It does kinda look like oxblood. I'm just not familiar with oxblood being on that particular marble so I think it's probably red. Since it looks so much like oxblood it would be pretty hard to try to explain the difference. How you can see some white coming through underneath the red is a sign of it not being ox. Oxblood is especially opaque. Sometimes it can be tricky when it's very thin or when there's oxblood and red together. But if you can see through it to some other color below, then assume not ox.

Green, pink, & white beauty. Any ideas on ID?
Steph replied to Mr Meteorite's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Very pretty. I think this is an Alley. And I think we would call it a Coral, but with that white I'm wondering if there might be a different name. Wait for the Alley guys to come by and put their two cents in. -
They're Peltier Rainbos. I wouldn't call that oxblood. With those ribbon colors, if the base glass were transparent green they would be 7-Ups. With an olive or brown or gray base, they don't have a special name that I know of. They're handsome though.

Hello, Joe. Welcome. That is a Pelt Rainbo. Not NLR. I'm not aware that it generally goes by a special name. Once -- more than 10 years ago -- when I first started collecting -- I heard someone call it something like a Golden Bloodie. I can't recall hearing anyone but myself say that name since.

I think Vacor on #1 and #2. I recognize the colors. Asian on #3. I don't recognize the colors in #4 and 5.

Jabo Might also be nice under blacklight.

Isn't that a great feeling, Dan? John, I remember when I got my first clue that the "damage" at the end of handmades wasn't actually damage.

Girasol was the one I was thinking of. I'm a sucker for a line starting with "historically". But lots of good words and good information! Not what I was expecting. Glad I opened the question up to all these glass folks.
-
You won't take my hint to show me the seam head-on. But that's okay. I'm still at the same place even with the base glass being shown in a new light. I want it to be a Master. But if someone felt strongly about it being Asian I would not argue.
-
Tell your dad that one is smoooooth. You have kind of a ribbon core going on in one of yours. I like the slaggy one too.
-
The seam isn't coming through clearly, but I think I can make it out. I'd guess Master or Asian.
-
I do not. Very striking. I don't remember ever seeing them before.
-
I don't know what this is. Maybe a Vitro. Probably someone else will feel more confident answering.

Hi. Welcome. In the first post, you have a Vitro on the left and a Marble King on the right. I started to say Tiger Eye on the Vitro, but I think it's actually a Yellow Jacket. The Marble King style name is Tri-Color Rainbow. The marble in the 2nd post is too blurry.
-
It does indeed. Could be another German.

Hodag ... it's a Wisconsin "fearsome critter" but I didn't know until someone in Idaho told me about it today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodag

Hi. Welcome. If you could hook up with a collector in your area, that would be most educational. You could empty one jar at a time and give us a group shot and we could maybe give you an idea of whether we're looking at old and/or valuable marbles. Be careful when you do empty the jars. Don't slosh them around a lot or shake them out of the jars. Condition is vital when it comes to value. One nick could reduce a marble's value by half. (It's best to start a new thread for each group. Also, small groups are preferred, but biggish groups are okay for giving us a general idea of what we're working with.)

I want it to be Alley. But whenever I feel good about that someone will say "Brown means Ravenswood". So I don't know.

Ones like this were seen in some of the first mesh bags that Berry Pink distributed -- a kid might have gotten some as a premium when his mom bought Shredded Wheat.

A Peltier patch Possibly from the late 1930s. The more famous Peltier Peerless Patches were more opaque and were from the late 20's and early 30's.

oh geeee ... I expect you have a mix of companies there.
