Alta

One more patch for tonight Size is 0.61

Not really sure on this one at all

I had a fairly similar one Id'd as a Vitro, so that is my initial thought

Thanks!

It is a beautiful city. We love it here.

Yeah, I did not really consider CAC, still leaning Alley but would like some more input on possibility of Veiligglas

Clear with dark brown swirls - RW? Cream with brown and bits of blue - maybe Champ?

I have a similar Veiligglas, but would not be surprised if this one turned out to be Alley

I am more confident in this one..

Size is 0.59 Very nice and busy swirl

Some of mine. I Might try to get some individual pics in here of the nicer ones

I have been lurking here for a number of months and when I finally decided to register it turned out I had joined the forum 7 years ago when I started to get into marbles back in South Africa. I have been a bit more active on AAM over the past 5 or so months, but decided more people to learn from and interact with is generally a good thing, thus starting to interact here as well. I am still very much learning and a newb, and hope to gain a lot more insight along with many more marbles in the coming years

X2, Very nice!!!

Definitely seems so with the tail... I am still learning on these, could be MFC but would not be surprised if other more knowledgeable people say it is Japanese..

That is such a cool marble. I want to say DAS/JABO (looks like it has some cold rolls), but would be awesome if it turned out to be Alley...

I am leaning WVS, likely Alley

I would agree with Pelt. No idea however on value, sorry!

I would say so. Nice one!

Happy Thüringen Thursday

I could only find these two Fairy options. Could you lead me down the right path please? 🙈

It is a slow process, and you will never know everything about marbles. I only started really trying to ID and learn the varieties since around April this year, although I have loved these little glass spheres for a long time. Start by learning different types: Learn the basics between swirls, patches, cats eyes, ribbons, etc. Then try to figure out some of the basic traits of the different companies, Vitro has certain staple traits most of the time, as does Vacor, Peltier, Master Marble, Akro, Jabo, etc. Take photos of at least 4 angles of a marble you want help with being Id'd, preferably in good light and on a grey or neutral background. Photography skills will improve over time, but some marbles are more difficult to photograph than others. Don't take the pics in your hand, if will almost never not be blurry. There are good guides in Steph's Study Hall, read and learn. Hope this helps a bit from another newer collector still learning a lot of the basics...

Weird oddity or deliberate? Size is 0.62"

Another one that I have been unable to id

I love so many different kinds of marbles. A few of my favourites from the last month
