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

These two both have a 'newer' feel to them. Both are player size - 0.61-0.63

First thought was Jabo but would love to hear different opinions

Could it possibly be a Vacor Neptune?

Hah- And here I would have called it a Hurricane. Definitely do not take Vacor names as gospel...

I really like this one, such a nice colour combo, you would not think it works, and yet it does!

Thank you for all the opinions. This one did not get much reaction over on AAM (has been a while since I posted it), but was told it is likely foreign . It is shooter size - 0.93“ It gave me pelt vibes from the start, just very subdued...

Thank you for the informative reply. That makes sense! The marble in question is likely Seike - does not seem to be under a clear layer, but I will definitely be looking at all of my Peewees that has a similar look a bit closer to try to determine if they are Matsuno. Thanks again, I appreciate the details in your responses

This is such an informative thread. I have a fairly large number of what I thought were all Wales Pinchers, but now it seems some of them could be Seike or even Matsuno. Out of these four examples, would 2 be Seike, 1 and 3 be Wales and 4 Matsuno? Or am I misunderstanding the first post in this thread? Any further examples/info is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

I have previously posted this one over on AAM but hoping more eyes (and hopefully better pics) could give some hints. I am leaning foreign but would appreciate input.

Swirls are more of a brown than red colour

I have it's green buddy. I believe these to be foreign...

Thanks! I am definitely going with Vacor on this one.
