Thanks. Its getting moved on over to the Vacor display.

I kind of think modern but not too sure. Thank you kindly.

Thank you . Being pointed the right way , helps alot. Then i get to dig deeper into that area.

Yes indeed those pictures are wonderful

Good day. Any thoughts of this 1. Thanks

Yes ive seen very similar and traits that are common. It is kind of odds defying fantastic that the probabilty of 2 exact marbles being identical twins is quite low to non existent. Even Vacor who have made billions of them i think it would apply.

yes .They can have similar appearances. I suppose i was thinking more of machine made and wondering if each marble is unique like a fingerprint or a snowflake.

Are all vintage swirls one of a kind? Or could they control the pattern and make exact duplicates?

Jabo i will go with. I am all ears for creative ideas with my non display marbles . I was thinking of using them as tiles on the shower wall when we renovate the lavatory. Not sure if that is even possible though.

I seem to have a bunch of these. Any thoughts about them ? Thanks

That is a nice marble. Sometimes i think the patterns look like some sort of marbles hieroglphics particularly on the Alley Agates

American Machine Made Marbles written by Dean Six.Susie Metzler.Michael Johnson. I just received a copy last week. It is mesmerizing the amount of marble history all in this 1 book. I cant put it down. I love the history of American marbles and does this book ever deliver.

Thanks. Jabo has done quite a variety in their swirls. #1 i woulď never have thought of as a Jabo.#2 i was leaning on asian but could be vacor definitely.

This lot is in my unknown pile. Trying to make some headway on it. Any thoughts would be great.

My first non modern proper i.d . Was quite exciting. Wich was very recently. I could tell without looking at books or online that it was a Peltier rainbo. But i did confirm it here. My first marbles were mostly Vacor

Sorry about that Steph. Next time use a hammer on me. 😀 i will go with your identification instincts . Thank you kindly as usual

These are better pics. More accurate. It was a difficult one to photio. Outside worked best. Thanks

I think this maybe along the lines of the last 2 posts. Not fully sure though

Much obliged for all the help.

Cheers

Thanks. This 1 looks similar to the last 1 i posted

Thanks for all the input. I appreciate it. North of the border i am pretty much stuck to Ebay or individual websites. .Those pictures look great. I am going to keep my eyes open until 1 talks to me.

I just realized tonight i do not have 1 contemporary artist marble in my collection. Can someone reccomend a good designer that i could buy on ebay.

Hello.Any thoughts on this 1 . Thank you

You persuaded me to look into Alley Agate today. I am thinking they may have made some of the wildest swirls ive seen yet. I like Lawrence Alley swirl work. Then i found about the Marble King connection that i did not know. Thanks. All apreciated. I also remember my grandfather reffering to marbles as alleys. Im not sure in general or actually referring to the company.
