Once you find the facets--you will be hooked. These were also made in California---LA--in the good ole USA. I love to backlight this type---just me maybe----not! Research these a bit more and find out how they were made. You will be hooked for sure. These marbles took a beating and kept on cooking. Here is one with backlight Marble--On!!

Thanks Jeff54, We do not generally accept any ads or links here--it should be deleted by me. You can edit your post and delete the link--this would be a good thing for sure. Thanks for showing up again and lets let this one slide for now. Keep it to marbles in the future though. Welcome back!! Marble--On!!! -
Great group Melissa! If I had a "Wedding Cake" it would be yours--just sayin. Marble--On!!

Its all ok here. When you get similar marbles of this type it is always a good idea to backlight--hit them with some UV light and then stand back and look again. IMHO--- I think that these may be from three different makers. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!

Nice find! I am happy to see that you have had these ID'd before you purchased them. I am waiting to see the rest---. Marble--On!!

Welcome back my marble collecting friend--Better is way better than worse. Killer marbles by the way. Keep on keepin on --and---many thanks to your son😇. Marble--On!! -
Hybrid what is my question? It may be a swirl or a cat-eye. Image #5 shows what looks like a weak "Vitro Horse-Shoe Cat" imho. Nice clear glass for sure--is that bubble in image five blown out or intact? Nice marble!----Nice images! Thanks for showing it--- I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

You are not the "odd man out" imho. Expect five soon😁. Marble--On!!

X3--nice marbles!! Marble--On!! -
Images six and ten show a very classic blowout were the glass exploded outward from the hit point. This is no Jabo imho. Let’s call this one 3/4”. You do need better images. I appreciate the backlighting—but this one needs some sunlight. Try natural sunlight---no flash—the last image urges me to call this one a possible Pelt—possible. Nice try at the images but we all need some more to call this one. Thanks for sharing it with us, Marble—On!

Well---before Christmas is a stretch fo me--if it snows tommorrow like they say it is going to--hopefully by "The New Years Holliday". I am not sad but happy to see so many step up at the last moment. "NickelGuy" has no choice--Patience is the key to collecting. He was on the ball and shipped today--my ball is getting more like a square. Marble--On!!
