"Welcome to Marble Connection" Not a sleeping red devil. A ploy by the seller to bilk money from an unwary buyer. A "clearie" hard to tell what company since almost every company in existence @ one time or another made them. A "Red Devil" is a very rare marble made @ one time by the " Christensen Agate Marble Company" . Again, Welcome This link may help you a little bit, be very weary of any eBay seller, a buyer beware scenario. AAM Red clearie uv. patterns :: https://allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?t=50637 Here's one from an old Morphy auction in 2011, to enlarge the picture just click on it.

Fantastic marbles David, coats are my favorites, the board is a great addition to a perfect set Just a sidenote, how many coats have you noticed w/ aventurine. ?? And what is your ratio of coats @ 1" or bigger ?? Just curious what you have on your side of the pond

Carnivals have a darker green base w/ black and orange ribbons. Yes your base is close but ?? I'm not seeing Alley IMO

Closest I can come color wise is a Carnival. Only one like it I've ever seen. Ron @wvrons& @mibcapper agreed a very rare marble, I got it in a lot of Alley I purchased some time back.

Old to Collecting, New to Glass

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Handmade - Machinemade- transitional, these make up 99.9% of the marbles out there, though I don't doubt there are some that are homemade. Your first marble looks torch made , all the next 7 look machine made to IMO. Ask any questions you like, you're in the right place, if it's about marbles or marble related there are many decades of marble & marble related knowledge here. Yes some marbles can bring hundreds even thousands of dollars. One thing I always keep in my mind is to collect what I like, of course as a collector that's what I do. There will be others that reply w/ individual I.D.'s for your marbles good luck & have fun. Again, "Welcome"- 9 replies

I have a zebra w/o av. but I think it's opaque, the translucent example you have is certainly different.

Agree 100, there is an exception to every rule, especially when there are 10's of millions of them produced

My first & favorite av. marble

Looks like it might be a Cherryade, agree, not seeing ox

I have one in a box. A little more complex, called "The Labyrinth" I believe several different companies have been making them for years. Yes I believe mine came w/ two steel ball bearings as well. I'll try and dig up a pic ?? Can't find the pix right now, gonna take some new ones, I'll try and remember to do it as soon as I can. In the meantime here's one identical to mine, box and all, currently posted for sale on eBay. LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/116313907548?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=

How would be go about restoring this old vintage brick?
Chad G. replied to CharlieT's topic in Restoration Q & A
If you don't mind polished marbles ?? I'm not sure Matthew still does it but his email contact is on this you Tube site, guess it's worth a try LINK :: https://www.youtube.com/@MarbleGems/videos -
Sure looks like ox to me
-
It does look like a few of them do have what would be considered oxblood in them, maybe some individual pics of the ones you suspect of having it would help out ??
