What does that marble look like backlit?  Is the interior clear or does that slightly translucent looking white go all the way through?

Please see two new photos, per you’re request.

Thanks.   I'm strongly considering Akro Royal here .... 

As noted, the second is a Vitro.  Lemonades are Akros.  
 

Mojo posted a Lemonade here ... and a LImeade.

would the second one be a lemonade?

No, not lemonade.  

 

The scantily clad one is a Vitro Conqueror.  

I'm not yet sure of maker on the top.  Melissa could be correct.  I'm also considering Akro though.  More views of the area on the left and the right of the top photo might help me. 

Vitro Tri-Lite.  1930's.  

No collector's  name that I know of.  

This view says Peltier to me.  I don't know which marble this is.  Please do number.  Otherwise it is very easy to lose track.  But this particular view ... very Peltish. 

Also not a swirl.  Maker less obvious.  Possibly Peltier but wouldn't be surprised by Vitro or Marble King. 

I moved your 9/16" post over to here:

https://marbleconnection.com/topic/34702-916-marbles-split-from-12-blue-swirls-id-attempt-may-not-be-for-the-faint-of-heart

P.s., I think this is a Peltier Rainbo.  Not a swirl. 

Good morning.  12?  Would be best to split that many marbles up into multiple threads.  Three or four per thread is manageable.  

Also please post a number prominently at the start of each set of photos to help us keep better track of when you are switching to a new marble.  

Around age six I remember liking the look of the 1960's All-Reds.  And bumblebees.  Cat's eyes as well.  

I almost got to play some marbles when I was 11, but my mother wouldn't let me play for keeps so I had to turn down the invitation.    

Santa filled my brother's and my stockings with clearies in 1974 or 1975.  I would have been 12 or 13.     Teeny ones and big ones and everything in between.   I was mesmerized by those clearies.  

#2 Akro cork
#3 if vintage, I'll say Alley

#1 at that size, the options are limited.   Are you thinking modern or vintage?

#4 I'll guess a dug Akro

I already dated this one as from the 2003 3/4” run when I showed the pic

Of course.  Saw that.  Thanks.  Sorry for the awkward tag. 

Still wondering when 3/4" classics started being made.   That's something I always fudge and say a generic "1990's".

Are there any ideas what time line this could be from ? I guess I need to know when Jabo started making marbles🔥

Jabo started making their Classics in 1991, if memory serves.  Maybe @Nantucketdink could tell us when they started making the 3/4".  

 

My gut was with @boris64.   But I didn't have strong feelings and decided to just watch how things played out.

This is where I got Cairo stuck in my head--I put it there a few years back with this post.

It is similar to the OP just not similar enough. I have not seen another like it.

Ron straightened me out with this one.

Marble--On!!

Yeah, for the size, if vintage I would look toward Alley.   But without Ron   to tag in for a swirl opinion, who?

@Ric
@cheese

Don't want to leave anyone out. Mike, you seem a jack of all trades too.  Do you want to be on my swirl tag team?  @I'llhavethat1

So….Nantucket? Are you in a round about way trying to say I’m not telling the truth on the time line of my marbles? Can you clue me in on what you mean by Time Traveling Jabo ? 🔥

I don't think he's accusing you of lying.  I think he's just commenting on how new marbles have a way of creeping into old collections.  People can be convinced they're all old and still new ones managed to get it.  No lies involved.

I have a question for you -- when did your mother pass these along to you?

I have a question for Josh -- if you're seeing Jabo, do you have an idea of which year it might be?

And I have a question for everyone else -- what would your top three guesses be for this marble?  Even if your top guess is Jabo, what are two other makers it looks closest to?

 

Another possibility to research -- I just heard that it was said that marbles were blasted in coal mines to loosen the coal.   ???

My vote:

Jabo Classic with a piece of furnace brick inside.

The Crown Jewel. 1969 Minnesota Christmas present. I can’t script this. My Great Grandma who was basically blind called he over and handed me this marble wrapped in TP. The rest is mushy but it’s all because of one marble. 🔥

Wow!

It is possible there are some errors here.  Joe had the help of one of the greatest Vitro collectors of all, Chuck Brandstetter.    I don't know if that factored into his ID's of if there were mistakes made.  I guess I probably agree with you on the "Victory" moving over to the Conqueror section.  But it's possible the last marble would have come from Chuck's Tri-Lite collection. 

I'm not aware of Joe giving any sizes, so we can't know if the last marble was a shooter, for example.  

I know that Joe was going all out to meet his personal deadlines for getting the marbles ID-ed and online, which could have let more errors creep in.

 

We have lost both Joe and Chuck since the pages were published so can't ask what the logic might have been for those particular IDs.  



I would feel pretty good calling yours a Tri-Lite.  Not 100% sure but I think really good odds as I go through the later Vitro styles I know of.

Always Steph, with the patches.

Marble--On!

I accept the Akro consensus!  

With a translucent base, I don't expect it to be Marble King.  It still seemed to be at odds with yesterdays's Yellow Jacket group photo.  But on the Marble King version that I was thinking of, I expected a solid blue base under the red and yellow patches.  

So maybe a Marble King type I'm unaware of, maybe a Vitro Tiger Eye with colors I don't recognize, or ???

I was gonna spitball with something like Cairo Novelty but then I remembered the 3/4" size.  Cairo is low odds, and big Cairo is even lower.   

But hey, I'm trying here!
