.

Combining the pictures into a collage made them too small to see detail on. Maybe your collage started out larger? The forum software resizes large photos. Don't worry. You'll work out the kinks.

The first guess that most would give on the first marble is Jabo. Which would mean made after 1990. The peewee is interesting. With the irregular shape of the darker blue spot, I don't have a guess for it.

Okay, at that size, I"m thinking if older than it would be a slag, and if made after 1990, then it would be a Jabo.

This could be an amber slag, from the 1920's or so. More views could help nail it down. But if it is older, then I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Look forward to seeing your collection.

way cool

Greetings!

Welcome back to the races. That hotwheels finish line gadget is cool. They've come a long way since my brother's hotwheels set in 1970.

I went to Alan's page thinking maybe he had Alleys on the CAC page because his pages are still from the time before they were understood as Alleys. But the similarly colored swirls I see there ... they look a little different to me from yours. Aaaaahhhhh ... I didn't go far enough down the page .... this one ... it does look like an Alley.

Always glad to help. I'm not seeing those as wirepulls. But I could be wrong. Been wrong many times. I"m seeing them in the general family of swirls. A little feathery in the ribbon in your more detailed shot. The Veiligglas marbles tend to have crisper ribbon.

@Yupimagirl, do yours have an iridescent finish? That would be a sign that they were modern, probably from Asia or possibly Mexico. Possibly a decorative glass, though possible still planned as a toy marble. If not iridescent, then really dark "clearies" and hard to tell the age. Could be, say, 50's. Or could be this century.

Hi, at first glance I saw "modern". But now I see some vintage in there. On the top row, 2nd from left, the blue and black (on a white base) is a Vitro Blackie, from 1960, give or take. Top left might be an Akro patch, possibly from the 1930's. The leftmost marble on the middle row could be a vintage swirl, maybe 30's to 50's. On the bottom row, the cat's eyes on either end could be vintage, or could be modern.. I can't see enough detail on the far right on the middle row. The rest look modern, styles currently in production, most or all from Asia. As I I suggested to another new poster, best to put a few marbles per thread. Since yours are laid out neatly and there's just one group, I took a shot at them. But my brain is very tired.

Welcome. You have a Peltier Rainbo. That satin finish could come from time spent in an aquarium. (one possibility) A wirepull is sort of a normal marble actually in spite of it's intriguing name. It was made by a thin stream of molten glass with a thin ribbon of color in it. The stream piled up onto itself in a zig zaggy manner which some thought looked like it could have been caused by the movement of a wire. It wasn't. There are lots of swirls made in a similar way. The ones which get the wirepull name are from Europe. Specifically they have been identified as having been made by the Veiligglas company in Amsterdam. Here is a thread @winnie started on the. (She's from Amsterdam.) https://marbleconnection.com/topic/20865-veiligglas-wirepulls

p..s. *waves at Jason*

Please start separate threads, with just a few marbles per thread. Otherwise it can be really hard to give meaningful comments and keep straight which marbles are being talked about. Thanks. ... and welcome.

"West Virginia Swirl" on #1.

And as you say that, I totally see Vitro and nothing else.

How exciting.

What That1 said.

I wish I still had this blue pair of Akros .....
