Said to date between 1880's & 1937

I am at a store that is selling some hand painted clay marbles said to be from this company. Does anyone know of these?

Lol I got that one already, but have only read a bit so far. I am slowly going down the book list here on the forum so that I can learn as much as I can. I appreciate all the help this forum offers me.

Don't apologize. I am here to learn

So then what would you call the marble in the picture from the book?

She definitely had some that were made recently, so that's why I was questioning them. I still have so much to learn that I don't want to be quick to judgement on anything and be wrong. I am definitely going to check out that book - after I read the akro book that is coming in the mail today:-)

I took the Blueblood auction down, if anyone knows what that might be, please let me know.

Thanks so much! I will update them now. I thought those were called all red blacklines, but in looking at similar posts, others were calling them blackies.

Got some good stuff for sale this week, a few akros, some vitros, a handmade divided core and a few other nice marbles. Please let me know if you see any errors in my listings, I try to be as accurate as possible but I am still pretty new to marbles. EBay username: sclsuindustries

Also, if it is a true 3 colors, I believe akro would have refered to it as a tri-color onyx (popeyes would be the collectors term)

This is what I refer to as an onyx. This is from "Marbles Identification and Price Guide" 5th ed. It may not be the correct term, but since I am still pretty new, I only use the terms I have seen.

From what I've read, an onyx had the wispy white with one other color. The Popeyes are refered to at times as tricolor onyx

The person had a mix of contemporary and old, but she didn't know enough to say either way which were which. I have read a couple books now on the subject, and picked these one because I had read that newer ribbon cores had ribbons closer to the surface. I was hoping they might be old, but I didn't want to say for sure with my limited knowledge

Popeyes were tri-color. This would be an onyx

I have a couple like these that I got with some I have identified as jabos. Could it be jabo as well?

I thought the akro moss agates were patches. I would say it's an ace

Would that be considered a left handed and a right handed twist? Or is that only a thing with hand gathered?

Another question. At what point is it considered cullet? Or is cullet distinct enough that the difference puts them in different categories?

I got a 4th one that seems more contemporary(better condition) and seems different from these 3. It is a latticino core though

Got these 3 yesterday, and while I think they are most likely contemporary, I figured I would get some opinions to see if I am correct. The smallest one looks to be a divided core swirl (solid core with 4 ribbons around it - the red and blue strands have a very slight space off the core) and the other two look to be ribbon core, although the middle sized one could be a divided ribbon, as I can't quite tell if the is a few gaps in the ribbon or it is a thin strand of a light color.

I guess I just wonder because I started with coins and baseball cards, where the errors are usually more valuable

I am sorting through my recent acquisitions and I have found several marbles that seem to be not quite round, like oblong or slightly flattened. I personally think they are less collectible for me, but I'm wondering what other people think.

I read that a lot of Heaton would glow in blacklight, but I don't find anything about them making marbles this size. Both measure 31/32"

I'm glad that everyone thinks it's real. This is my first box so I got pretty excited seeing it

I paid $25, but with all the other boxes being questioned, I figured it never hurts to ask
