  1. Agreed, a mix. They are around. Nice find! Here's one to compare with, a bit more showing.
  2. Creek/fish tank marbles. Solids and clearies with extensive surface wear.
  3. Torch stuff there. Some, like the Akro lifesaver, are correctly named but the messed up JABOs are ?? for IDs? Caution.
  4. Agreed, they are mostly transitionals but I see a Heaton Sweet Potato in there and maybe 2 other non-transitionals.
  5. a 1 1/4 inch Cosmic Rainbow made on the House of Marbles machine

    ID help

    Looks Asian to me.
  7. Normally I'd say not to polish unless the marble is so beat that it is trash and it would be nice enough to warrant the time or expense if it was polished. I polished this one by hand. It would never be appreciated again in the condition it was in, so I polished it and although now it's in polished condition, it can be displayed and appreciated. So I think it was worthwhile. For a common latticino core, not worth it IMO but someone else may have a different opinion. Which is worse, polishing it or tossing it in the trash? Either way it's never going to be an original surface top shelf marble again, so why not make it at least beautiful again?
  8. IMO made by Master and sold by Master, Alox, and Ravenswood. Roger Hardy also said Master when I visited him a few years back and the question was asked.
  9. Yeah that's a nicely covered Pelt. Older than the usual Rainbo I think.
  10. Could be Pennsboro.
  11. There is some size relation to swirls talk here https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=52143

    2 WVS

    Just for info, two dug Pennsboro Alleys. The left being closer to the one on the left in the OP.
  13. Dang I need to remember to check this thread more often Kille drizzle coral Ric, Great Cairo box Desouza!

    I think the right is Pelt and left is WVS based on the two views.
  15. I haven't read all the posts between the op and my reply but the first and last appear to be new.

    I agree with St. Mary's Alley.

    Alley?

    Lol it happens, I've kicked myself plenty too. Can't get em all. But you can sure try

    Alley?

    That first one is pretty killer! Second one is nice too. I would think they were pistachios but if the glow isn't there then they aren't. The first one I would have nabbed in a heartbeat even if it didn't glow. Still good marbles either way.
  19. I remember when you first came on and were showing those type marbles We were all saying they sort of look like Vitros but something's wrong. All we could say was "foreign". I see now you've got a name attached for the type. More marble pieces of the puzzle falling into place. Nice.
  20. Interesting. I recently found some Champion non-swirls too. They are sort of patch type, built more like a Master. I haven't taken photos or made a post about it yet, figuring I need to get all my facts and photos and ducks in a row before posting. I think it may have been a short and even possibly accidental production, with examples and info supporting that. When I get some time I'll post about them. I'll be looking for cateyes with relation to Champ now. I love marble collecting, so fun with new challenges and possibilities all the time.
