    Not sure. Could be Peltier Rainbo.

    Another one which looks sort of Peltier and sort of Japanese. No wait, it could be another Vitro Conqueror. Yes, I think that's likely.

    Not sure from these views.

    Not 100% sure from these views. Best guess from what is showing is Peltier Rainbo.

    Vitro Tiger Eye. 1950's marble. This might be the most valuable one you have shown so far. It's not a high dollar marble though.

    You could still try to get some ID's. I don't mean to chase you away. And it's possible that in the marbles we haven't seen there is a higher dollar item. So far I haven't seen one but I'll still do a quick spin through your other threads to try to give you some names.

    I don't know why I said, "Japanese marble of that size", since I don't know the size. I probably meant "style" not "size" when I typed that. I just mentioned this in the other thread but maybe you could put them in lots of 20 or what-not. Vintage assortments.

    Maybe you could post them on your site in groups.

    If it were an inch that's when it might start taking on more value. So, right now, I'd have it in with my other "commies". ("Commie" is one of the names which clays went by in the olden days.)

    You're showing what I think of as the sides of the marbles. Where the ribbons meet at the top and bottom is what I find most useful for making an ID. My first two guesses with the views shown are Master and Vitro. The lack of color and the condition issues likely make this one of those 5 cent marbles.

    That has a sort of Vitro look, but I do not recognize the color combo. I wonder if the red is oxblood, but that doesn't seem likely. So I don't have a guess for the maker. It appears to have condition issues.

    Not enough views for me to feel comfortable guessing.

    This is a sort of Rainbo style marble (like a Peltier Rainbo). However, I suspect it might be Japanese. It has condition issues. I wouldn't have a guess for value of a Japanese marble of that size. When a marble is not mint, it can cut the value by half or more.

    Cat's Eye. My first thought is 1950's Japanese. The base glass is clear enough that it might have a chance of being American. If you wanted to post it for $1, you might eventually find a buyer. In general a single-color four vane cat's eye will be worth less than that. Again, perhaps only a nickel. Oh yes, again, what is the size? If it is a larger marble you could ask more.

    Hello again. That looks like clay or stone. How heavy is it relatively speaking? I don't think this marble would have a value which would make it worth the cost of shipping. We could be talking about 5 cents. Lack of visual appeal makes old earthenware and clay marbles not that valuable in general. Being candid here because you sound like that is what you want. p.s., what size is it? Larger marbles could be worth more even when they are plain.
  19. I think we saw this before, didn't we? Pictures much improved from what I remember. Still looks kinda like a toy ball to me.

  21. I compiled a list once of different things people suggested. Posted it here, http://marbleconnection.com/topic/7149-removing-rust/, and there are additional comments and caveats there too.
  22. LOL @ the almost marbles sequence. The dodo pic is profound .....
