Value always depends on how you feel about the marble. I always say. A marble is only worth what it just sold for. The only way to preserve the monetary value of a marble is to put a reserve bid on it. If it hits the reserve bid then you’re good with that. If not then you get to keep in your collection.🔥 RAR

Nothing. There’s no Fish Eyes so it wasn’t fired on the trays like Bennington’s. That’s the mystery I’ve never been able to figure out. There’s no indication that they’ve been burnished as well. But there does seem to be a type of pontil on both ends. So they may have been spun and glazed like a cane and hung in the kiln and are attached by a very small piece of porcelain. I have no clue if I’m right. But I think I just figured it out🔥 RAR

The first one is special but I need some help with it. I believe it’s not a German marble but is actually Asian. I’ve been under the impression that these are made out of porcelain. If so. Any piece of porcelain has to be made in a sterile studio/factory. I was an Art Major and unfortunately most of my ceramic pieces blew up in the kiln. Kinda funny since I like kiln brick “Space Junk” in my Pelts🔥 RAR

Outstanding 🔥🔥🔥 RAR

Tough one. But the large patch and and single ribbon plus the glow is a Kokomo go for me🔥 RAR

Darn it. I was going to say a blank piece of paper on the OP🔥 RAR

There’s one thing for sure here. Your Grandpa had a very good eye and taste for marbles when he was a kid. I’m guessing he grew up in 30’s-40’s. He had a little bit of everything🔥🔥🔥 RAR

Not a Mushroom. Maybe a Lazy Cork. We’ll see what others think🔥 RAR

Nice WVS 🔥 RAR

That’s an Asian Imperial 🔥 RAR

🔥 RAR

Butt Crack is a Jabo trait🔥 RAR

Yes. 3 Akros🔥 RAR

That is a MK but I don’t know the ID name. Someone will 🔥 RAR

I’m going with Jabo. Pic 5 shows the Jabo Butt Crack🔥 RAR

Nice find Melissa. I felt bad when I missed the ID on the one you posted that had the dark blue patch instead of black🔥 RAR

Really really nice Kokomo 🔥 RAR👍

I would put those with my Pelt Cats Eyes🔥 RAR

Oh snap! Kokomo all the way. Great example for sure🔥 RAR

Nice Vitro Tri-Lite🔥 RAR

Very odd/weird Vitro. Definitely need more opinions on this one🔥 RAR

Yep ! That’s a really nice sloppy twisted up Rainbo. I’m tempted to say MCR🔥 RAR

I’m on the Vitro boat. I’m not seeing any Pelt traits that I can think of or recognize. Man….this one is really tricky 🔥 RAR

It’s either that or an Imperial. I think it’s an Imperial 🔥 RAR

I think it’s a PPP but others might go with Akro. We’ll see what others think about this one🔥 RAR
