Sometimes underwater photos help show what's inside clear marbles like that. I was about to say that's a long seam, which could add to the Pelt possibilities ... but it has a pronounced V-shape, doesn't it. And the ribbon that I see doesn't go all the way to the seam. I"m leaning Master now, because of the V-shaped seam and because two skinny ribbons which don't actually go to the seam are pushing me away from Pelt.

That's almost showing too much of the marble ... yet not quite enough. I'm not getting a sense of the arrangement of the two ribbons. Or the shapes of the seams. The seediness of the base does suggest a Peltier possibility, but from this view the ribbons aren't seeming very Pelty.

My initial thought is that it's a machine-made marble from the 1900's. Would have to see more of it to do better than that.

Hi. Welcome. Fun find. From here it is not looking like a brick. More views could help.

I think value goes up with size. They were called commies back in the day ... because they were so common. But I think one over an inch would be worth more than a dollar.

I just got some nice marble mail to post pictures of. Figured I'd start a new thread for new Dave McCullough marbles since the last thread got really long. I'll start with the Northern Lights Tank Wash from 4/13/19. So glittery in the sunlight, which of course I didn't capture. Take my word for it.

If you had an antique stall you might be able to put, say, a $20 price tag on the group and have someone happy to find them. Eventually. But in general, I think only worth a few cents apiece.

Hi. Welcome. There is more than one possibility. Let us see a photo.

I think the darker red ones are what are known as "bricks" by collectors. When that style was first introduced it was called American Cornelian. It is a popular and not easy to find marble style.

Very nice. Some beautiful old marbles. Handle them (and the box) with care.

With the different lighting, I think you have a vintage marble. In some ways it looks like a slag but some of the pictures hold me back. I'm going to offer Akro slag as a tentative ID.

I would fill the question marks in with Vacor.

Hi. The blue and white one is a Marble King Rainbow. Could be 1960's or a little earlier. The red and yellow and white one ... that has roughly the pattern of a Vitro All Red. Some possibility of being made by a different company, even Marble King. But usually I think those would be put in with the Vitros.

Do you see any seams/cutlines/poles? I think I might see on peeking up from the bottom right in the first photo. A more centered view of such features could help.

How did you come by it? Or when? Did any other marbles come with it? There are things about which make me think Jabo. And things which make me wish for more views ....

Size? If modern, looks like Jabo. If older, I don't know.

I remember a time when boxes of 1" (or thereabouts) Jabos were sent out from the factory with 1" Imperials mixed in. I can't remember if we got an explanation of it or if I just assumed that Jabo had orders to fill and ran short and supplemented the orders with the Asian marbles.

I'm wondering if this one is a Vacor. If it is, then the could improve the odds of your red and white ones being Vacors.

good call!

Are you sure the others were Jabos? I guess the modern ones I would think they most looked like would be the Vacor Old Fashion https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=99

The texture and brightness of the white on the first two, especially the red one, makes me lean toward "foreign" for them. Possibly modern, which would be Vacor. But I'm not solid on that. Obviously.

Definitely
