I am with you Ric, What the (fully filled is that?) Love it--Great Pelt!

I have a few Heatons Oxbloods from a box. The oxblood looks a bit deep to me and the green a bit too light in color. More opinions needed here. Marble--On!!

This one would be my first ID of an Alley on this board. That is what I will call it. No Jabo here. Worth a bump up at least--I suck at WVS ID Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

Jabo would be my guess. Marble--On!!

It is a Master Made Marble. There is no evidence imho of any type of veneering going on. It is a deeply colored, well made, vintage USA imho. I checked out your link Ric and I cannot say the same for the ones listed in the post. Marble--On!!

Not too Shabby!!

Jabo x2 Marble--On!!

Not an Imperial. I do not think that it is a Master either. Most Master marbles are not 50-50 in the coloration, side to side or cutoff to cutoff. No Marble King here imho. The separation at the cut-lines shows a white subsurface, suggesting a veneer type marble. The base is all white to the center no doubt. I would call this an early attempt at veneering. Vitro did this quite well. I think that you did well in your ID Marbleneophyte. Marble—On!!!

11/16”--Superboy? Marble—On!!

Does this make us twins?, Chad, you and I may be tripletts. Who knew? Marble--on!!

Jinx Steph,

Size matters Jeremy. This one looks like a nice jabo to me.

An "almost" Forrest Gump quote. "Wise is as Wise does" If you like them under Black Light--so be it. Collect what you like, this is 2022, things have changed quite a bit since machine mades were starting to be collected. I love using black light to display and I love the ones that "light up". Adjust and be happy, collect to be happy. I love this stuff! Marble--on!!

Un-real! That looks like one of those black Jabo to me. Anyone else care to experiment? Great job Jeremysvt. Marble--On!!

I like the nice clear transparent ones as well--simple beauty. Great marbles Ric! Great colors as well! I wish that Swarovski made round marbles, I would get me some. This is as close as it gets for me so far, a Swarovski “marble”--lol. (good thing the sun was out today—the camera went wild trying to focus) Marble—On!!

Yes Ric, Parakeet may be the collectors name for these smaller ones but I prefer Parrot. Whenever I hear or read the word Parakeet I flash back to being 3 years old. I stepped on the family Budgie (poor Peetie) and he was a goner. I really did not get it at the time but I have been reminded of it plenty since then. We got another Peetie—he flew away—smart bird that one. Parrot on!!

Here is a nice little Vitro Parrot at 5/8”.

I would say 50 years old maybe more, maybe quite a bit less. Vacors and Imperials have been around for some time. This type, at this time, are not a highly sought after collectable marble. There is not a lot of research to be found----yet, on Vacors or Imperials age wise or design wise. Marble--On!!

I agree, Vacor or an Imperial---big one. Nice marble!

Here is an Akro Agate that wanted to be a part of this post. It takes after me, always misbehaving. It cried out to me and I had to post it, I hope that it will quit crying now. Yes, Corkscrews are swirls but this one really wanted to be a swirl on its own—not a corkscrew. (Kids!) What a nice one! I still love her, very much, corkscrew or not! Marble—On!!!

I am not that good on West Virginia Swirls. This type I have researched enough to call it a Cairo Novelty Company Swirl. I love this marble! Marble--On!!

That looks like a nice couple of lots/images. Do not be afraid to post a few for ID, just keep it down to four or five at a time. I love to ID marbles--I am good at some and far worse at others but there are plenty that post here to fill in the gaps. Thanks for sharing and continue to do so. Marble--On!!

This one came in a group of MK's---I thought--wait a minute here--surprise, surprise! I had it verified and it was drooled on. What a pretty little thing at 9/16" Marble--on!!
