  1. If I had to pick a "Comet" out of this bunch it would be the third marble. I thought that the first one may just be a UV reaction but you call it green so I will go with that. There are black and white comets that have a glow to them. Comets are one of the hardest to ID, Akro vs Master--especially the light "baby" blue and yellow ones. Marble--On!!!
  2. Fun to watch for sure! Thanks Chad!! Marble--On!!!
  3. It is a beautiful marble no doubt. It reminds me of a Peltier “Miller”. This one would be a Pelt Miller on steroids plus something else. Could you image a machine made like this? Great marble!! Marble---On!!!

    "Compare the second one to to some Champion Furnace marbles while you are at it from the post above. Marble--On!!!" Sorry Fire, I made this post on the wrong topic. I meant to put it on the "Three for ID" that was posted last night. Nothing is directed at you, just a posting mistake on my part. I apologize for any hurts feelings and will watch where I put my postings a bit closer in the future. Marble--On!!!
  5. Here is an old post that I found with some nice Vitro Marbles Images. Marble--On!! http://www.gaiser.org/vitro/

    Compare the second one to to some Champion Furnace marbles while you are at it from the post above. Marble--On!!!
  7. Compare these to some Champion Furnace marbles. It's the direction that I would go in. Marble--On!!
  8. I would lean towards Vitro on both of these. The top one does have what some folks would say is Vitro oxblood. The bottom one just because of the colors. Marble--On!!!
  9. This one reminds me of a larger one that I have like this. It has blue base glass. I always thought that it was a Dug Akro. I had it ID'd at a show as a Jabo---lolat least some folks said they did not know. Everything was a Jabo back then if it did not line up with the norm. No clues, but it does look older. Marble--On!!!
  10. Parakeet is a collector’s name that has quite a few different definitions. You could call the OP a Parakeet because of the size and a lot of folks may agree with you, then again a lot may not. The streaked yellow in the OP is seen in Parrots and it pushes me in that direction. Parrots have been Parrots since they were made. I think that it is safer to call this a Parrot because of the multiple views on what a Parakeet is. You could find the “originator” of this “Parakeet” nickname and still be at odds on just what a Parakeet is in different circles. I would call the ones that Berryb posted Tiger-eyes because the bottom line is, that is what they were marketed as, they may have nicknames as well. . (Except for the far right one which I do not recognize—may be an off the loop All Red) Nicknames can get twisted and rearranged to the delight of the owner. Marble—On!!!
  11. The eight yellow ones are MK. The bottom white one is MK. The top white/yellow is a Vitro hybrid. The other two white ones I cannot say just what they are because of the angle. The rest look like Vitro to me.
  12. I see two distinct shades of blue, plus yellow and a reddish orange, four colors. The white appears pink with little if any, other true white showing. I think that it is a “Parrot”. Cool tail on this one! Marble---On!!!
  13. The colors look right to me. A keeper for sure! Marble--On!!
  14. Here are a few images of what some folks may call a “Black Popeye”. There is some clear in it and the wispy white is packed in pretty firmly. These do show up with more clear and more traditional wispiness. I had to oil this one up a bit to get it imaged because the surface looks like it was in the ocean awhile. I do not know that there is any real “Black” in glassmaking but as you can see, it sure looks black. The second set disproves that. This “black” is very similar to the kind of color that we see in “Blue Oxbloods”. As a matter of fact there may be some oxblood buried in this one. Too deep for me to really find out but I think that I saw it in the viewfinder before I took several shots. The dark color just eats light up. Marble—On!!!
  15. Rare stuff there bumble bee! Very nice indeed! Marble--On!!
  16. Hi Gladys, The first one is a dark blue Popeye. The other three have two “Tricolors” on each end and a nice four color corkscrew in the middle which is a very nice find.(some might argue five colors but I would have to see it in hand to go that far) Marble—On!!!
  17. Hello Tommy, The yellow and white one is the one I think you are asking about. Popeyes need to have a clear base glass to qualify. The second one looks like a Popeye patch. Marble--On!!
  18. “Reunited and it feels so good” (ref. Peaches and Herb song “Reunited”) Yes, I am a bit dorky! Marble—On!!!
  19. If you are up for it , show some more of the ones that I drew lines around. Nice group otherwise. Marble--On!!
  20. I am OK with calling it a Vitro also. How big is that puppy. Nice marble for sure! Marble--On!!
  21. Alway check those clearies for a pontil--ya just never know. Ths one has a chunk in it.
  22. Sorry newbie, My swirl knowledge is limited but I sure can give this post a bump up! Marble--On!!
  23. I am more of a Zeppelin guy What Is and What Should Never Be Not mine by the way.
  24. The last one may be a cat/sparkler "hybrid"--LOL 😁(reference another post on hybrids in the ID section today) Marble--On!!!
  25. Marble--On Sherry! My wifes name is the same spelling and I will always take note of a post with that name.👁️‍🗨️
