Second one might be a Salazar. I can’t remember his first name. It might be Ed. Or it might be a House of Glass marble where several Artists worked🔥 RAR -

We need to see the pontils that have initials on them if there are any🔥 RAR -
That’s a Tweener Sunset Rainbo. The thin wide ribbons are one of the Tweener traits to look for🔥 RAR

Jabo Classic. Pic 4’s butt crack and Pic 5 and 6 shows the cutter pull pattern is what I’m basing my ID on🔥 RAR

Funky ! They look aquatic to me if that makes sense. The patches seem to flow and are softer vs. being striated 🔥 RAR

It’s my understanding that ribbon construction can determine is a handmade is German or English. Here are my examples and am wondering if I understand this is correctly. Any ideas🔥 RAR

Whoever you inherited these from had a very good critical eye for Contemporary marbles made by very well established Artists. Sometimes less is more. My favorite is the Clamsbroth. Could post a pic of that showing the other pontil? I’m curious to see how symmetrical it is to the other one. The 3rd one is off the charts. That pattern can get sloppy in a nanosecond 🔥 RAR

Ah…..l thought moldy was a trait. Kind of like chalky or molted🔥 RAR

These could be Wisplers. The seams don’t that as an aggressive V cut as per Master and Akro. 🔥 RAR

Tricky. I’m getting Foreign Pat h vibes. Let’s see if that stick. The crystal clear base glass is a very nice bonus IMHO🔥 RAR

Yep. I appreciate the fact that you trust my ability to ID Pelts. But there are numerous Members that are just as well versed as I am. I would feel better if you don’t just call on me in the title of your threads. I have sent PM’s to Members sometimes to take a look at one of my marbles. But I only do this if I haven’t gotten any responses in a day or 2🔥 RAR

I’m not sure anneal fractures keep a marble in the mint range. I myself wouldn’t sell a marble with anneal fractures and rate it as mint. I have a Superman that has an anneal fracture but only visible under 30X loupe. It was listed as mint 9.8 The Seller didn’t know it was there when she listed it. I kept the marble. She sent me a nice mint MCS and we called it even. I think that was fair considering I spent $225. As far as I know there is no official “chart” that breaks down the defects and categorizes them in away that you can determine the grade. All in all I still think it’s a gray area. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be appreciated🔥 RAR
