The blue whitish one doesn't glow. I have some white ones similar to the last one in that thread. This is the one that glows....

Thank you so much. I'm so grateful there is someplace to talk about marbles. My friends and family think I'm nuts.

 

 

What about Vaseline glass transparent swirls? Common throughout the various makers? And I have this one that looks like a transparent popeye. Blue and white. (If that's even possible) I've been trying to photograph it. 

Here is That transparent one that reminds me of a Popeye without a third color. The white corks. It's weird. In a nice way.

I seem to fall for the hard to identify ones. I call it the tidal wave.

That's right.  Big, and I mean big, black hole of uncertainty.  But keep them.  At some point we might make progress on these.  Figuring out what things are, is where is all starts.

Are they more ribbon like or vane like?

I'd say ribbon like.

Hmmmm ... how about drawing a little farther away for a little more focus ... and for me stalling ....

 

Or, how about putting it underwater ... something to highlight the inner structure.  

The water trick is pretty nifty. 

This luscious Orange thing....creamsicle....

This shooter is almost an inch, mostly clear, red,green and blue patches of color.

They are in my group shot.

Swirl? Cats eye thing? And are those black strands running with the ribbons horse hair oxblood?

Group shot

Transparent rainbos? Cats eyes? The pictures show five different marbles....oh god...let's see if I got this straight...the first two pix are one aquaish clear base, then 3 blue base ones. And one clear 38th one white ribbon That barely goes inside, compared to the others.  Ty!

For the blue/green, here's an idea why I'm thinking Akro ... 

 

 

A lot more Tri-Color pics showing range of variation:

I see...there were some on that thread that makes me rethink some out....it does seem a little different than the blue and red.

I'm wondering about Akro on the marble at the very back.

The marble near the back but in the center row is a Vitro Conqueror. 

 

Hmmm...patch?

Agree with the likely Vitro  ID.  I find the transparent yellow as interesting as the coppery side.  Nice.

I have to agree. This one is in the keep pile. The rest of these must be vitro as well? Do they have a name?

This has got to be the prettiest in this bunch. I'm thinking vitro?  It looks like copper.

This one comes from outer space.

They look somewhat like peltier rainbo bloodies, and I seem to see them everywhere. Did anyone else make something similar? There are just so many of them and some that seem like them.

Blue boys should be a transparent blue base,  Have you backlighted it

Yes. It is blue. It surprised me. Pretty cool how light can change everything about the marble. I'm just in awe of these little trinkets. : )

That is a marble king blue boy

That works, he has friends. But I didn't show you the "lips". Haha!

Are these maybe sunset rainbos? I'm looking at Alan's marble page and I might have some rainbo bloodies too.

Well spotted - I was focused on the patch on the left one.

Shell - Is the ribbon on the middle one black? It looks black in the first pic on my monitor, but dark blue in the second. 

It seems blue on the outside light.never really noticed.

Also ... on the middle one ... is the blue/black the ribbon on a yellow base?  ... or is the yellow the additional color on top of a blue base?

To my uneducated eye it seems the yellow is an add-on.

These darkies. Have I thanked all of you for looking and commenting? Thank you!!!
