  1. I thought Hansel's question was whether this marble exhibited the road-and-tunnel feature.  Not about who made it.  Is it not close enough to qualify?

     I associate road-and-tunnel with Christensen Agate ... and with European striped transparents.

     

    Edit: there was a little hiccup on the lower left which I thought might rule out the road-and-tunnel designation ... but I was hopeful.

  2. In the 2nd photo, the top left appears to be an Akro corkscrew.  Possibly the top right is also one. 

    On the left hand side in the middle row, that purple and blue combination will probably mean something to someone.  I feel I should recognize it.  But I'll just say "West Virginia Swirl". 


    In the first photo, the top right and the next one underneath it might also be Akro corkscrews.  But the top right could also be a Peltier Rainbo or something else.  More views are needed.  

    The bottom right looks like it might turn out to be a Master.

  3. 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.


     

  4. 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

     

  5. 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.
