"Larger" means nothing here--the size is important--get a plastic calipers and size them. The second image that you show is a killer marble--no doubt.---Love it! Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm, I do not recognize these as USA made marbles. Maybe @Mojo or @shiroaiko can help here. @davesnothere and @YasudaCollector may have some input as well. These are just weird to me and any help is welcomed for sure. Marble--On!!
-
@Melissa will know these for sure. Marble--On!!

This is not a "Blue Raven" my marblecollecting friend. It is a wvs of some type-imho. For some reason-- I would not call it an Alley Agate. All opinions are needed here for sure. Marble--On!!

Calligraphy? It would be a stretch imho. I have no problem calling it an Alley Agate--a very nice one. It stacks up to be a slag--one base color and white--but these are now known by most collectors to be a swirl. Everyone made slags back then--easy to make and quite a good seller. All of the glass was in one furnace--easy-peesy, no secondary streams, glass colors do not mix as in clay or scrambled eggs---or "Playdoh". This is a nice one--beat up yes--but still a cool find. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

Yes! imho of course. Nice ID! this is a tuff one for sure. @Fire1981 will nail it down. Marble--On!!
-
Great images once again! I would call it a Pennsboro Alley. ( yah--I suck @ WVS ID ) I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. @cheese? Marble--On!!

I do not know--good question--I highly doubt it though. This coating was sprayed on a very hot orb of glass and then annealed. With the exception of the Vacor "Wave-Breaker", I do not find the iridescent coating very attractive. (I just love a good Wave Breaker---they look like a Space aged Peltier) Good luck and of course— Marble—On!!

Hello shiroaiko, Do you have any of these bottles to share? Cool stuff! Marble--On!! -
This is a slag--one base color and white. Today most would call it a WVS--from what company? Probably an Alley Agate imho. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
Top notch Mojo---very nice! Marble--On!!

Lets get back to the box. I wonder what @shiroaiko has to say. The box looks like it is from asia to me. Marble--On!!

Thanks for joining "TheMarbleConnection" shiroaiko. You are lighting the marble collectors world up with your collection and insights. I just love this stuff--- Marble--On!! -
Me too--blue av is pretty rare--- Cool find in any marble--Vitro is my choice here. Marble--On!!
-
A Vacor "Twister" imho--a very nice one for this size! Marble--On!!
-
I looked at this one hard and had to step away for a moment or several and had to come back to look. It is an Akro Tri-Colored Patch type imho—pretty weird and very cool imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
-
@Ric knows these better than I do, but I would probably sort this one as a Vitro. The blue is intense for any marble maker--hard to tell here. It is a nice one regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!
-
They are both Vacor imho. The top image--the top one-- a Vacor "Dragon". The second one is what I would call a “Jungle” made by Vacor. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
-
I have never seen one in hand--- Merry Christmas--I think that you have a Vacor "Santa" here. Nice marble! Nice find! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
This one is a "Wavebreaker" made by Vacor. I am not a big fan of iridescent marbles but this model breaks the banks for me. A very nice marble these--just a joy to hold and look at. Marble--On!!
-
It is a "Fiesta"-- Vintage or modern? Hard to tell. This is a nice one regardless. Marble--On!!
