The later marbles all used "cullet glass", or throw away from other glass companies No company could afford to make there own recipes for glass and compete with the influx of Asian marbles. They are what they are and much of the cullet came from other glass companies making other than marbles. Marble--On!!

I sold this as a 21/32" Ravenswood, but...

The OP may just be a Champion imho. "New Old Fashioned". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more Marble--On!! -
I will stick with my evaluation here. @cheese is a pro and he will understand. Vacor--"All Day Long" imho. I know what a WVS is just not the ID company wise. I just like to find a rare Vacor and ID it. This is my final and I hope that the experts chime in. As always I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Yes a few--but the one that sticks out is the yellow and white on the left. There may be a "Blackie" involved as well. The front right also shows a Vitro--white-red-clear--probably a "Conqueror" of some sort. These that I id are all in the front of image #2 There are a few others involved in the back of the image. Ric knows his Vitro--I do too--just not the names. MK and Vitro are always a hard thing to pick apart—some-times. Ric is the go to here as far as I am considered. Keep on keepin on William--we all never get "it" for sure. Marble—On!!

As "Gordan Ramsay" would say---"It's a Bloody Woodie". Nice marble! Nice Find! Brilliant! Marble--On!!

Any marble with obvious inclusions’/bubbles is/are appreciated by me and a few others including @Fire1981. Pretty cool imho. Marble—On!!

On the Header---- Those little cats that look like a dog just blow me away. A future t-shirt perhaps? If any one has a great image of the little cat/dog please post it. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!! -
I wish that @Melissa or @Joe2 would chime in here. this may be a rare marble. These two know their stuff for sure. Marble--On!!

Sorry for the late response Ric. I have been practicing with Sciatica lately. ( it does sound like a rock band name) No complaints here—I had just a blast playing High school football—a long-long time ago. Yes I agree with the ID—“Melon Ball”. Still a cool find from years ago. Marble—On--- and Thanks for the correction.

Vacor "Duke"--there has to be another name for them---??? Marble--On!!

They are not "Furnace types" imho. Not all game marbles are created equal or solid in color. You may have some of those here. Some of these may be Champions--maybe all. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Well, it appears to be handgathered. Same animal imho. Marble--On!!

What Melissa says X2. Marble--On!!

Not a corkscrew imho. Stiil might be a nice no white showing slag though. Marble--On!!

The glass looks pretty clear. The older Asian market usually used recycled glass which gave the clear glass a ‘Coke Bottle” color of sorts. I thought that it may be a marble made for some manufacturing market at first but those usually show up with not so clear and slightly colored glass as well. “Cleary” is the best that I can come up with. Marble—On!!

Corn Husk? Why do I just love them? So a Corn Husk just has one swirl right? Simple beauty. Marble--On!!

Size alway matters! Ravenswood made more 9/16" marbles than any other company--this is the thing. @Ric is a good one to ID these and I will call him out here. Marble--On!!
-
No Pelts here imho--both are "Allreds" from the Vitro plant. The one with the deep black is pretty cool! These are common but yours are stellar. Marble--On!!

I just love these little Clearies Why--- because I did my due diligence searching “common lots”. I just love finding what should not be there. These two are just less than 5/8”, what a pair of beauties! Marble—On!!!
