Well--Maybe not UV--great image though--I concede--Jabo!! Marble--On!!

I agree--more of that one for sure!! Marble--On!!

Good question Fire and I hope you get a good answer from someone besides me. This is worth a bump--and I agree that they are of the same age as you state--there may be one or three Vitros in the bunch though. Marble--On!!

Frosted at best imho. Vacor did this quite well. Don't do it Mojo!! Marble--On!!

I just have to say this--The OP looks like it reacting to UV very heavy for a Jabo--Nuf said. Marble--On!!

Here you go Gladys, some washed out Popeye’s. I got these in the same lot on a day that I will never forget. I placed a bid early on 9/11 and forgot about them for a few days. Marbles were not on my mind that day but life went on and there they came. I figure with both the reds and the greens washed out like they were --- that they may have been a later run of Popeye’s—not near as vibrant as the originals. These are just my thoughts. I had some blue and yellow that looked pretty “normal” and a red white and blue that I will always cherish that came in the same lot. Lots of Popeye’s on a very bad day but life does go on! Marble On!!! And respect to all of those that lost their lives and loved ones on 9/11.

Nice group Gladys. I have a few of those washed out green ones--wierd little buggers. Marble--On!!

Nice group Mojo, The Ajax are killer. Here is a link that has some discussion about them. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/23752-nice-vintage-foreign-mibs/ Marble--On!!

That is a nice looking Jabo for sure! The second image really gives it up. An Akro cork would be more linear all around with no swirling in between the main colors. Marble--On!!
-
At least two of them are--the second in from the right is a very nice Pelt. The one on the far left looks like a Pelt Rainbo to me. More images of all are needed for sure. Marble--On!!

Good point for sure! Marble--On!!
-
That is a nice thing to share with the star---love it--great job!! Marble--On!!

The red slag is a very nice looker👀 and could be argued for years to come. The blue slag???? I think that you have the third one right Mojo. Marble--On!!
-
I am not seeing Vacor here--maybe Jabo? They deserve a bump! Marble--On!!
-
X2--That Vitro is pretty cool! Marble--On!!
-
Imperial may be right on the first one, these were all over the place with coverage and often showed a swirl effect more than a corkscrew. I have some that do not glow in this color. They could have been marketed as “Moss Agates” as well. Marble—On!!

"Limeade" works for me. These babys do light up under regular light quite well. Nice group!! Marble--On!!

I agree--with everyone😁. Marble--On!! -
That third image does resemble the "New World"--good eye Steph. Wisconsin is a big white glob--it won't be long until that is true Marble--On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

The 150 box came with a variety of marbles. Usually corkscrews of the Prize name or “Snakes” family with a variety of colored base glass. Fancier corkscrews were added to these boxes. I do not think that the white based corks were original to this box. The larger #200 tin came with Mossy patches sometimes, the variety with a UV glow. So I imagine the 150 tin may have had them as well. Tricolor or other patches would not belong in a tin. I do not believe that oxbloods of any type were included either. You will see them filled with a variety of different marbles. The text that I present is just based on my personal research. 5 rows of 5/8” all the same in each row. 4, 13/16” marbles all the same style ( sometimes “Moonies”or “Flinties” of the same color) 5, 9/16” marbles these were commonly “Flintie” in a combination of 5 colors. The five rows went inside of the square box the other two sizes went along side of it. You may be able to make out the marks on the bottom of the tin were they originally were. The pouch was stored in the larger insert box; sometimes a knee pad was included with or instead of the pouch. These boxes also came with a set of rules for “How to play the game of Ringer”. Take it easy on the clasp that keeps the lid closed, push in below it before opening, these are usually broken. Nice tin!! Have fun, I love filling these boxes. Marble—On!! -
I would say much older here William--just do not test it out😁.

I just love the earth toned and wood grained looking marbles that are out there. This one is 15/16” and just a very nice one to hold and gaze at. Marble—On!!

A blue Muddy? Why not? This one is 7/8” and not as muddy as the green striped ones---but still pretty “muddy” I love me a good Muddy!! Marble—On!!
