  1. I do not. Very striking. I don't remember ever seeing them before.
  2. I don't know what this is. Maybe a Vitro. Probably someone else will feel more confident answering.
  3. 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.

    Id help.

    It does indeed. Could be another German.
  5. 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
  6. 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.)
  7. I want it to be Alley. But whenever I feel good about that someone will say "Brown means Ravenswood". So I don't know.

    id?

    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.
  10. oh geeee ... I expect you have a mix of companies there.
  11. Yah ... that was one kind of Moss Agate ... and that's what most people think of. That's why the name isn't glamorous enough for us modernified collectors! LOL. Even though it was the pride of Akro's line.
  12. I thought Vacor also. But you're the one with it in hand. And the closest I found was this ...... https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=93
  13. 99.9999% certain that Akro would have sold it as a Moss Agate. Different from their Tri-Onyx Agate line (which was the Popeyes). Moss Agate is not a well-loved name by modern collectors, not for this type. So maybe they have some special name like Creamsicle.
  14. Sometimes if you play it up well, you can increase your sales by stressing the UV. But you might be marketing to UV collectors as opposed to marble collectors.
  15. I'd guess in general. It is a term that was used for marbles. And probably not very many people knew that they were actually made by someone named Alley. I can't remember Mr. Alley's marble packages being branded with the company name.

    Bulgarian?

    Agree it is very pretty. Maybe you could work out a deal and keep it.
  17. Not very large, then. My two guesses are Jabo and Alley.
  18. Not a flaming dragon -- because it is not a Peltier. It is some kind of a swirl. What size?
  19. I have a particular fondness the confetti. They're all gorgeous.
