Someone posted a picture of a marble with a screw in it. I coveted it.

Hi. Nah. Furnace brick and other debris is interesting. But it rarely adds value. If it was something really different like a screw, it might be a different story.

???? If vintage, I'm wondering about Peltier.

Aaaaarrrgghh. The lighting! Is the green only green? It looks fairly solid on my monitor. If so, it would not be a hybrid. The red appears to have white edging, so that's considered a hybrid. Reminder: the Vitro hybrids were presumably intentional, which is different from how the word is usually used. (Yes, definitely ready for some cats! )

Don't ever change!

My first guess is Akro. 2nd is an older Vitro.

That would be getting yourself in a little deep.

That would be very sweet. A spot of sunshine in her year.

Sad is the word. Poor lady.

Vitro is a good possibility. Not a standard All-Red pattern. So maybe someone made a mistake. Though sometimes surprising things do show up in officially marked bags.

Yes, a fried marble

Gladding-Vitro was the Vitro company name from 1969 through 1982. I don't recognize that as an All-Red, or even as a Vitro from that era. Was the bag sealed when you found it?

My birthday marbles DAS Equinox, 9/25/18 A mist of lutz on the 2nd from the right, middle row.

The texture + structure looks modern Asian to me. Gotta be one of the prettiest I've seen.

.... I guess sometimes the color funnel went one way and sometimes another without them telling it to .... just a guess .... sometimes it spun quickly and you got a lot of twists on the marbles and sometimes it hardly spun at all and you'd get a lazy cork or even a patch.

It means you have a surprising number of corks which just go the other way. Someone with access to a lot of corks (I think it was Dani) said they found about a 50-50 split between the clockwise and counterclockwise corks. (Keep it in your Akro pile.)

Hey, peltheads, check out his color.

Yeah, I think so. With those two loops, it's looks like the baseball-stitching style of NLR. What colors are you seeing in hand?

that's different .... Just looked it up. I see I was in high school when it came out. I should have known about that one. But I did not.

Looks vintage from here.

Someone posted this on facebook ... Sistersville Marble Festival in the news. Some years it's on my birthday. I need to go. http://www.newsandsentinel.com/news/community-news/2018/09/sistersville-marble-festival-rolling-forward-for-19th-year/

Oh no, not Red Devil!

That's wild. In more ways than one.

Gonna say no. I think WV swirl, not Akro.

Just found this one in a wooden box ... that maybe I got from one of my husband's friends? The glass feels Rainbo even if the pattern might make me want to say NLR. The yellow seems a little unusual -- a dark gold maybe with a little olive tint. Darker than in the picture. I need to pull out some more yellows ... at least the Mandarin Bee ... maybe I'll find it's perfectly normal. But I couldn't wait to get a picture.
