Shiny can be really good shape. Most of these look vintage. #1. Can't guess with that view. #2. LIkely Master #3. I think this one will turn out to be a Peltier Rainbo. #4 and #5. These may turn out to be a West Virginia swirls. #6. I can't really guess a maker with that view, but I'm pretty sure it is vintage. #7. No guess For marbles which have cutlines and seams such as #2, #3, probably #4 and #5 and maybe #6, it's helpful to show those lines/seams. You show it clearly in #2. We used to have a tutorial to show how to locate those seams. I accidentally deleted it. I need to make another one. Making a big reminder to put beside my desk right now.

Congrats!

Richard may be onto something.

Hi Kirby. The first looks like it may be a slag. Possibly Christensen Agate from about 1950. The fourth looks like a Peltier Rainbo in this view. From the late 1930's through the 60's.

I love those. I have some which look solid (or look like clearies) but have balloons of different color inside. While the seam is rather long, I'm leaning toward Master.

Onward and upward! Nice site. Nice pix.

Pretty sure this is Vitro. Edit: at least I'm sure they did some kinda lamp -- I need to pull out my Vitro book. Hopefully someone else can confirm and talk value.

I wanna try that.

I can fix it. Done.

Someone might be able to convince me the read and green one is modern Marble King.

I think you're right. Another mix of Vacor and Asian. The big one on the left and the two spaghetti swirls on the right being Vacor. Could be others. (still best to start a new thread ... so people know that a new batch is being looked at )

Another provocative one for a different reason .... (P.s., article was wrong -- it was Martin's son Charles, not Martin.)

Here's a provocative classic. Sports Illustrated, June 20, 1955 .... this is a large-ish size but it's displaying smaller for me here. If I click on it three times I get a bigger copy. Might work for you. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/8445-marbles-article-1955/ https://www.si.com/vault/1955/06/20/604842/color-in-the-dust

I tried to figure out how common 5/16" pelts were. Didn't find it. Best I can do is bump it for you.

Pretty sure they were up against vintage marbles ... pretty sure it was a Rooster which was thought to be a vintage marble. Then someone figured it out. Not aware of an Asian ID site.

One year a Vacor won a "best slag" competition at one of the clubs out west. Was over 10 years ago. Now folks recognize 'em better.

Nice pattern on #5.

#4. Vacor Rooster #5. I'm thinkin' Vacor Hurricane #6 & 7. Asian #1 through 3 .... yes foreign ... maybe Vacor on #2.

The pictures do show quite a lot of detail. Nice.

Won't be a steal, but you won't be robbed either. And a nice little bag of marbles finds a good home.

I vote yes.

Here's one it reminded me of. Not as much coverage as Dan's, obviously, but some wide ribbons. I had that one in with my Rainbow Reds for a long time ... until one day the light hit it just right and I realized that was a Peltier green base, not a weird MK black ribbon.

Modern for #3 through 7 #3. Asian (the style called Imperial, but I'm trying to get out of the habit of saying that) #4. Maybe Vacor. (If not, then Asian) #5. Does it have cutlines? Not sure ....presuming foreign #6. Foreign. Leaning Asian. #7. Vacor #1 ... what are the cutlines shaped like? short? long? V-shaped? straight? #2 is a puzzle. I'll guess modern but I don't have a guess for a maker with one off-center brown ring around the middle. Does it have an iridescent finish? Or is a normal glass finish just with reflections?

Thanks, Mike.
