I'm thinking Jabo, which would mean not a slag.

But I'm not 100% sure.  The big beautiful pictures show a lot more detail than I'm used to noticing in a Jabo Classic.

Jabo

I still can't place it.  Am considering Vitro.

I don't see Asian.

I would be asking Jabo or Champion .... and I don't know the answer. 

Maybe more views on the green and yellow could help.  

 

One vote for normal Pelt Rainbo.

Who likes tapioca pudding? It’s wrong. Looks like a bunch of Pop-Eye goldfish eyes floating around in something that doesn’t look right. 

Tapioca pudding was better when I was a child.  Before society said we would die if we consumed uncooked eggs.

Glass companies definitely deliberately used the names of stones to try to make glass marbles sound more like  children's beloved stone marbles.

In 1930 in America, a lawsuit was filed with the government  by the onyx industry to force some glass companies to stop calling their products "onyx".   The suit was successful.  Akro still used the name onyx for awhile after that.  Not sure why they got away with it, but they didn't keep doing it for long.  

The stone aventurine was named after the glass aventurine  -- did you know that?  

Aventurine glass was discovered and named in the 1700's.  

Agree with Akro


Another one that I think would have been put out under the company name of "Moss Agate".

But modern collectors do indeed use the name "Ace" for some of these nonpatches with mossy bases.  

P.s. I'm  only assuming non-patch here.   I can't tell from the orientation of the photos.   If it's a patch marble, then flat out Moss Agate.

Art, I agree that your marble is a Popeye.

Hmmm, I feel a challenge here. I am up for it though.

I am not married to any marble. They are after all, just a round piece of glass.

PM me and it is yours--i only have one.

Marble--On!!

I was referring to Jeremy's  marble.   The one in the first post.  

My first thought was that it was a marble that Akro would have called a Moss Agate.  And then lighting up as it does additionally nailed it down as a Limeade in my mind.

What I'm seeing is a marble that Akro sold as a Moss Agate and that collectors call a Limeade.  

At least that's what I thought I saw, until I saw so many other collectors not seeing it!


 

x3 on no Pelt.

However, the right one might be a Marble King.

 

Yeah, multicolor on the last marble, not a sunset.  For sure "not just a rainbo" there!

So, who made cherry red glass?
Would that be Vitrolite or Fenton cullet in the ribbon?  
Who did 3/4" marbles on a wide enough scale to make them a good choice to consider for a random marble ID.


To me, Jabo looks like a really good guess, but maybe we could learn something about those questions ..... 

p.s., I think some people call it a sunset also with orange and white ribbons or yellow and white ribbons.  Not sure about that.  But am sure about red and white.

thanks. clear makes sunset?

 

Red & white ribbons in a clear base, usually with bubbles.

(because it's sort of random so it's not calling out any other maker's name, plus Akro made the most slags)

Looking Akro from here.

Here's mine. 

Yes, a rainbo.

No, not just a rainbo. 


Peltier Sunset.  

Someone posted something they called a Vitro on facebook j with a thin blue ribbon like that.  And I could totally see Vitro there.   (Sorry, I can't find the picture now.   Posts are too easy to lose on Facebook.) 

The texture/shade of that green might be what is hanging me up.  

Now you've done it, Ric!

I was trying to avoid throwing other maker suggestions in there, but I thought of it!
