  1. Maybe WV swirls on top. I think foreign on the green.
  2. Peltier banana on left. Is that a patch marble on the right or a swirl?
  3. Vacor on left. Maybe Chinese handmade on right.
  4. I'm not seeing the white in the amber one . So I don't see slag. I see why you would think Peltier on the green and yellow. But the way the ribbons narrow when they come together is pointing away from Pelt for me. Sort of a Vacor pattern but it looks older than that to me.
  5. With the iridescent finish, it's modern. Likely foreign. I don't know if we can pin it down to a continent though.
  6. Pelt on 8, 9 and 11. Not seeing Pelt on #10 at this time. Maybe Vitro. Need to see more detail on the cat's eye. Trying to see if it looks like Vitro or Pelt. As to the possible Jabos ... could possibly be Champion too. You're probably right about 12 being an Akro.
  7. Vitro Tri-Lite on the right. I'm seeing Akro possibilities on the left. But with the green looking transparent and running a little deeper than the surface, yeah, could be another Vitro. Yeah, I'd go with Vitro for now. Maybe someone else will have a stronger opinion.
  8. Oh yeah! That's what the colors said, but I couldn't see the Marble King structure. I love bumblebees! Cokscrews can have a lot more value, but bumblebees are classic.
  9. So does #9 now with the new pictures.
  10. I"m gonna say Peltier Rainbo.
  11. I think I got 'em right. Master Comet, Akro Royal, Master Comet, Akro Sparkler. And sparklers are special.
  12. Tricky. Bottom middle is modern. Vacor de Mexico. I'm thinking odd Vitro on bottom left. Unsure of age or country of origin for bottom right. I'll go nice Vitro on top middle. Top left made me think Vitro first but I'm wobbling. Now not sure between Vitro, Marble King or even possibly a modern foreign marble. But mostly trying to decide between Vitro and less common Marble King. Top right -- more views?
  13. Top left is a modern Asian Marble. The rest are Marble King Rainbows, from the late 50's or the 60's.
  14. Top left: Vitro Tri-Lite Top right: Leaning Master Comet. (Other choice is Akro Royal.) Bottom left: I'll vote Alley Bottom right: I'll vote Marble King.
  15. I think maybe Akro corkscrew on all but the top right. The bottom middle gave me second thoughts for a bit, but I think probably Akro. My first feeling on the top right was Jabo. Maybe more photos of that one?
  16. Sweet. If you can't just step back and admire sometimes, what is the point?
  17. Alley at 3. Jabo at 12. Maybe Marble King or Peltier at 6. Maybe more pictures featuring the marble at 9?
  18. Adding: That's probably an okay Master color combo, so I am leaning Master on #1 and #3 in your group.
  19. I think that's an Akro Sparkler on the right. Nice marble. The other three marbles are Akros Royals or Master Comets. Not always possible to decide, but to help pin it down, it's good to see the cutlines head-on. You're in the ballpark. I'm leaning Akro on #2 and Master on #3, with #1 looking like Master seams but I need to remind myself of Master color combos since that combo makes me think of Akro. Here's an example I just posted in another thread of showing the seams head-on. I'm about to get started on a seam tutorial, mainly just to show people how to find them but also maybe coming with some ID's. Off to do that now.
  20. I'll go with WV Swirl in general. Possibly Alley in particular.

    Jabos?

    I agree with you Jabo call at least on most of those. You might find some stand out and want a new ID later, but I think you made a good sort.
  22. (Mine in that photo are probably mostly Akros. The top left is probably a Master.)
  23. One day I really must replace the tutorial on seams and cutlines which I accidentally deleted. For ID purposes, I find the most useful views of patches and rainbow/rainbo-style marbles to be the seams. I'm going to start pulling up different marble types from my basement and start working on that new tutorial today. In the meantime, here is an example of marbles posed to show off one of their seams. Such marbles usually have another seam on the opposite side, which can also be useful to show. Some marbles have a little scoop seam on one end and a V-shaped seam on the other end, for example, and that is a big clue. I might need to retake the picture of the top left one here, I might want to pose that so it will look more like a V-seam. I need to look at it more closely. Will do that as I try to bring up nice representatives of marbles with this style of cutlines.

    Marble ID

    I think not enough detail in the marbles themselves to pin them down to a maker. The red one seems to be a swirl of some kind. . The blue could maybe be Master, but ???
