    Yeah, looks like a handgathered slag.

    Not Peltier. My first thought was Alley. But that thick, bright white with the airpops is telling me Vacor. I think you have a Tidal Wave. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=59

    Not a Tri-Color patch. I think this is basically a two-color marble. Marketed as an Akro Royal. Akro seams tend to be longer and straighter than Master seams. Master often have a pronounced curvature, making them U-shaped or even V-shaped.

    New groups

    Steph replied to Jose's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    I split this off into a new thread ... leaving that other thread for those three handmade marbles. This is still a lot for one thread. You have such a mix of marble. I think I see an Akro Moss Agate from the 1930's. And I see a Marble King from around 1960. There's an Alley from the 1950's. You have some Vacors from this century. And more. Sooo ... we're getting there but still smaller groups of marbles are better, with a separate thread for each group. Also for each group, it can be helpful to give us more than one photo of the group, with the marbles rotated so that we can see different views.

    It's a little bit slow-motion. Is that intentional? Can you tweak that?
  7. Steph
    Yes, good pictures. In this new ordering, I think modern Marble King Rainbo on the top left -- from 2000-ish. Top Middle --- still torn between Master and Akro -- a 1930's marble Top right -- if Vintage, I'm leaning Alley, 1940's. Bottom left -- pretty sure Vitro. Maybe in the Conqueror family. 1940's. Bottom Middle -- Vitro Tiger Eye. 1950's. Bottom Right -- still wondering about Cairo Novelty but no strong feelings

    I generally move handmade questions to the main chat forum. I'll do that now ..... (These are from Germany, possibly from the 1800's ... or could be early 1900's.)
  9. Steph
    I like it for Akro.

    Hi. Welcome. You can still learn IDs even with damaged marbles. Best to post a few at a time, maybe four at a time, with a new thread for each group. Otherwise, we'll be trying to say "You see that one at the top, sort of right of center, with the red and green -- that's a Marble King Rainbow Red." Can get very complicated very quickly.
  11. Steph
    The white one with the black speckles is one of the newer ones. Likely Vacor.
  12. Steph
    Looks like Akro. If a slag doesn't have a clear pattern such as Peltier feathering or a Christensen seam, then chances are it's Akro.

    Transparent swirls can be especially hard. I mostly group my transparent swirls together.
  14. Steph
    Subscribed!

    A mixture. 1950's (or maybe earlier) through 2000's. Nothing very valuable. To me the most interesting is the large swirl in your last photo. That's one of those Veiligglas wirepulls from Amsterdam. It appears to be damaged though. You also have a smaller Veiligglas up there, on the bottom left in the first photo.

    Hello. Welcome! I find computer generated races fascinating. You programmed it?
  17. Steph
    I'm getting a bit of a Vitro feeling from the top right in the first photo. (Bottom left in 2nd). More pictures might help.
  18. Steph
    Wondering about Cairo Novelty on the red and white.
  19. Steph
    The pattern on the one with black around the center and white on either ends could point to a modern Marble King or a sort of plain Vitro Blackie. (We usually think of Blackies as having a white base with a black ribbon around the middle and colored patches on the end). But the glass texture isn't matching either one of those for me. Maybe other lighting would make me see it differently.
  20. Steph
    thanks ... The bottom right one of the first photo (top left of 2nd photo) is a Vitro Tiger Eye. From the 1950's. I thought maybe Alley on top left in picture 1 (bottom right in picture 2) but with the color pretty much on one side of the marble, that's a possible sign of Cairo Novelty instead. Middle right of picture 1 (middle left of picture 2) could be a Master or an Akro.
  21. Steph
    ... as to what caused the circle ... I don't know. If it's not a chip, then the marble might have gotten caught on something and then when it got free that's as round as the machines helped it get.
  22. Steph
    It's a nice vintage group. My brain is sorta mushy right now. Can't take on a big picture ID at the moment. Someone else might feel up to it. On the bottom row, second from left, I think that's a Peltier Peerless Patch.
  23. Steph
    Top marble ... not sure ... maybe a slag or an Akro corkscrew or ??? ... more views would be needed for an ID ... but it has several dings, so it probably doesn't have much monetary value. Next marble looks like a West Virginia Swirl. Sort of a generic marble. Third is a Vitro All Red -- a very common marble. The last looks like maybe a slag, also I think with damage. As I said in one of the other posts, I think $75 is probably a fair offer. It's possible though that someone else will look your marbles over and see something they would consider a steal at that price, so wait for a second opinion.
  24. Steph
    My first impression is that $75 for the lot is probably a reasonable price. But wait for a second opinion.
  25. Steph
    The biggest one here is a cat's eye ... cat's eyes aren't usually valuable, but someone might pay just for the size. Another big one above the biggest one might also be a cat's eye. The big marbles on the left are slags, which are popular marbles from the first three decades of the 1900's. The black and yellow marbles might be Christensen Agates. Christensen Agates are a popular marble but two color ones without special patterns still probably wouldn't bring a lot of money. You also have some Akro Corkscrews here ... with a lot of damage. Even one small ding can lower a marble by more than half of what it would be worth if completely damage-free. Soooo ... that's part of what you have in this group.
