Celery! Bleagh!

They were Alley for awhile. But then they went back to being Akro. Even though they were found in Alley digs.

Good find. I've moved the thread to the Archives.

Jabo Scalawags?

Congrats on getting your Badgers.

Definitely on the right track. I'm seeing some Vitro Blackies though mixed in with the All Reds. The ones with the black around the center, but matching color patches on either end. For example: Two blue patches. Two green patches. Two yellow patches. Two white patches. Also, if it looks like an All Red, with the white center but two different colored patches and neither patch is red -- that would probably be a Tiger Eye. I thought I saw one of those but now I'm not finding it again. Might be a couple of other patches out of place. In the top left corner of the All Red picture, about four marbles down from the top, and one over from the left, there's an interesting light green patch which I'm guessing might not be Vitro.

I just opened a door onto a new area of collection I never thought much about before. Hubby is going to be thrilled.

Glass beads may be a good lead. My brain is already beginning to get over the quest to find pieces exactly like the glass-looking candy. And it's starting to realize some other shapes could fill my unexpected need for small non-marble glass art. Some pretty beads here. But the shell art further down the page took my breath away .... https://beadoire.com/

"Whimsy" is another possible search word which comes to mind, but it's not getting me as close as I hoped it would.

Here's some crazy realistic stuff .... 7 pages of it https://www.zfolio.com/collections/glass-candy

My first thought is Peltier. But I see why you might consider Vitro. I'm sticking with Peltier for now. I'm hopeful it's a Christmas Tree but I will defer to the Keepers of Collectors' Names.

If these were glass, what would you call them? They're chocolates. But now they make me want to own pieces of glass that look like them and I don't know what to search for.

I think they have a great chance of being German. But now you have me curious about what a Japanese clay marble looks like. Maybe show them off in their own thread?

omg, yes they would. The wooly marbles would definitely earn "played with" status.

Too cool not to share. The creation of Heike Conroy who described them thus when she posted them on Facebook: Happy Saturday to all,,,,some " Wooly Mibs",,,Needle felted vintage Marbles,,,Swirls, Sparklers, Chinas, Marble Kings, Vitros, Akros etc.... having fun learning about Glass Marbles, while creating their Counterparts in Wool.

I can't place it, new or old. I really need to pull out my books that would re-teach me about older ceramics.

Big brother watching out for the littles?

My first impressions are Jabo, Fried Marble, Vacor

Saw an ad for this on facebook ... had to share Turing Tumble - Build Marble-Powered Computers (upperstory.com)

If Imperial, I am going to call it a very special one with that beauiful transparent base.

Thanks for sharing!

Alley on top Master or Vitro on bottom? Maybe? The lavender is intriguing me.

Hi. Vacor Cardinal.

Yeah, my choice would have been between Spider-Man and Superboy.

I'm fierce.
