A red and white has several options, but the pattern fits with the Alleys. So I'd keep it in that general area.  

I do keep my suspected Alleys away from my definite Alleys though.  (I have a bunch of dug ones.)  

I'm not quite making out the texture.  Could be water damage or fire damage.  

If marbles spend a long time in an aquarium you'll often see a rough finish on them.  

I took a picture of our lightpole   

I think another Alley.  

How heavy is it?  I'd ask if it feels like glass when you put it to your lips, but maybe you don't want to touch your lips to it.

I'll guess Alley like I did with the "soccer ball".  

Looks kinda swirl to me.  

Size? I'm guessing maybe Alley.

Looks like a mix of Jabos and older marbles.  (Jabo on the 1-inch swirls.)

Older ones include some Vitro Conquerors.  

First pic, 2nd row from the back, in the middle ... multicolor one ... what is that?

I sent out an SOS after I saw the first pic and my Akro expert didn't recognize it as Akro.

So now I'm in a pickle.

I do like it very much.    That is, I like the marble.  Not being in a pickle.  

How very Christmassy.  I have a moderately sized collection of ornaments with sentiments attached, but we don't do a tree. Or we haven't done since the one time I tried it in my apartment in the 1980's.  Now that we have a new home in a new neighborhood where people put up Christmas lights on the day after Thanksgiving, I'm going to look into artificial tree options.  

Ummm ... look related.  

Not normal! 

Size?  More views of the seams?

Hello.  Nice to meet you.

Did you get them all?  We have a couple of good ID-ers.  Will probably show up soon. 

Mmmmmmm love those cats!    

Alley?

 

Can't say I have heard of 76.  I recognize that tupperware popsicle stick.  

I keep saying I want to get out with my metal detector ... an old one ... but it's better than nothing.  I really gotta do that.

You guys are making this look easy, but I'm not fooled!

Hey, when you need a marble fix, you do what you gotta do, right? 

I think the top left has a special name ... but I'm not remembering it right now.

Is the bottom a "Sprite"?  

If you're interested in resale, that's probably high compared to what you could get back for them.  

But with my fondness for bumblebees I might pay that much to get those and then just enjoy sorting the rest.  


I'd guess ten cents a marble might be closer on average, but don't take my word for it.  @sclsu, what say you?

Master peewees are rare or nonexistent.

Your little one is a Japanese Pincher.  They were game marbles for Chinese Checkers sets.  

Yeah, I can't tell between Vitro or Marble King here.  And probably I would lean toward Vitro, like Al said. 

If Vitro, it's from the 1950's.  I can tell you that much.  They switched to a different style for the 1960's.  



Hmmm ... Al ... do you think it could possibly be Peltier?  I know that's a long shot, but something makes me want to ask.  (If Peltier, that would put it maybe as early as the 1930's ... but that really is a long shot.)

The first one was made by Master.   I think most would call it a Master Sunburst.  Made somewhere in the 1930's through 50's.  

There were two different generations of the Master company.  Here's a bit of history:  http://joemarbles.com/2Manufacturers History Pages/14Master/Master Marble Co., Master Glass Co..htm

For the blue one, another view could help with the ID.  I suspect it will turn out to be a Marble King Cat's Eye.  Marble King started making cat's eyes in the 1950's and continues to the present day.  One of the last American marble companies still operating.  

Not worth much.  I'd say less than a dollar.   Condition matters a lot.  Cat's eyes are rarely valuable (there are some exceptions).  Sunbursts can be worth a few dollars.  Might be some which go for more. Condition is vital though.  A single hit mark can lower the value by half.  Multiple hit marks can erase all value unless it's some especially hard to find specimen. 


That said, that is a _pretty_ Master.  Would fit nicely into this thread
