Feeling a little festive.  Post your holiday marbles.  I'll start with my freshest marble mail from Dave McCullough.  
 

Perfect!

I gotta get one of those for my purse!

Hello.  We might be able to help!

You could post an overview shot so we could get an idea of the general age.  If their all modern that would give a pretty quick idea of value. 

To get many specifics though post a few per thread in the ID forum:

The cleaning patches?  Yeah, I guess they might. 

welcome!  

No, not worth much.    An average Tri-Lite might bring you a dollar or two but not so much that it would stop you from letting kids play with cool orbs.   

A few hundred could add up to something, of course.  And there are some fancier Tri-Lites which could bring more.  

And I have a bunch of these tins which might be cute to store marbles in ...

.... except for how I like to have clear-topped or at least easily labeled storage places so that I can know what's inside.  Hmmmm .....

I love this little jar which has nothing to do with marbles .....  

Better.

From left to right,

#1 appears to be an Asian marble.  Considered "modern" as in after 1970, but 1970 is 48 years ago already.    How did THAT happen?

#2 is still a question mark for me.  Marble King?  Vitro?  ?

#3 I was still thinking Alley on #3, but with as white as it looks that makes me think it could be Ravenswood.  So I'm going Alley or Ravenswood.  Something in the WV swirl family. 

#4 now appears to be a Vitro Tri-Lite.  From the 1930's.  

Hiya.  Long time.

The top one might be an Alley Agate from the 1930's or 1940's. 

The bottom could end up being an Akro Agate from the 1930's. 


Need clearer pictures.  Possibly if you pull back a little way from the marble the focus would be better?   Also, four marbles per picture wouldn't be a bad thing.  That could also _possibly_ help with focus issues.

Thanks, Ron.  

Hi.  That's an Akro corkscrew.  From the 1930's.   I'm not sure if it has a special nickname.  Is it a normal 5/8" diameter marble?  Or closer to an inch? 

  If normal size and mint, one might be able to get a couple of dollars for it. (Just my rough guess.)    Yours does not appear mint, so I think value is probably a dollar or less. 

I'm here!  

Are you? 

Hi.  I'm back after being unable to log on for a couple of days.  I don't know the answer, but I can bump the thread.  Also I moved it.   I move technical name questions to the main forum  in the hopes that more will see. : ) 

Interesting for sure.

But I still am puzzled. I look forward to hearing other thoughts.  

With all the colors those have, it's possible it's from a contract run from Jabo or DAS or a related enterprise.  I'll tag a couple who might have a clearer idea.

@wvrons

both gorgeous.  the sparkling water idea is genius

I'm thankful for each and every one of you.  Hope everyone has a pleasant Thanksgiving.  

Okay, at that size, then I'm definitely going Akro Moss Agate with the green ones.  But the red one makes my brain a little tired.   

No.  At least the first three are not.  Pretty sure not on the last one either.

The first two are moss agates. I think the third is also.  

I guess Akro on all three though that patches have different shapes.  Master also made moss agates.  And Peltier made the Acme Realer which can look similar except there is orange fire in the base glass of the Realer. 

What size on those?

p.s. gotta say again how neat those two are.  In a world where Conquerors are commons, those two big 'uns are still keepers. 

 I don't often refer to the Phantom Conqueror.  

I put all the Conquerors together, whether the white is on the surface or inside.  

So Victories with just the color patch. And Conquerors with the color patch and white.
