  1. Being buried can do odd things to the surface of glass. Give it a matte finish sometimes. Give it an abalone sheen other times. For example.
  2. I was waiting for the rest of the story.
  3. I clicked through on one of your earlier photos to get the most enlarged version and my current best guess is that the green is a cat's eye. Do you see it there in the middle? Looks like a cat eye with narrow vanes or a banana with ridges. So now I'm wondering if the surface contains green as it appears to do, or if that's all very complicated reflections from the green shape inside.
  4. Maybe Jabo. I think I'm seeing Jabo style hitmarks.
  5. I don't see signs of mica in the marbles. As Bill said though, that damage is quite effectively obscuring the interior. Hard to be definitive.

    Peltier ?

    1930's Vitro Tri-Lite Collector name: Superior
  7. ???? Add Master for consideration. ????
  8. It's not the most common pattern, but my best and only guess is Peltier Rainbo.
  9. Not quite so orange. That's more promising. I withdraw my query about the orange. However the top right still looks out of place.
  10. Clear base? No, not the particular Marble King that I'm thinking of. But I also wouldn't expect a Yellow Jacket to have a clear base.
  11. This one should be obvious to me, but my brain is getting mushy in my old age. I'm going to suggest Vitro.
  12. West Virginia swirl. I have seen some fluorescent Ravenswood game marbles, if I recall corrctly, but this marble appears larger than a game marble. So right now I'm considering Alley and Ravenswood but I'm not in the top 10 of the WV swirl people you'll find around the forums. Ron Shepherd was #1 but we just lost him.
  13. I think modern Marble King on the top right marble. I think the marbles with the white middles in the Yellow Jacket picture are doing double duty. Pretty sure that bin of marbles would have been more likely to be use to fill an All-Red bag than it was to end up in a Yellow Jacket bag. So don't be too sad. Also your original photo has some marbles in it with orange ends, not yellow. I would like to hear more about what the Vitro gurus think about that.

    Peltier?

    Okay, if you're seeing three ribbon colors, I am on board with MCR. However, I'm still not going NLR. I think the MCR period straddled the NLR and early Rainbo era. Some clearly have a meaty NLR era look and have been found in NLR era packaging. Your structure looks Rainbo to me.

    Peltier?

    Looks Rainbo to me. Not NLR. And I'm not seeing the "multicolor" aspect either. What colors are the ribbons?
  16. Oh yes, for sure Vitro Conqueror. What a difference the seam view can make.
  17. Yes, I'm going with Conqueror here. Can have different tints of the baseglass and still have Conqueror.
  18. Yes, it's the verbal component. That's why I mentioned it. "Phantom" makes the marbles sound more interesting. The name game is powerful. More rare marbles without special names fly under the radar. However, I actually would have this with my Conquerors without the name phantom. The white is mostly at the surface. If there are phantom strands in the interior they are well hidden.
