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.
