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

Still not seeing anything.

Not a pontil. This is a machine-made marble. There's a loop in the ribbons there, so it looks like the streaming glass folded onto itself once, and then didn't fully get rounded when the marble went down the rollers. Leaving the indentation.

Marbles really can be a window into history. thanks for sharing

Very nice! -
I was trying to play it safe. I thought Navarre was one of Leighton's ventures, so I thought Leighton would cover it. But I guess I don't remember any more. I've been trusting my memory too much and not double-checking -- which has led to quite a few mistakes in recent days.

Leightons!

I don't find marbles often ... anywhere ... so I celebrate even finding bananas in an antique store.

Hi. You're correct about them being modern. However they're Vacor rather than Jabo. This is a useful page for identifying Vacor style names. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/liste_billes.php I'm seeing Neptune, Butterfly and ... hmmm ... is that an iridescent finish on the bottom group? If so then maybe Katydid?

I'm no good at all with value here. I usually don't try to put a name on the German handmades, but I think I got this one right. Hopefully someone else will be by to give you a general idea of value.

Hi. Welcome. German handmade onionskin, from the 1800's or early 1900's.
-
My first thought on the first one was Vacor, but then I decided it looked like a Jabo sweet peas. I should have checked out the Vacor page to see if my first hunch was right.
-
Those are some gooey ones!
-
Hi. Possibly Vitro on the far right. Maybe Master in the middle, or a modern one with the Master-like cutlines. Now I see that #2 has similar cutlines. So Master if vintage or if modern those colors could mean Vacor Sunset. I think Jabo on the left and on the big yellow one.
