Ravenswoods with roller rust and similar coloring

who sees the roller rust? Huge tell that its a Ravensood with these colors even if you cant tell the difference between the Champs and Ravenswood with similar colors to these.

Its not sounding my JABO memory, but It could still be. Vitro is my guess.

Cody-how big is this one?

something else

I agree great providence for sure…but the provenance is what I am worried about.

They are next to impossible to find as Alox marbles. The JABOs with the same colors in that size are much easier to find.

a sampling of some German striped Transparents

Nice slags. German Slags only come in a few colors. Shades vary within those colors. German striped Transparents and opaques come in a myriad of different color combos.

You have mostly 2005 JABO Classics in your pic. Yes classics can most definitely be identified by when they were run. Part of the fun is properly identifying them and sorting them into their runs.

2004 JABOs that match

Could be from 2004. Showing the other JABOs it came with will likely help verify the run. There are also Champions that appear quite similar.

I do not believe its a JABO either

No buttcracks, huh? Those 2 simple flops you see on both sides of the marble are still buttcracks. They are just not perfectly formed.

The marble had to have a starting snip/cut and a stopping snip/cut. All machine made marbles are going to have 2 seams where the glass gets sheared off. It’s not like only patch structure marbles have 2 seams…they are just more obvious where they are.

Just for clarification, one can refer to all frosted marbles as matte, but not all matte marbles were frosted (at the factory).

this is what we refer to as purple oxblood. It happens when some type of transparent blue glass is over oxblood

As I suggested elsewhere the first step to familiarizing yourself with a run is to fully seperate all of your marbles from a run into the different color families. Typically my steps include first into larger color families, next into specific different color families, and for this run separating the lutz swirls out within the specific exact color combo. After you have them fully broken down, match them up with each numbered group and label them. Even as an investor, it’s possible you might be missing a variant.

I know you are saying Edna didn’t include them all here. Please share the ones you can’t match up right here and I would be happy to show you where they are included here (or I could be astonished you have some super rare ones that nobody else had…but highly doubt it)

Edna did a great job of documenting them all right here in the thread

do you want to know what your tan base marbles are...or are you truly interested in the various companies that used transparent peach glass?

I recognize that colorscombo. Heaton I believe unless remembering wrong

There are quite a few that got named individually but not many by Dave himself
