The spongy white base glass is another possible Cairo Novelty tell. However, when I was learning the little bit I know about swirls, it also put Heaton into consideration. Also, I think of Cairo as tending more often toward simpler swirls so if the ribbon starts picking up a little busy-ness, that also makes me consider an alternative. So looking at this view my guess would be "Cairo Novelty or Heaton".

This intrigues me. Makes me think a marble I had down as "Imperial" could perhaps be moved from my Asian marbles to my Mexican.

Yeah ...

I was ready to nod along to Vitro. Ric's position intrigues me.

Not quite the topic, but it reminds me ..... I may be making this up, but I have a pretty strong memory of someone trying to get a marble ID for some of these.

I love clearies! The noble clearie which saved Vitro from going under when Japanese cat's eyes were storming the market!

^^ What Tommy said!

The bottom left was most interesting to me. It's why I hit "follow" yesterday. I was all the way from Akro slag to Jabo in my wondering.

Yeah, that finish stopped me from feeling really great about my Master lean. But if it's foreign it comes from a beautiful family and I want to see some of its close kin.

Yup! I missed that part. Yeah, my eyes went straight to the pic, not the words. And the pic did bear a superficial resemblance to the contours of your marble. So ... yeah.

Also, since you mention hues, which had not factored into my identification, the picture from the book appears to be a white marble with an opaque black patch. Such as this marble: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134538789806 ^^ that seller's title and asking price are highly questionable! LOL. But I liked the photo in my google results and I was in a hurry, and now I have to leave!

I see how you might consider these two views to match: However, the view of your marble is more detailed than the view from the book, and the view of your marble shows what to me appears to be an Akro patch's pattern and cutline.

Welcome!

based on this view, I'm leaning Akro.

Master to me

Vitro Conqueror to me. I've gotten used to the idea that they might not always be colorless inside.

Here's an article from yesterday not on Facebook. https://wvexplorer.com/2023/04/26/marble-king-wv-only-marble-manufacturer-in-us/

💕👍 Glad you have a gr8 nature and took my comment in stride. Fingers crossed.

Need a little more of a hint as to what part of Facebook.

The picture shows considerable damage on the German marbles.

Agreed. And there are Vacor patches without well-publicized names. I wouldn't be surprised if this belonged there. Which would put it in my second favorite category of Vacors.

Yes, they're top drawer.

With that blue, I do not recognize it as a Sunset. But I thought you might have an uncanny memory for an admiring comment I made about someone else's Vacor patches.

Beautiful 1930's Vitros Company name: Tri-Lite. As far as collector's names, I think the top right here is a Superior. I started to say all three were Superiors but I'm not so sure. I think we might have a Buttermilk on the left, maybe on the bottom also, but do wait for someone who actually knows to chime in. Older Vitro Marbles (Tri-Lites) (marbleconnection.com)
