For collages we will have to remember that we can click on it a couple of times and get it to enlarge. We can see how that goes. This marble is a Vitro hybrid cat's eye. It's from about 1960.

Welcome! Marbles are a slippery slope, indeed.

Well, there ... a brown one .... Set of 5 UV Uranium Glass Marble King Marbles/ Black Light Vaseline Glow in Dark | eBay

With glow under UV, then that pushes me to Marble King. Look up the Marble King Wee Glow style. I don't know if it came with brown patches, but that's now my best guess.

That is a pretty crazy light effect. Totally unfamiliar to me. Marble King or Vacor would be my guess for the marble. There is a marble that I got from a Vacor assortment set which was very reminiscent of MK patterns. I have no idea what it looked like with a light shone on it. And I don't know if I still have it in any identifiable Vacor grouping. Also since it's not a well known Vacor version, if I don't find the one I had before then I have my doubts that I'll ever see another with provenance. So I just mention now that I saw a Vacor once upon a time which your marble reminds me of.

And someone is bidding on it.

What he said

The bottom right may be an Akro Moss Agate. Not seeing much of it so it's possible that other views could turn it into something else. But from this one view it looks like an Akro Moss Agate.

I split up the Any ideas? thread where I could. Rather than add new groups of marbles onto a thread where there has already been much discussion, it is better to start a new thread. Also, it is better to have smaller groups in each thread. A greater percentage of marbles will get ID-ed if you only have a few marbles per thread.

I love the look of clearies. And the clearies helped Vitro stay open in the 1950's when American marble companies were struggling with the popularity of the new cat's eyes which were coming over from Japan. So historically important too!

.... but that IS what the colors reminded me of.

Welcome. We'll do our best to help.

Vitro Tri-Lites. I don't know if they have any other name.

It certainly would be more than "near mint". If the flaws ARE indeed as made, then of the available terms to describe it "mint" would be the only apt term that I know of. So I would have no problem with saying "mint" followed by a description of the as-made flaws.

Hello. Welcome. I am pretty sure I have seen these ID-ed as Master by reputable collectors. The colors are so bright I wonder if it could be something else. But Master is the best option I have at the moment.

How old is this guy? When was he a kid? If he was a kid in the 70's/80's I suppose they could be from then. But they could also be from last year. Modern Asian.

Absolutely Imperial no doubt to me

I think it could be a Vacor Sunset. Here are most of mine. Quite a range of variation within the basic color pallette.

I think predominantly modern. For example, I believe this to be one from my favorite Vacor style. A Sunset. I also think Vacor on the blue-based ones you highlighted.

I think Marble King Beach Ball on the first. I also am unsure on the second.

Aw, granbaby time. Sweet.
