I feel comfy cally this one a Akro Agate Slag. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
I agree with all that has been posted for sure. Let me add this; it may have been one that rolled down the cold air exchange and landed on some coal which was heating the furnace for the home. I may have been in a house fire also—or just some kids like me back in the day throwing stuff on a fire. It has Fire damage—nothing from the Factory imho--cool find! Marble—On!!
-
I think that Fire is very close to the size here which is always important. This is one very nice looking Pelt Rainbo imho. Crop up the images and put it in sunlight in the future for a better ID as your marbles come along. This one is a lock imho. Marble--On!!

Transparent yellowish green Vitro
akroorka replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
X2 with Ric. This one has a less than common green transparent base glass included. It looks like this one came from a beach either from the Great Lakes or the Ocean. I would be happy to find it on the beach during a walk. I just found a marble in my garden that baffles me--a railroad (industrial) marble---you all know--the greenish ones filled with folds---the tracks are about 200 yards away--lol. Maybe a crow picked it up and hid it just for me😁. I still picked it up and cleaned it like it was a gemstone. We all love this stuff. Marble--On!! -
Different for sure and worth a post Mister 408. What @Ric says is true and to the point. Marble--On!!

Jabo X2--nice job with the images. This is a "Jabo Classic" or one made in the actual factory setting for sales around the world. These will be "Classic/Vintage" not to far in the future. Take good care of this type--very soft glass prone to hit marks. Marble--On!!
-
It is a contemporary made marble. I cannot remember the name of the of the artist here in the USA but he/she did these quite well and they are/were expensive. I want to call them ---" Dragon eggs" but I am not too sure. I could never afford them--I still liked them though, still do. This one is a knock off from the OG. Maybe @Alan has a clue here to share with us. Marble--On!!

Is this German or contemperary?

You do not see many like this one--pretty cool regardless of the ID. X3 Marble--On!! -
I think that Ric is right on here. My second look lined up with his assessment. Marble—On!!
-
Whoa! MK kicked to the curb here--X3. Nice one! Marble--On!!
-
Nice finds for sure--That middle one made me drool on my shirt--mouth wide open--can't help it😁. Thanks for sharing them! Marble--On!!
-
This one is pretty messy fo an Akro--or even a Vitro. Nice find--I cannot call it though. Maybe from the digs? Marble--On!!
-
Me too--they sure took a look or two from me. Ya never know about weird colored Corkscrews--That was why I looked so hard--not--but still pretty cool. Marble--On!!
-
I agree--hard to ID at this size--pretty weird. I would probably sort it as a Vitro., Nice images--great marble! Marble--On!!
-
The two colors push this one to a swirl imho. The red/orange and white one--just a very nice find and I cannot call it. Maybe @cheese has an idea? Marble--On!!
-
I have no problem calling this one a Champion. @cheese may have a better opinion than I. It might just be a Ravenswood marble. Nice find!--Great marble!! Marble--On!!
-
This is a hard one to call a Master--English is my humble opinion. Marble--On!!
-
Too old for me--very cool Slag though Fire! Marble--On!!

Mint green and chocolate brown.

X2 I think that this one might just glow under blacklight--nice find. Marble--On!! -
11/16" Dark Transparent Green with a blueish swirl
akroorka replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Killer images--I agree with Ric though. Marble--On!! -
Popeye boxes did rarely involve this type of marble—oxbloods. It would never have been an “add on”—just part of a group of oxbloods in a “Popeye box”. Rare to find but “Popeye Boxes” have a list of different sizes and contents. We are all familiar with the basic “Popeye Box” but there are more out there in different sizes and contents. Marble—On!!
