  1. Thanks Ron. Great information as always!
  2. Thanks Steph. I never would have gotten that one.
  3. This one measures 5/8. Base is an opaque bluish gray.
  4. I think I have an old German handmade. It's a pee wee, 15/32. Looks to have a pontil on either pole. It's rough and probably bound for the glass heap, but I'm curious about the age, maker, etc.
  5. A poor choice of words on my part Ron. I didn't know for sure, that's why I posted. The first set of photos was pretty bad so I posted a second set. I've only been doing this for about 8 months now and as soon as there is a marble show that is less than a day's drive away I plan on attending so that I can see examples of collectible marbles with my own eyes. In the meantime I must rely on books and online resources. My intent was to learn, not offend so if I offended anyone I'm sorry. I will put it in the "unidentified" for now. Thanks for taking time to respond Ron. Every time hear from you I learn something and for that I am truly grateful. Thanks again.
  6. It's a very pretty marble nonetheless! Thanks everyone. I truly appreciate the help!
  7. It's a cork. That's about the only marble I can ID with 100% certainty.... 99% certainty?...OK, very well, 90% on a good day😀. Seriously though, I'm very confident it's a corkscrew. Kind of a lazy cork but a corkscrew nonetheless. Here are a few more photos against a white background with the camera not so close. The first one gives the best perspective. Yellow with a green spiral. The green is luminescent which is the exact opposite of what read on the Marble Alan site. Anyway, I'm thinking Lemonade. If I've I'm wrong though, I am wrong. Y'all have looked at many marbles than I have. I just didn't want my crummy photos to shape your opinion. Please let me know what you think. Thanks again!
  8. I'm going out on a limb here and say this is an Alley! First one I've found though that's this shade of green. Reminds me on a Granny Smith apple. Measures 5/8. Something special or just a common?
  9. I'm guessing Vitro but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Akro. 5/8.
  10. One of the few good ones from the weekend. It's a cork for sure. I've narrowed it down to a Lemonade or a Limeade but I can't decide which one. Some views it look more yellow and others more green. Thoughts??
  11. Thanks Ron. I will move them from the "unidentified" to the Jabo!
  12. I think these are modern but I'm not sure..
  13. Here are 6 shooters that I've had for a while. All measure about 15/16. I'm not 100% sure about what I have but here's what I think I have. Left to right stating at the top. 1. St. Mary's Cats Eye. 2. I'm hoping Heaton but it's probably Alley. 3. Champion or Alley. 4. Jabo. 5. Not a clue... 6. Alley. Thoughts??
  14. I'm finding more & more Peltiers lately, and misclassifying some 😀. Any of these have special names??
  15. Thanks guys. I'm going to have to dig back through the junk pile. I wonder what else I may have missed!
  16. I had this one in the junk with all of chipped marbles. I think I was mistaking the pontil for a chip. It's on the opposite pole from the "9." Marble measures 3/4. Transitional slag??
  17. I feel like I should know what this is. I'm thinking Marble King but I'm not finding any examples with these colors. Thoughts?
