Good eye Steph, I think that you nailed it. Marble--On!!

The third images shows little round marks where either the marble was touching another one or several during the firing process or it was on a stand of some sort during the same. The surface looks glazed and fired to me. I have never seen anything like it. I am not ready to call it new just yet. If it is glazed you should be able to clean it with just about anything without the color rubbing off. Did little Fire make this one in ceramics class?😁 Marble—On!!

Well it is a small world today Fire. I was just hunting the Vacor site to ID a marble. It turned out to be a "VELOCIRAPTOR". A pretty cool marble in it's own right. If you click through through the images of these you will see one looking close to yours in a net. It is lacking in some colors, it is the 25mm size, close enough to 1 1/8" for me. Marble--On!!

Not Asian X2--WVS imho. Marble--On!!

I agree with Fire, Whisplers show up with blue base glass frequently. Master Glass marbles do also but they are usually brushed patches. Nice marbles regardless. Marble—On!!

When in doubt about slag’s I just call them Akro Agate and move on to the next. They made many many millions of slag’s. Marble—On!!

I have had a few like these in my fingers. They felt like Vitro Agate to me. They have very nice round smooth glass. Marble—On!

Pelt made a bunch of Peewee marbles--just sayin😁. The wee ones have a tendency to do their own thing. Marble--On!!

Bump---😁

I gave up years ago--Planting seedlings in early June is my way. I am quite attached to my little ones, I grow mine from seed. I hate when I have to put the plants into my compost in the fall and I thank them all for their service. The dry spring turned into a wet one and my pole beans, chard and others will have to wait. The ground temp is still below what it should be and seed rot is not worth the while. I am just lucky to have a few Radishes given the temp up and downs. There is nothing like a garden grown Radish, wash them off in a little rain water, chew them up and wait for the nose to clear, the hotter the better. I am not the one that wants the first—just the best for my uses. Wisconsin has turned into a late crop area—I will adjust. Late season Black Radishes—I can’t wait.

That is a nice group of cats--they always look better in a group! Marble--On!!

This is another Akro vs Vitro--I think that Cheese has it right. Marble--On!!

I looked at this one quite a bit today. I think that the green color pushes it towards Akro vs Vitro. Marble--On!!

I have one like this--not too common, orange on orange--Nice one! Marble--On!!

This is a nice "corkscrew slag"----I just love it! Marble--On!!

My Grandfather was a “Horse Shoe-er/Blacksmith” in WW1. He was gassed and survived—(coughed a lot—the Camel Straights did not help). He had two brothers that came back as well. Hats off to the ones that did not make it back—and the ones that did as well. Marble—On!!

The first one looks like an Akro Corkscrew that did not finish like it should have. The second one is a Vacor Arctic Bear they have a tumbled finish to them. The third may be a Vacor Red Panda. As always, more opinions’ are needed and more than welcomed. Marble—On!!

I wonder if #3 is an odd little Vitro. Marble--On!!

Here is a bone Fire, I have seen in some videos of marble making that a worker will wipe down the rollers with something on a cloth during production. I wonder if this is the result. Marble—On!!

Nice one Gladys, "End of Day" something--Cloud or Onionskin--just guessing. It is well worth a BUMP UP! Marble--On!!

Nice one Da Roberto. Moray Eel or some snake name? Katydid in these parts. Marble--On!!

It looks like a Master Made Marble to me--nice one. Marble--On!!

I think that this one wanted to be a “Popeye”. Something went wrong—wispy green? If it were mine I would keep it with my Popeyes just for kicks. A pretty cool marble for sure. Marble—On!!

Leroy knew when to quit! Marble--On!!

I will call this one a Jabo---a nice one at that! Marble-On!!
