Blue and gray swirls I don't know what they are
akroorka replied to mibby wonka's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Not Jabo--size always matters. I have run across these and taken them to shows for an ID. Mine were one inch or therabouts I believe, I have two of of them in my collection somewere--lol. Yours look smaller with much more blue involoved. I was told that these are "Older Vacor". I was never able to verify it through research on the interweb or from any books. I still wonder?? Cool stuf!! Marble--On!! -

I have seen these Kaysons boxes of marbles before but never with a game involved. This is just a share for any that are interested. These images are as found. The box is practically unused with the dimples from the holes in the bottom of the box yet. I will call it a great find in my world. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble—On!!

At Just a hair over 7/8” This is a “Clearie” (Clear as in no color with just a hint of yellow UV reaction possible in hand---no yellow reaction here—just a gut check)—it is slightly out of round and it is an Akro imho—probably from a dig. Yes, this is the same marble—both sets. This is why the new generation of collectors loves a good black-light marble (or some of the older collectors as well—I sure do!) UV light reveals a lot—cut me some slack on the blue reflections; they are from the UV light which was deployed. The orange is the thing---just killer—under UV it looks solid and opaque. The camera flash reveals some brown in this “Clearie” which is just crystal clear in hand. I tried my best—no sunlight today—go figure. “Backlight them all” and hit them all with UV light as well. They may not be worth a terrible lot but once you find them they are priceless. They all deserve a good look! We all love this stuff—I sure do!! Marble—On!!

Yes, I would. Marble--On!1

Clean them then put them in a jar or sealable clear glass vessel and fill it with water. They make a great display. Marble—On!!

I think that the OP is a Master "Brushed Patch". Marble--On!!

That is a nice deep rich yellow. The base glass appears to be well cooked and quite clear. The first image hints at UV reaction with both of them—do they show any UV reaction? They sure remind me of yellow Akro snakes with that little hint of brown. Include a Master Made “something” and Peltier clear Rainbo’s as well. That is a pair of odd ducks—I love them. More opinions are needed and always welcomed. Marble—On!!

I looked hard at these—nice images by the way. I think that all are slags. The bottom right hand one almost appears to have some opalescence to it—that would be weird imho. Marble—On!!

X2 Brian. I agree with all of the above. Marble-On!!

So--they are almost German?? I like em. Nice website grab Ric

Patch types are hard for anyone to ID. Start with the most common-Akro and Master then move on to the rest. Colors will come into play at some point. Cut-lines are the general way to an ID but not always. Pelts are easy once you get a touch for them. Vitro will always throw a loop into any patch type ID and make it a best guess. This is the way of machine made marbles—they do not all line up like you would like them to. A bunch of companies made Patch types at one time or another—get underneath the ones that are veneered or not and this will clear the way somewhat. If this was easy—well you know----😁. Marble—On!!

More pics of the others would help us out here. The two that you have posted look like they are Pelts---but?? Marble--On!!

Yes? Is there something wrong with a handcart in the living room?? Maybe I am just an odd duck--🦤. Marble--On!!
-
Agreed! Marble--On!!

The third image shows what I believe to be Vacor "Roosters" with the exception of one. The one near the bottom with the "cream" color. Marble--On!!

I agree, the RWB is a weird one imho Marble--on!!
