No, those appear to be Vacors.

I'm not sure, maybe some of those are black cherries. There are Heatons that are very close to a black cherry but the glass on the cherry is better looking and the lines are well defined. The ones in the lower row definitely are not. I do see a volcano in the group though.

Vitro wasn't making all-reds before the war, but they were making marbles with red on one pole or a red ribbon on one side. Trilites were one of those types and they did usually have a lot better red on them. The colors on all the machine made marbles got weaker and cheaper as time went by. The war was pretty much the turning point for that.

A few different groups

Killer Alley Marboman! A Halloween from Alley Pennsboro.

2 Alleys and a JABO.

Marboman and Massmarbler, those are not snotties. The snotty has a yuck brown/tan/yellow opaque ribbon in transparent colorless base glass. Any other color transparent swirl is something else as far as I know.

Heatons are good for a lot of "C"s, "G"s, and "D"s. Here is one with oxblood, no single pic on file but it's the top middle view. A "G".

Thanks! Yes, I've been calling this one "lava flow" and made a photo to match a few years ago.

May have been in a house fire. I've found ones at old house sites with weird surfaces like this.

I agree with Alley. No ox though.

Lots of "advertising" bags too. Bags that say "Tydol" and "Wendy's" and "Texaco" and that sort of thing... fresh of the printer. Sold as vintage to unsuspecting buyers. Fake Comic marbles, fake logo marbles, modern sulphides, and so-on. Thankfully most are easily recognized with a little bit of study and familiarization right here on actual marble forums. The best places to learn about marbles on the internet. (Better is face to face hands -on).

Thank you! It was a gift marble to boot!

A sharp Ravenswood.

I'd like to see them as well.

Absolutely. Lots of them sold by unscrupulous sellers.

I would call it Asian also, not knowing who made it, or when, or 100% for sure that it is Asian. It just has the look that matches in my mind with other known Asian marbles. If we withhold an answer when we don't know beyond a shadow of a doubt, then very few marble identification posts will get answered. Especially when it comes to lesser known foreign types. Green tint to the transparent glass and vanes and streamers from pole to pole, I think Asian. Clear un-tinted or light blue tinted glass and lots of strands from pole to pole, I think European. Might be wrong occasionally but I think that's right most of the time and that's about as good I can do based on the knowledge I have. When I was working hard on the swirls (still am), I decided to force myself to name a maker for every one. It's too easy to say "I don't know" and move on to the next one, but that didn't help anything. So now if I think it's 55% chance of Ravenswood and 45% Alley, I say I think it's a Ravenswood. That's the same thing I think most of us do with these foreign types... go with what it feels like and give an answer because that's better than leaving a member with an unanswered question. I don't think it's based on any discovery of new foreign types or anything, just what matches best.

Good Job Josh, I was leaning Vitro FWIW... would have been wrong.

Pretty sure this is a magic marker marble, one of the decorated media balls that are sold as old clay marbles.

Pics 2 and 5 really do look like JABO to me. I'm seeing possibilities of the Exotic conquerors like I'llhavethat showed too, but I have never seen a Vitro exotic shooter that I recall? I'm not making an ID for sure so that I'll have a back door to escape out of . Here are some photos of my exotics to compare with, all these are 5/8i" though. The larger vitros almost always are wilder.

Thanks Chad, here are a couple more. Just took some pics last night.
