#1 appears to be a Peltier Rainbo. Not very easy to find in the boulder size. The damage on the slag makes it worth zero cents. It's just cool that someone loved it so much. Sticking with modern foreign on #2, probably Asian. Sticking with Jabo on #4. That leaves #3 .... You got one solid view of one of its seams, but I still don't know what it is. Hmmmm ... I'm going with Peltier Rainbo on that one. I'm not 100% on it, but between the long seams, and the 3 or more ribbons, and the light seediness of the base glass which I think I saw in one of the photos ... Peltier Rainbo is my vote.

Because of the colors I was first looking for Pelt, but there appears to be a tongue of sorts -- suggesting a single stream swirl.

I need to find us a headscratcher emoticon.

Yes. Also, it has a sort of Conqueror coloring.

I think so, too.

Very interesting ... without the flip flop. and pretty in its own right ... striking colors.

That is a mighty attractive hunk of furnace brick.

That would definitely be something to ask him about -- which city he digs in, even if he doesn't want to be specific about the location.

So, by "exclusive at Marble King", you mean the present-day site in Paden City? Gotta wonder what Pink was doing with the marble machines from 1949 to the mid-50's. Tinkering was happening. Would make sense that he gave the Alley machines a run. .... but tinkering in the early 50's in St. Marys doesn't explain the marbles getting to Paden City in 1958 or later.

diet cream soda today ... haven't replenished the cabinet in awhile

What pretty blends ... the soft tans really work.

Nice catch! Both of you!

Nice. Bonus for the marble reference.

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day Me say day, me say day-o Congrats. Gotta love the classics.

For #1 would like to see the part that's in picture #1. The structure of #2 looks sort of modern and foreign in that view. Not sure I've seen enough though. #3. Need more views. #4. Getting a Jabo vibe from it but need more views. #5. Modern and foreign. Probably Asian. #6 & #8. Modern, asian #7. Looks like a vintage West Virginia swirl #9. Still thinking maybe slag. It sure has seen a lot of action.

I don't think _very_ common. I've had at least one. As simple as it was, It stood out among my others.

Once, I spent so much time with my blacklight sorting marbles in a dark closet that I gave myself a tan on one wrist from where I held the UV light over it. P.s., you took some nice pix, Dave. It's not easy to get the glow to pop in a photo, but you did it.

New to me! And I might never have heard it if you hadn't posted.

Yeah ... Jabos have some nice glow. Comes from the Fenton Burmese cullet they used. At least much of the brightest glow does. If you pull out the brightest ones, then more colors start to emerge from what remains. Those are some pretty cool warriors in the top post.

A larger photo please! #9 could be a much played-with slag. Maybe. #6 appears to be modern and Asian, as does #8. Larger pics would surely help. Featuring cutlines if you recognize them. (e.g., for marble #1, for the first view, you seem to be showing most of a cutline/seam, which is good ... just need a boost in size.)

*gasp* that's beautiful

Okay, well, with that coloring and that cutline, at a large size, my best guess is Akro.

I don't remember the black letting light through -- still not sure where it is now to doublecheck -- but it had that fissure of clear glass, separate from the black.
