This is not my best work, image-wise—just trust me here, it’s an ugly one. This is a clear based 1 ¼” “Bullet Mold” type with a “Pontil”, a big unfinished “Pontil”. It has a slight purple hue to it. It does have that slight glow under UV light like the older handmade marbles have. It has been sitting on my desk for months now—I just like it for some reason and I pick it up often just to feel the age and wonder about the intent of making it. Maybe intended to be in a claw foot table leg? I do not mind ugly one bit--in fact, I celebrate it when it can give some comfort and knowledge for sure. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some here. Nice Thread! Contribute here for sure Marble—On!

Great stuff here my marble collecting friend. I learned quite a bit here and Leightons have alway been a mystery to me--Thanks! Keep it coming! Marble--On!!

Well bud, You remembered us and that is a great start. You keep on coming back and when it is the right time to do so, share some of what you remember with us all here @TheMarbleConnection. I look forward to your further posts. Marble--On!!

Imho, the first one is a Vitro "All-Red". No MK here. @Melissa may have some more input here. Marble--On!!

Welcome Derrick, To "TheMarbleConnection" the oldest Marble Board on Planet Earth. I love what you show here and I have always loved them. These Peltier types are a nice one to hold and look at(even feel). Try using a small rechargeable penlight (cheap) and shine the light from underneath looking at the top of the orb. Also try UV penlight like the ones used to find Scorpions and “bed bug” detritus in hotels’, (Cheap) some marbles glow like a fire fly. These "tricks" will open your eyes even more to this addicting hobby. Marble—On!!

A nice one for sure. Nice ask and share--it is a little bit above the rest. Marble--On!!

X2--nice big Vitro. Marble--On!!

This is were it gets fun for me--research. I will not spoil your fun filled mission here and name them. West Virginia had many, many makers vs the rest of the USA, it was/is the Capitol State of glass Marbles. I urge you to sit down and start reading what the interweb has to offer starting with this link. https://www.westvirginiamarblecollectorsclub.com/miscellaneous They are tops when clubs are considered. Have fun and -- Marble--On!!

I lke it too--nice marble! I agree with the above statements. Marble--On!!

Imho, this one is a WVS of some sort. I do not think that it is a Jabo. More opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

This is dirty glass. Not a feature found in most Master Mades. Master Mades usually have a very fine smooth surface with well finished seams. I understand the question--the colors are right for a Master. Nice share and ask imho. Imperial sounds right here. Of course, I appreciate all opinons and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I would sort it as a MFC, my marble collecting freind. The colors line up as does the pattern--nice find. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Nice group Melissa, We are all aware of the "classic" Master Made "Tiger Eye"--clear base, orange, black and white. A very nice marble indeed but there were others that fell into this category--this is a very nice share. Marble--On!!

Kinda weird imho, love it! Nice Find! @Chad G. may have a more informed opinion here. Marble--On!!

That marble is just top notch--along with a very nice display. Killer Combo! Marble--On!!
