Ugh. Interesting pair. I want them to be Master. I can't at this time rule out Asian. But I really want them to be Master. Size?

Peltier Rainbo. Later than the Peerless Patches. This one sort of looks like a single patch, but it's more than one ribbon smushed together.

Mike, are you around? @mmuehlba? Marian, Mike has done impressing things with a water soluble polymer coating ... https://marbleconnection.com/topic/19143-open-core-latticno-would-you-polish-it/?tab=comments#comment-165686

Yes, another Peltier Rainbo. If that base glass is green, then some would call it a 7-Up.

Peltier Rainbo

Very likely wear from water. For some reason German handmade names just don't stick with me, but I found this on p. 58 of the 4th edition of Paul Baumann's book, Collecting Antique Marbles.

There are many people who fundamentally oppose restoration. They worry about restored marbles being sold as original condition. But, if it's your marble, for your enjoyment, then you get to do what you want with it. If it's a marble with color at the surface, then repairs could completely change the look of the marble. For a sulphide that wouldn't be such a problem. I don't know what costs are associated with restoration because I don't know anyone who's still doing it. The people I know who did it have passed away or are in poor health. So, if you find someone who can do it, then issues could be the cost of the repair versus how much it would cost just to purchase a better example of the marble. For relatively common marbles, the cost probably wouldn't be worth it. For more rare marbles, you might want to consider the pre-repair monetary value versus the post-repair value. If it's a completely trashed marble than repairing probably wouldn't lower value, but if it's a near mint rare marble, then it could be much more valuable in the original condition than it would be restored. How was that for a bunch of vague statements? Did any of it help?

wow

I wondered about that one also. Not at all sure. Could be older.

Left to right #1. Maybe Jabo #2. That bright white is making me think maybe Vacor Rooster #3. I think that's a Jabo. #4. ?

Wow, the articles are a treasure. And the bag is great also. The marbles however are not so old. When Japanese cat's eyes were introduced in America around 1950, they had very clear, untinted base glass and had four vanes made with a single color. Later cat's eyes had six-vanes or three vanes, and started to have a coke bottle green base glass. So those cat's eyes are later. The white based marbles with the three ribbons are also later. Both these marbles and cat's eyes like that are still being made today. So somehow newer marbles got joined with an older bag. The clearies would also be very difficult to date, having been made by many companies over the years. However, they COULD be from the 1940's. They were being made then (and are still being made today).

Vitro Conquerors.

Master on right. Not sure on left. Vitro? Akro? Another Master?

earlyish master

Left master, right peltier

Yes.

Yes, many companies made fluorescent marbles. (Alley, Marble King, Vitro, Jackson, Peltier, Christensen Agate ... surely more). On the top marble, seeing seams would help. The lemony-based oxblood is Akro. Not sure about the swirl to the left of that Akro.

yeah ... something like that ... not always sure about the big areas ... maybe something got stuck in manufacturing and then broke off in a big way

Can you trim out the background and reload to maybe give us more detail of that surface?

But vintage for sure.

Somehow I thought I was only seeing one view of the bottom left. Maybe because one view was so wiggly and the other view was so straight. I saw the straight view and thought maybe MK. I'm onboard the Pelt train for all now.

I'm not sure how long Master used the name "Comet". The later Masters started having less defined colors and more random combos in comparison to the sharper colors in the first Masters. So, I this is a later marble and I don't know what Master would have called it.

Leaning Master here.

Well that was my first thought, and I'll stay with my first thought in spite of the longish seams making me waver.
