Art and Rick, check out #35 again. I  thought agate at first, but then that bottom left view ... that sure looks like the end of a stream of glass to me.  

I mean it really really really looks like an Agate, moons and all.  But this little tail ....  Doesn't that look like a tongue of glass right there in the middle coming down from the top left?

The base glass is one trait. The brilliant red ribbon is the other Kokomo’s red glass is killer. At least I think so 🔥

That's the direction I figured people would want to go.   So I jumped in to hold the line and say "you have to get through me first!"  

Made on a Pelt machine, of course.  But was the machine in Illinois or Indiana?  I really don't know.  

No.  I think Burnt Sunset is closer to clear base and resembles the sunset's red and white ribbons, except some or all of the red would be brown to give it the "burnt" label.  

How's that for a lot of words when a single picture would have worked?

Christensen Agate.

I'm intrigued by the little tail which doesn't go with the tunnel in my mind.  But gotta be Chrissy, wouldn't you say?

(Is second marble I've seen today with both tail and tunnel ... fascinating.)

Keeper!

Yes, of course it does look Pelty. 

I know what people are going to want to say. 

What does it look like without the backlighting?

1.  If American, it might be an Akro slag.  The fingernail polish texture of the white makes me think it might be nonAmerican though.

2. A "clearie".  Practically impossible to narrow down to any one company.  A popular marble back in the day.  The Vitro Agate version of clearies helped save their company in the 1950's when Asian cat's eyes were having such a large impact on the American marble market. 

3.  Interesting.  One longish skinny patch?  I'm considering Peltier, but don't have a strong feeling about it.

4.  A real stone marble.   You can see from the many moons in it that someone played with it a lot.  

5.  I would call this another clearie, even though the backlight shows intersting color variations.

6. While this has similar coloring to #4, it appears to be glass.  Whatever it is, it looks special to me.  I'm thinking it could be an uncommon style from whatever company it turns out to be from.

7.  Master

1.  I'm leaning Christensen Agate (CAC) here.

2. The one clear seam that you are showing makes me think Master here.

#3 and 4 are swirls which I generally leave to others.  There were many West Virginia companies which made swirls, and a couple of U.S. companies in other states.   Alley Agate was one of the most prolific of the West Virginia swirl companies.  #4 could be an Alley. 

Pretty sure this is also an Asian cat's eye.   I would be surprised if it turned out to be Vacor. (Vacor is Mexican.)  

That "caged cat's eye" is also Asian. 

I usually refer to Vitros as being "caged cat's eyes".   I would call yours an Asian marble.  I wouldn't even generally call it a cat's eye.  Just an Asian marble.  But yeah, sure, I'll go with Asian cage style cat's eye. 


 

My first thought was Marble King.  I'm not inclined to go with Vitro.

And my first impression is also that it would  "modern" side.  But which decade?  I don't know.   "Modern" goes back pretty far now. That's a really big marble.  Maybe that would be a clue to someone for how old it might be.

Yes nice.  I am hurrying scurrying and can't think of a name right off.  Just wanted to let you know I admired!

19 Cage cat's eye

20 Fractured marble

21 I have a similar one with the brand "danone"..... then I show it. It's a beautiful blue-green 

22 Master

24 Cage cat's eye

25 Cat's eye Vacor maybe

26 Cat's eye asian

27 Vitro

29 Slag

30 Akro slag

31 Veiligglas  Wirepull  ( Amsterdam - Olanda)

32 Vitro

34 Marble in clay

     Here is the marble similar to the 21 .....

I'm not sure what to make of that Danone.   Mothra's #21 is a Vitro cat's eye.  

Your marble ... might be Vitro, but might be foreign.  The print looks like some old advertising marble print, but I'm guessing it's newer.  What I can't guess is whether it would be properly affiliated with some official  Danone brand or whether it would be from one of the companies which does unlicensed branding.  I don't remember ever seeing this one.  I like a good mystery.

@StephYou can delete the first two threads and I can breakup the combined version Mayonnaise jar of marbles if that’s easier?

We have three open threads right now, the original and parts 2 and 3.   People have commented in them, so I don't want to delete.   

Let's just go on from here.  People can still comment on your originals.  And you can add new threads with new marbles.  There are often a few hiccups as a new person gets their rhythm going.  Don't worry.  Let's just look ahead.

I’m not sure how to delete this thread I have compiled everything into a new one and labeled the photos… Mayonnaise Jar of marbles ID

 

I broke your original thread into three parts.  

Trying to put them all into one thread gets very complicated very quickly.   More people are likely to feel comfortable helping out if you have shorter threads.   

Let's have Mayonnaise Jar, part 4 and part 5 and part 6 and so on.  

 As I mentioned above, about six marbles per thread would be manageable.  Just something we've learned from years of trying to help with ID's.  Thanks. 

Very interesting.  Things one doesn't think about until suddenly one is required to.  A little advanced preparation for any one reading who might someday have to go through something similar.

I went back and numbered each of the photos to make it easier for everyone. Once I figure out all the types I’ll add the info to the photos for everyone. Thank you for taking the time….

Numbering certainly helps.

However, long threads still can get overwhelming even when the marbles are clearly numbered.  All that scrolling up and down.

Six marbles per thread would probably be a good number.  

Feel free to start as many threads as you want.   

Gotta go with transitional   

With a handgathered marble, one can usually identify a "top" and a "bottom" of the marble.  A "nine and tail" on one end and  "cutline" on the other end.   I think the top left image here is your cutline.  I still can't say I see the the nine-and-tail part.  But can't think of anything else it would be.  Sticking with Japanese transitional.

Could be accidental oxblood as  a byproduct of the green glass colorant.

I could not find any Imperial packages that had any Vitro looking marbles in them.  Most, if not all Imperial packaging, has "Packaged in xxx, Marbles from yyyy" (none with "marbles from USA") and similar wording.  I looked through my bags pics and did not find any Vitro type marbles.  I don't see MK either.  There are 4 vane cat's-eyes that are just like MK types but the packaging has Marbles from India or China...

This is compelling.  If you don't remember Vitros in Imperial packaging, that means a lot.

Yet my memory is so vivid on this. 

A puzzle.

@StephI’ll post some more pictures later today of the marble in hopes it makes it easier to identify. Would knowing the size help in anyway? I notice alot of people putting the sizes of the marbles in their entry. Thank you again.

Size can help a lot with some marble types.  With the very large and very small, the size can quickly narrow down the number of likely manufacturers.

I think I'm seeing a Japanese transitional on this one. From the early 1900's.  It's like an American slag but is distinctive enough that we can tell it is Japanese. I would actually like to see a couple more views to make sure it is handgathered as I expect it is.  But the glass texture and color are making me pretty confident about my guess. 

^^ some nice vintage marbles there.

Yet, I still lean toward the green one being a modern marble.  I'd guess that it was included in the mix because that's what most people would do -- put all their pretty marbles together in their one special marble place.

Imperial Vacors...thats what I would call this packaging or Vacor imperials would work for me too

^^ that's different and special because the marbles do come in the packaging.

They're exceptional and it's reasonable for them to be identified in an exceptional way, such as Imperial Vacors or Vacor Imperials.


But if we call just any loose generic Vacor an "Imperial Vacor" ... well, that doesn't make sense to me.
