Not sure about baked on but these were done by Peltier, graphite, supposedly stamped on the still hot glass ?

One of my favorite "wall hanger Curios" full of dug Heaton for this "Sundays Best" I used some Akroware to hold part of the mibs in, 90% of these were mis shapen i.e. footballs, pancakes, double ingot, barbells etc.

Up over $350.oo now w/ still 4 days to go, nice box, can't believe the window is still intact ??

x2, Vitro here

Seeing Akro

Oop !! I had forgotten about the polymers Dave Becker made.

A really nice HTF Akro box w/ a window up for sale from one of our "Reputable Sellers" LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/125395253745?hash=item1d3223b9f1%3Ag%3AeBEAAOSwBldivjoR&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=

Some Alley flames, just for reference the old standby was 3 now 4 or more points IMHO, all perspective.

Hello Roby, x2, I see Alley as well

Hello Daniel, All machine-made marbles have 2 cut marks(shear marks, sometimes visible sometimes not) where the hot glob of glass was cut (sheared) @ each end coming out of the tank before hitting the rollers to be better shaped into a sphere. Handmades have pontils. Time in the hobby is your best friend, if I was to explain torchmades, contemporary, antique, cane cut, sulphides (single gather) transitional, etc... I would still be hitting keys hours from now. Patience please the slower you learn things hopefully the more engrained & easy to understand it will become, almost 3 decades and I learn something new almost every day. "All" the marbles you have presented are machine-made and have no pontils.

Found a few more Red, White & blue from an old auction In had years ago

Might I suggest a grey or some other neutral colored background or matt, w/ no black, bright or reflective colors or surfaces, it will help the lens to focus on the marble instead of everything else around it, some moderate to bright lighting will help also, I use a 40 w daylight bulb and allow the camera to focus on the glass before snapping the pic eliminating retakes. A bit of trial & error, marbles are probably if not the hardest thing to photograph. Here's a link w/ about the simplest and most effective setup I've seen w/ some incredible results.

x2, I see Vacor here as well

Yes, I used to have a board exactly like that years ago, it came w/ white skinned onions w/ blue streaks. The small boards are not @ all common over here & VVHTF, "Thanks" for the added pix David

Yes "chocolate" applies to the base glass & "oxblood" to the patch, very very nice & VVHTF Akro William

Red, White & Blue for this 4th of July "Thüringen Thursday"

Still no oxblood, I do see a few Peltier Rainbo's, some Vitro, maybe a Master or two ?? This plate appears to be all newer made marbles, I believe them to be foreign ? My mind is shootin blanks right now individual pix w/ multiple views of each in groups of 3 or 4 will make for a much more accurate ID Ah I almost forgot !! "Welcome to Marble Connection Daniel"

No oxblood

Nice boxes David, are the boards between 6 & 7 inches and mibs Pee Wee ??

Akro Lemonade Oxblood, nice mib Sherry

Yes I seen the final, I have never seen or heard of an Antique red mica that big in any shape. I noticed about 8 hours before the sale was over the seller added circles around the pontil identifying it as such. If that was even near 3/4 and mint like that it would've been over double the final sale price. It's contemporary IMO, made as art not a production piece. If that was authentic the bidding would've been astronomically high & the amount of bidders many more than 3, somebody bit the bullet
