You have to get a cheap measuring device at the very least laero21. A few bucks for a plastic calipers will not bust you. Just go to the local hardware store and find one, post an image with it measuring the widest point and post it as such. I look forward to these images. Marble--On!!

Welcome back to "TheMarbleConnection", Jzoook6, We all look forward to your continued participation and you sharing your gained knowledge from over the years. I agree that many are "Peltier Rainbo's" but I have some doubts on a few here. I will call in @YasudaCollector and @shiroaiko for some further assesments on these. These deserve further assessment imho. Marble--On!!

Size is always important regarding marble ID's. Nuff said! This one is a very nice example of some sort of Vitro--maybe " Just a Patch" which they made many of. I have come across this type many times and have a hard time "naming" them other than "just killer". The size is an important factor here imho. (I am guessing around 1") Marble--On!!

I see the red. This is a "later Model" Vacor "Serpent " imho. Marble--On!!

Welcome charziD to "TheMarbleConnection". I think that you are wondering whether or not the orange-red one has a pontil. It does not—this is damage either from play or from a dig, a disregarded marble that the factory specs did not meet. I encourage you to backlight it and post some more images. You need to be more specific with your ask’s or requests. Cool knife handle! Nice share here. Marble—On!!

I would call them "Bullseyes" but @Steph and @Melissa would know better. I know this--it is a very nice pair of Vitro Agate marbles. Nice images--Nice marbles. Thanks for sharing them with us here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!

The second one is a Marble King imho. Marble--On!!

Good eye Roberto!

The size of the marble is an important factor in the ID of any marble. Given the text behind one of your images, I suspect 5/8" or so. Pink is a rare color when considering "Vintage" or older Marbles. I would consider another pair of makers here, Master and Akro. This is a tuff one for sure--nice share and ask. Marble--On!!

I agree with you and your statement. The German handmade marbles and the “Stone Agates” were the main competition at the time the glass marble industry started in the USA. Notice that many USA marble companies used the term "Agate" to describe their glass marbles. Good observation here— Nice “Master Made” as well. Thanks for sharing it along with your thoughts. Marble—On!!

I still think like I am fourty--the rest of me does not agree sometimes. Marble--On!!

No sweat Marblesguy, I have to remind myself to look at the dates as well--I still do screw up a bit though. A "like" is always welcomed on all post's here @TheMarbleConnection--no matter how old they may be. Marble--On!!

WHISPLERS, as Master can sometimes deceive

Yes--"grande"(great) ones-- Roberto. What is the "diametro"( diameter) of these beuties? Marble--On!! -
Run, run, run, run----------but educate yourself for sure. Marble--On!!

This is a very nice Vitro imho. Lets call in @Melissa for a final verdict. I will defer to her here. She knows her Vitro quite well. Nice Find--Nice Marble! Marble--On!!

They are a "Novelty" but they are still collected as you show here. If you were into "John Deere", you may find hundreds of them in different styles. You could also collect all of the USA Presidents if you like. Peltier made the “Picture Marbles” a thing and they are still very collectable today—just a tad, tad, tad more vintage than what you are showing here. “Collect what you like” is my motto. Pink Floyd sold an album that actually had marbles in a pouch included with some other mayhem as well. Research these Floyds "just in case". I am sure that there are copies out there. (These are still quite valuable) Marble--On!!

I agree! You decide if it is a four color Cork, a rare find for sure. I cannot tell from here. Just use a loupe and be honest with yourself. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
Just wondering if anyone collected these?
akroorka replied to Marblesguy's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
These Jabo "Boxed sets" are very collectable. I am not a collector of these but plenty of Marble folks are. These at least give a good description of the "varients". @Nantucketdink is an expert at ID on Jabo marbles. He may give some advice here. Collect what you like with no reservations. Marble--On!! -
I am sure that there are quite a few that do this--collect by sizes. I do not but it sounds like a very fine and rewarding experience to me. "You do you" and if you ever need any help finding one--contact me by PM (Personal Message) I am always willing to help out a fellow collector--always. Marble--On!!
-
Once again I will defer to @YasudaCollector and @shiroaiko. This one looks Asian to me. Marble--On!!
-
@shiroaiko and @YasudaCollector can give an excellant assessment here. I hope that they chime in on this one. Marble--On!!
-
@YasudaCollector? @shiroaiko? Your opinions are needed and respected here. Marble--On!!

A" does appear to be a Vitro-- "B" does appear to be a Peltier. "C" does appear to be an earlier Master, the finish tells me this on this one, these Masters even feel cold to the touch, they are hard and easy to feel and find after some experience is gained--Nice one here imho. I had to "fix" all of these marbles on my Photo Editor to make any “Readable”, so the jury is still out here. In the future, try your best to give nice, clear, well lit images. Shooting three at a time rarely works out--they are all different and require their own lighting. Nice job so far--I am convinced that you can step it up a bit though. Keep coming back with any questions and of course, Marble—On!!
