  1. I appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to measure these marbles and respect them for what they are. The top image shows what I think is an Asian type on the left. It probably came in an Imperial set of marbles. The Imperial company was a jobber-or reseller of marbles on the west coast that purchased marbles from a variety of Asian makers, repackaged them and sold them in the USA market The third one in is more than likely a Vacor from Mexico, they made a bunch of pee-wee marbles. You seem to like the "crackle glass" one. Kids used to cook these in a frying pan filled with water until they cracked up. They were also marked as such, I cannot remember by who. The value with these marbles is with the owner/collector/finder only—straight up. If you like em—collect-em, just do not pay much for-em. No one here will ever blame you for that. The rest of what you show are not identifiable and common. Blunt it is, but I deal with truth. Marble—On--- my marble collecting friend.
  2. That red/yellow on black is very interesting and it is giving me some CAC vibes. I have not seen any marble like it before. The mostly yellow one is a Marble King--"Blended something". I am going to say Champion on the white/purplish on a clear based one. More opinions are needed on all. Good Luck! Marble--On!!
  3. I am with you--weird one for sure. Nice marble--no Idea what it is here. Marble--On!!

    Does #1 have any yellow involved? It looks at least like a varient of a "Buttermilk" to me. Nice marble that one! Marble--On!!
  5. I agree with Vacor. Marble--On!!
  6. Could this one be from the Alley digs Ric? Marble--On!!
  7. Hmm, Ive seen stuff like this before. I always thought that they were knife holders for kitchen use. I have no idea what a "filter rod" is. Cool Beans!
  8. I always use my old standby White Vinegar. It may clean them up a bit but not all of the way. There may be some tricks that others know. Bottle-On!!
  9. Me too Ric but it does looke like a pinched pontil on my monitor--no clue as to what the marble may be though. It does appear to be slightly out of round. Marble--On!!
  10. Agreeed. Nice marble though. Marble--On!!
  11. I would not have a hard time calling this one a "Rainbo"--but that is me. More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

    HMMMM?? Anemic "Cubscout"--just a guess here. Marble--On!!
  13. I agree with Chad-- Marble--On!!
  14. Here is a link that expalins "confetti" marbles pretty well. https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=382835&sid=d9beb1fcecd1eb1d7cc0f555359418ac With confetti marbles you are generally able to feel the little specs of color with your fingers. I think that Alan has this right--it could be Chinese--they are making a lot of torch marbles. Marble--On!!
  15. The two that I have circled are interesting for sure--nice group of slags. More images please. Marble--On!!
  16. Ask away treetiger, questions are a good thing. Marble--On!!
  17. MFC imho--very nice regardless of the damage. These bigger sizes were never an easy find for me here in Wisconsin. Marble--On!!
  18. Cool stuff Fire--the yellow does not really match up with Pelt--Just an observation. Marble--On!!
  19. Worth a Bump Fire! Did Kokomo make peewees? Marble--On!!
  20. Possibly a messed up Peltier Rainbo? Marble--On!!
