Steph

Really really appreciate you sharing this history with us.   Thank you for being a part of helping to keep it alive as the great ones pass on. 

#1  Tri-Lite ... don't know a name
#2 ... don't recognize ... wouldn't even have been sure of Vitro
#3  Transparent inside, right?  Then Tiger Eye.  
#4  I guess a Tri-Lite -- a handsome one
#5  Might be early 50's ... after Tri-Lites and Conquerors and before Tiger Eyes
 

Hi.  Welcome.  Nothing is jumping out at me as high dollar. But it's a nice vintage bunch. 

I saw someone get $40 at a garage sale for a group that was less interesting than any of the groups you have pictured.

I don't recognize it.  The patch seems fairly well formed but just amorphous enough to make me think of Peltier. 

Rick was posting while I was typing.  And even thought he has leaned away from Pelt ... he seems to have caught at least a vibe of what I was feeling.

Hello.  Welcome.  

Not seeing images.  Might need to try the uploads again. 

Odds seem high.

Looking forward to seeing more of it.

Good luck!

My husband got several thousand just for his Pokemon cards which he bought in his 30's and 40's.   

Have sports cards from your childhood?  Wow.  The possibilities.  

So nice.

What a gorgeous group of marbles.  

Welcome.

No, but the eBay seller has quite a bit of european marbles for sale.  There were a few in this lot.  

I'll go with European on the left.  

Sweeeeet.

Gotta be vintage. 

Did you get a recent shipment from Europe?

I  thought I already answered this.  I wrote out an answer but I guess I didn't submit.  

Okay ...

I agree with Vacor on the left, but I will suggest a Vacor Sunset.   And the others also seem foreign to me, some kind of vintage, but whose?

You mention Mosaico on the left.  Mosaicos have a wide variety and I don't know their range well enough, so I can't say "not Mosaico".   But I think of them as more colorful, and more departures from the Sunset palette. 

Marble King double ingot then.  I'm seeing two cat's eyes in there.

Bottom line . . . in the case of the OP marble, onyx = slag and vice versa. I just didn't want the Steven to get the idea that his marble was not a slag.

Ah, of course. 

I just  wanted Steven to realize his beautiful slag had a much classier name once upon a time.

To be clear, "Onyx" was Akro's brand name for their slags.

The name was also used by MFC  for sure.  MFC called them National Onyx Marbles.

And I'm pretty sure it was used by Christensen and Peltier.  

At least Gropper used the name Onyx when jobbering Christensen and Peltier.   Now I have to  gather up my Onyx ads and probably fix some more old Photobucket links.  ( : 

*heads off to look for one of the Peltier pricelists that Mike Barton posted*  

The original maker's name was not "slag" by the way.  It was Onyx.  And yours is a gorgeous handgathered one.  


What a looker.

Whoa! My first thought was Vacor but none of the many other comments had a whisper of that.  

I could see coral now, but are there no visible cutlines?

Normal player size, correct?  


The colors and striation in the middle are making me think of Heaton though I have 4 distinct vanes on mine but you appear to have more than four vanes, so that's  wishful thinking. 

On larger marbles,  the colors on the outside would point to the Masters which were jobbered by Alox.  Even on the small, I'm thinking hard about Master on the left.

The right is feeling more Euro.
 

I am not aware of a Master cage style so I will go with Asian on the outside, Vitro in the middle. 

Such pretty stone.

Interesting bit of strategy insight there.  Make your marble harder to see on the dirt.  

The colors are right for Anacortes but I don't remember a non-cage version from Anacortes.

And in spite of the five vanes, I don't remember those colors as the something from the 1950's.  

So I will stick my pin somewhere in the middle range.

Yes to Vacor
