Good point. 

And nice ones.

Paging  Craig.  

Nice to start with a family keepsake. 

Lou, the site owner, is from PA also.  

I'm a very lucky lady.  Marble mail from a friend ....  a new batch of marble photos and marble ads to go with the rest of the photos and ads and magazines he has sent me as he has digitized his collection of ephemera.   

love, love, love

This is another view of the possible Vitro. 5/8"...

 

I'll stick with Vitro. I'm not sure which decade.  30's, 40's or 50's.

The base glass for this one is dark green. I put it on my phone to light it.

It measures 5/8"

 

"Transparent Swirl"    .. in the WV Swirl family

I wouldn't try to name a specific maker.

Vitro Helmet.   1930's

These Yellow ones appear to be to kin to each other.

Both are about 9/16".... and they have 2 seams.

 

Peltier Rainbos

This one measures about 19/32" and it appears to have only one seam?

 

A simple,  less swirly WV Swirl.

Here is few of the one just to the lower left of the moss agate...

It measures 5/8"

 

It's not what I hoped, but I'm still thinking early Vitro.

Now we're seeing why it's best to just do a few marbles per thread.  Some are definitely gonna get lost in the shuffle, but I'll do my best!

Top right is a Vitro helmet.  Top left is a Peltier Rainbo. 

Near the bottom, just to the lower right of the Moss Agate.  .... that could be an interesting Vitro down there ... tan, green, red ....

Would this be a Ravenswood?

I'll leave this for the swirl guys. With those flames I might guess Alley.

full of bubbles!!

Just under 3/4"

I'll stick with Akro here.  Moss Agate.

Akro

I like the swirls in this one. Any ideas?

It measures 5/8"

I'm getting a Vitro feel from this one.  Might help to see the other end.

This one measures about 9/16".... Does the size usually give a clue to the maker?

 

For this one, we see Akro Corkscrew without needing to think about size.  Sometimes a little smaller size might be a clue with a WV Swirl.  And if something is larger than 3/4" then that seriously limits who we might think of having made it.  If a WV swirl is coming in near one inch, you can be pretty sure it's Alley.   But Akro corks can also be one inch.   As were a few other makers over the years.   Vacor is well-known for making large swirls in the modern day.

What can you tell me about the "clay" marble except that it is beat up.....LOL. You can really tell these marbles were played with.

Just over 7/8"

 

 

That is a "lined crockery".  Also known as a "jasper".  Popular marble.  Not that easy to find.  I'm sure I have one with blue.  Not sure if I have one with both green and blue.  Used to have one with blue as the base and white lines, but sold it.  Won't sell the next one I find.  

I'll go WV swirl on #1 ... and maybe someone else will recognize that brown stripe and come up with a company name.

2. Peltier Rainbo.  Not Honey Onyx.  My general impression of a Honey Onyx is that it has more of a patch pattern.  

very serpentine

also like a creature swimming up from the depth

Just learned today that a French word for marble is "calot".  Plural "calots".  

Handsome

refreshing!

Do you have an anti-venom kit?
