If you're looking to purchase, I personally don't see anything really worth the price of shipping except the big vitro with the peachy ribbon. I see a couple Alleys but in bad shape, not really collectible. The first is a common Vitro conqueror. The last is a JABO. I'd save my money and wait for something better. Buy quality. Whatever it is you like, get the good ones and they will hold value.

Seems related to the Japanese mushroom types.

Definitely some Vacors there. The roosters are often very nice quality.

1st is a Trilite, 2nd is a Victory, 3rd is a spoiled rotten

Ravenswood is a good bet.

No, these are folds in the glass. Finding a seam on a swirl can be tough and often times the seam, which is more commonly called a cut on swirls, is folded and inside the marble. They are much smaller on swirls, by nature of the way they are made. On non-swirls, think of a fat stream of glass getting cut into blobs, little tootsie rolls of glass that get rolled into spheres. You can see the places where that gob of glass was cut from the stream and those are the seams. On a swirl, think of a longer squirt of toothpaste rolled into a sphere. Where the ends are can be hard to find and might have gotten rolled up on the inside or just smeared out and unrecognizable.

Akro for me.

I sold this as a 21/32" Ravenswood, but...

Not Ravenswood. AV is *almost* unheard of in Ravenswood, although there are examples and in those it is incidental, not added like it is in the above marble. This is modern. -
Here are two groups of non-swirl Champions. They were pulled from groups of ~early 80s champions on two different occasions from two different places. The orange and yellows came in both swirl and patch types or whatever this type qualifies as. Just for reference. They are 9/16" to 5/8". The red ones are translucent in varying degrees. I thought they had to be Masters at first but there were no confirmed masters in the lots and the marbles they were in context with were newer than master (closed in 73) and there were swirls with identical glass and size included. One group found in Florida, the other in WV. Not sure if that's what you have but I figured I'd post about them since I brought them up earlier. Just now got the time to find them and take some pics.

I don't recall who this photo belongs to, but I saved it some time ago. There's a red one in the cloudy slot.
-
Yeah this is a vacor. Are these the pics I saw before, because I remember the discussion before... I'll have to go look for it. I can't imagine seeing these pics and thinking Alley but who knows, maybe I had some bad shrimp that day or something.

What size is this Ric? It looks a lot like some late Champions I recently ran across. It's apparent that in the 80s, they made some patch style or at least non-swirls. Mine are around 9/16" and also have a slight translucence like yours.

Looks RW to me too.
-
I lean that way.
-
That purple looks a bit like the Heaton blackberry color and several of those were found with drizzle. Not sure though. Hard to say when they are abnormal like this.
-
Lol yeah, I see what you mean but those are more just folds in the glass. Which is what a turkey head is too, but they usually have more of a turkey head shape than a simple loop.

Not all oxblood is from Akro even when it looks like Akro?

I see the JABO pattern in the box set, much simpler than the pattern in the OP marble IMO. -
Like Ric, I don't see any CAC traits, what Characteristics are you seeing that are Chrissy?

Did JABO make some like this in 5/8? I would have put this with my Alleys but the oxblood on white marbles can be pretty tough. -
I just haven't seen a Kokomo built close to that way before and it doesn't look like Kokomo glass to me. Here is one of Jessica Allison's trays of Kokomos with the white and red on clear for reference.

Yep, all 3 CACs. Nice!
