The modern lapidary mineral spheres are not worth much. The older agates that you can see were done by hand with tiny facets and flat trails that can bee seen with close and careful inspection have value.

Yeah neither are Jewels. Facebook is full of incorrect marble info. It's really hard to know what to listen to there.

Very nice, and you are correct about them all being from the same maker. Nice to find a group of CACs like this. Generally when they come like this in an old dirty lot, they have come out of a box set and stayed together all this time. A collector with a box they are trying to fill would be ecstatic to have a chance at a group like this. Keep em together!

Jewel is a Peltier name but this looks nothing like one. I would suspect the one you already have if it looks like this.

I IDed it as RW

RW

Sistersville IMO

Modern MK.

Ravenswood. Something is bad wrong with your background removing program.

Sure Art, there's nothing for me to back off of, I wasn't on the offense. I was just thrown off track by the comment and wondering what I was missing, knowing that Alan knows about batch glass and all. There was no confrontational attitude meant to be conveyed in my reply, just a genuine question. My reply isn't edited unless I came back to add the part about the translucent/opaque qualities right after I submitted my reply, and Alan's looks the same as when I first saw it too. I'm confused I guess, not sure what happened here. Whatever it was, I was just wondering what information Alan had because I had conflicting information. These forums are text only, and text can be read a lot of different ways. Hopefully everyone knows me enough by now to know that while I may be frank sometimes, I'm not one to jump in confrontationally.

Who claims that vintage makers didn't use batch glass? While it could be oven brick, I have seen these with translucent speckles just like this, and oven brick would be totally opaque.

Me too 👍

Snow Globe is right. Mica is a rock that was used in handmade marbles and a very small number of experimental newer machine mades. This is probably undissolved potash or something like that.

Alley

Normal tiger eye.

I lean that way a little but can see Alley too.

Another RW.

Looks RW if 5/8" ish

Left is Peltier.

Correct on the banded lutz. They call them opaque for some reason even though they are translucent. Condition keeps it from having significant value IMO. Get another opinion since handmades aren't my forte, but to me this would be under $50.

You can sorta see a couple on the right side of this photo of Jessica Allison's Kokomos.

Exactly this ^^

2-3 thousand marbles sounds like a lot maybe to a new marble person but it's a very small sample to draw from for different examples. As mentioned at AAM, it's best for you as a seller to not try to make all these common marbles into big financial wins for you. The people who are doing free IDs for you are also the very same customers you are trying to sell these to for inflated prices and it doesn't settle well. Just FYI. From our perspective, you just put 4 marbles like we have in our junk jars up for $100.

A harder to find Kokomo.
