Well hi. Nice to meetcha!

Marble King Rainbow

I think so. A little sparse on the color. Sometimes with most of the color concentrated on one side, we consider Cairo Novelty as a possible maker but their base glass tends to have a different texture. Your marbles seem to have a combination of Alley base, Alley ribbon color and general Alley ribbon pattern. From the 1940s.

Likely.

Well now you're just messing with my head! I'll stick with Vitro because I can't think of anything else.

Thanks. Yours is quite the looker. Mine are mostly cool because I know the boys would have thought they were cool in the 1800's. They'd be really easy to miss if you didn't know what you were looking for.

I could see these coming from similar material. Yours has a lot of clear but some of the more solid white. (These are my actual marble marbles -- a little under 5/8" -- two of them are blood allies.)

so sweet to have a secret marble honeyhole

Is that yellow one a cork?

Oh wait ... you said the milky covering has a "green hue". So you did mention a colored area which would probably meet the general description of a "patch" in marble lingo.

weeerd. I think I've got it fixed.

These are sweet. Rich oxblood to go with all the pretty colors. DAS Mill/Bon Holiday Run, November 9, 2017

That looks like white brushed on a pale transparent base. With longish seams, suggesting Vitro. Shorter seams might suggest Master. If there is no colored patch to go with the white, then that makes the ID harder, since on Conquerors we expect both the colored and the white on the surface. Do you have a flash on your camera? That can help a lot in showing features of transparent marbles.

What are the colors? I think it's a Vitro. Maybe a conqueror. But I can't be sure since I'm not getting a good sense of the color. I'm trying to remember the word Galen would use for what caused the dark line but I'm drawing a blank. Maybe some kind of debris in the tank or on the rollers.

very nice effect

Mineral spheres are great. I can't say it's not alabaster. I know that in the smaller ones which were actually used as marbles, back in the 1800's, it was extra special if you had red veins. That would make them "blood allies".

Here's my Budweiser. From 2007.

Hi. You can upload the pix to the gallery. We can visit your gallery or get the image address from there and post it in the thread.

.... stalling while I look for my Jabo Budweiser ......

I thought of those too!

That sounds interesting. I'm not familiar with those. The "blacklight" bulbs that you can get from walmart don't work for me. But I see that the flashlights are supposed to be able to light up doggie accidents ... so probably it'll light up your vaseline glass marbles. My blacklight looks something like this, if this picture is coming through.

That's Jelle's. He posts here sometimes. @YellowMarble

LOL ... I was trying to find an image of Popeye playing marbles ... and it's really hard to find the actual Popeye cartoon if you include the word marbles ... not sure why
