Pretty sure I have puzzled over this marble before. Pretty sure I first saw it before DAS came into existence. At least well before the Wildflower run.

Oooooooh

Now I encourage you to start a new thread for each small group. Love the car.

Yes, too many at one time. Sorry. The problem is made worse by the difficulty in pointing out which picture we're talking about. One of the groups of three would have been okay for a thread. Then we could say "top, left, right". That said, in the first photo, the bottom left looks like a Vacor Blue Macaw. In one of your groups of you have a peach and white marble at the bottom right. That would be Master. In the group of five, the red, yellow and black one may be a Vacor Twister.

I'm seeing WV swirl on the second #8. And WV swirl on #1. On #3, I could go either vintage swirl or modern Vacor. Yeah, Jabo sounds good on #5, especially if it's a big one. Certainly considering Jabo on #7.

#9 is pretty. Maybe Champion? Might be a little too close to "single color" to be sure in the end.

#2 I think that is Japanese marble. One which is sometimes called a mushroom marble. Leaning that way on #6 also. #4 ... size? First thought was Master. #10 Master Thanks for putting fewer marbles in the thread today. Makes it easier for folks to jump in and try to take a shot at id-ing.

beautiful little piece! and the history lesson is great too.

Art touched all my thoughts on the blue one. I'd like to see the red one in different light.

Yes, "solids" or "game marbles".

I like it! "Displays well".

I'm getting a newer feel from the top one. Thinking Vacor. I think vintage on the bottom. Not Pelt though. I'm thinking Vitro. Akro would be my second guess, but I'm going pretty solidly Vitro.

The base glass could also be Master.

The long seam and yellow looks a little Akro-y. But it isn't locking into place for me.

With the long seam and the faint white ribbons occurring on both sides, I could see why you might think of Peltier. The long seam takes me away from my first Master thought. Right now I am leaning toward Vitro.

Maybe Master?? Not quite able to make out what's on the surface. A view with less light inside the marble might help.

I'm glad you mention this. I thought about African beads and about them maybe not having been made in Africa, but couldn't remember any details about where they came from.

Thanks, John! Someone else to tag if I can remember. And thank you, Alan.

Found. This really is a "what happened to your cat?" marble .... Edit: It has been tentatively id-ed as a Bogard.

Interesting. I have one with similar colors. And mine is also an interesting one because it's a "single seam" cat's eye. I find the colors ... let me say, unfortunate. I wish my single-seamer had more eyecatching colors. Will go look for a pic ....

*moving to the main chat subforum to maybe get more eyes on it*

@Alan, are you in the neighborhood?
