Definitely not a pistachio then, just a swirl. Pistachios also are uv reactive. Looked black on my monitor plus early & I'm not wearing my glasses, sorry bout that one.
-
Understood !! as for the dark green I'm pretty sure it's just a regular clay, lots of damage, beningtons are low value also unless you get a rare color like pink etc......

If my monitor is correct your base glass is black ?? If yes I think you have a "Vacor Samurai" . "Werewolf" has a brown base instead of black
-
Yes, they all appear to be Master to me !!

Not glow in the dark, the paint is just uv. reactive. Glow in the dark is after the light is extinguished the object continues to glow. Common clays though probably old hardly any value except maybe sentimental. I always use a blacklight or tube instead of a uv. bulb or flashlight it seems to work a bit better ??

Bruce is right "no oxblood " and all west Virginia swirls. maybe 6 or 7 alleys, second group second from the left( green & black) looks to be an Alley pistachio, not sure from just one view., The first & largest one resembles an Alley metalic I have but impossible to tell from your pics. The yellow base w/ red are also Alley and are desirable but not high dollar. The second group is by far the best of the two. Some closer clear shots & multiple views of each marble would help immensely.

A couple 3 very nice J coats in your first row, Ah what am I saying I like em all !! Handmades are great, I love em, even if the market is slowly going the other way. I have had a definite affinity for them since the early 90's Here are a few pix of a few of mine. Some of the agates may be machine made, I believe they're about half & half in this pic. Glad to see someone else taking an interest in one of my first Mojo. I still collect & love em. Joseph Coats are my favorites.(pic # 14) By the way a "Great" idea on the cats

I'm good with that Bruce !!

"Welcome to Marble Connection" "No pontils yours are all machine made, the first to look like maybe cat eyes "from this one view " The third looks Asian, maybe an Imperial. "Please" give measurements in fractions if you can. Some more views would be a great help in the I.D. process "Thank You"

WOW !! 😲

These "Meg" teeth are really something alright !! I can see why you like them, the other closeup pix are great.

Akro or Vitro ? Mine all "fake" according to few forums
Chad G. replied to Mojo's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
There not "Fake" Mojo, just not easily identifiable because of rarely being seen here in the U.S. Some are identifiable yes, others closely resemble known manufacturers but just something a bit off. Personally I wouldn't toss anything. Myself, I will not give an I.D. on something that I have no idea on, just state what I know & what it resembles. I want to help as I'm sure "everyone" else does on any marble forum, some of the main driving forces behind all these marble forums is the sharing of knowledge and helping the new collector, things that help us all in the end. In a word "Everchanging" This hobby morphs continually as provenance & new knowledge is brought foreword. I would love to know more about a number of the marbles you have in question myself, and believe that given a little time their identification will become known. Hang in there, we're with you, the great majority is here to help & learn. A few words of encouragement for you as we all love this hobby, it has become a large and very enjoyable part of my life & the lives of many here -
it's supposed to be stacking not "Stack King"

Good thing somebody was paying attention, keep us posted if you would William, on the status of this fish or reptile or whatever it turns out to be !!
-
Some great stuff there William, looks like we have very similar interests. I seen the meg teeth long before the individual pics "very nice" I'll post some pics of my favorite vendor store as soon as I make a trip up there, many displays are very similar !!
-
Yep !! On second look I agree Steph !! 99% of the Vacor old fashioned I've seen do have that orange peel type texture.
-
Sounds like maybe a ya got good thing going for ya William. Making friends with the vendors and or owners is always a plus. I have made several good friends that way & our friendships have went far beyond the store or their spaces. Oh !! and the display deal you got is "fantastic" they're not cheap by any means & lighted on top of that. I just bought 2 wall mount locking ones that also needed assembly. I'll be posting some pics of them soon, in other words they're already full, something I've needed for a long time. "Good luck" on you ventures William, looking foreword to more pix !! "Ys" i have cousins in Redding & another small town in California called Redway just west of Redding near the coast, the big blue marble we live on is getting smaller all the time !!
