Steph

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the lovely thought, Chad.

Beautiful

The color combo in the first made me think of Heaton ....

I do not see Jabo on either. That "buttcrack" which Mojo mentions on the first looks more like a "turkey head" to me. Not saying CAC Turkey. But I would sure have thought at least WV swirl on that one.

I like that Sharp Shooter Marbles bag. That's the most interesting item to me. I would personally bid $20 on it if I had the chance. For the Globos Marmeln, I might be willing to pay over $10. I guess I might go $5 per bag for those other bags. I wish I could make out what's in the yellow mesh at the bottom. The German one is common but looks like it may be a good size, which I would also be willing to pay up to $20 for but I might be overpaying as far as current market value. Now that I'm about ready to post, I see Chuck's answer, and it completely matches what I expected a seasoned collector would say. I was trying to give an answer from the point of view of someone without a large collection already. And Chuck addressed that also. P.s., I really do like that Sharp Shooter bag header.

On the right bases on the color and the seam, I think Vitro or Marble King. On the left, I don't know. My first thought was borderline vintage Asian, but I don't feel strongly about that.

I'm actually wondering about Anacortes Vitro on all of them.

I'm thinking Jabo or Anacortes Vitro on this one:

Interesting find. I am not familiar with that book or author.

Interesting that you think so. I thought the glow would get more people thinking Pelt. But you're the pelt head and you've moved over to Akro. Gotta take that seriously.

As an aside, it's interesting how some of your pics show a clear base and some suggest a more translucent base. A demonstration of what a difference lighting and other conditions can make.

Sunbursts were a distinct style when introduced in 1930 by Master Marble. Tommy's Tiger Eye fits into that early era. After a few years Master Marble styles started become more fuzzy. They didn't match the advertising definitions anymore. I don't even try to put the Sunburst name on most of the marbles from the late 1930's though I know many of our collecting comrades do. Then in 1941 Master reorganized as Master Glass. Your marbles are from the Master Glass era. Far separated in time from anything I would try to fit under the Sunburst umbrella. I have absolutely no idea what the company's name for them was. It might indeed have been Cat's Eye since they did sometimes appear in Cat's Eye packaging. But at near an inch, with all that color they're much more special than the run of the mill Master cat.

Though I have seen them in bags labeled Cat's Eye. I don't think they're "just Master cats". I could be wrong. Maybe that's the name Master always intended to sell them under. But the typical Master cat as a single color in the clear base.

I think that Akro is a Prizename, possibly the one with a collector's name of "Blood and Bones". The Peltier is a Rainbo. The closest possible name I can think of for it is a Bloodie. Center looks Jabo.

But that makes TWO of you. So now you're EVEN.

Schweeeeet Congrats!

Seeing Chad's screenshot with the third photo, I have to say cool box indeed!

Master is a good guess. Estimate 1950's. Not Tiger Eye, which is from the early 1930's.

This view looks Jabo-y to me. Also, need to check the base glass on the possible Bruiser to be sure between Pelt and Jabo.

First of all, nice find. For myself, the two color vane is interesting but detracts from the cross-through. I want nice clean separation in my colors. I've seen that kind of coloration on other Asian cat's eyes. I would call it "hybrid". I personally wouldn't use the word proudly in this case. So, nice marble. Hard-to-find style. The hybrid vane on a hard-to-find style might count as "rare" but I don't objectively know how "rare".

If that were American my first choices would be Vitro and Akro. Do we have any reason to think American though?

the pictures aren't working for me.

Yeah. Backlit photos don't always tell the tale. So maybe you still see some orange in hand which isn't showing up in the pic. But without the orange "fire" in the base glass, then no to Realer. I'll go with Peltier though, from the 1930's.

I'm with Pelt. What does the base look like when backlit? If the white base turns orange when light shines through it then we start thinking about Acme Realer.

Here's our standard image of the patent, where someone added the color illustrations. (I don't know who.)
