@Fire1981 knows these better than I do for sure. I would call it a Pelt Rainbo. Marble--On!!
-
These are not Akro colors. I would consider this one a Vitro patch with "Horse Tail" Oxblood inculded. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
Jabo Classic--these are found here and there but they are a great thing to hold and admire. Nice colors no doubt. Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm, I would consider Alley Agate here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!
-
These are hard to find in this condition. Treat it like an egg for sure. This type does does not like being banged around. Great colors by the way. Marble--On!!
-
I do not see any evidence of polishing here. The size points towards Alley but I would not be surprised if it was from one of the Jabo runs. Great marble! Marble--On!!
-
I will give a push towards Akro. This is intentional oxblood imho and it looks like Akro Oxblood to me. Give it a shot of UV light. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

X3--great color combo! Marble--On!!
-
Cool find! Marble--On!!
-
Those are long cutlines that go beyond the colors. I would consider Vitro here. Marble--On!!

Cool stuff Marco. Many of us do not know how these/this type of marbles are made. I for one, appreciate any knowledge of this craft. Thanks for sharing--keep it coming. Marble--On!! -
If you did not have the providence here, I would call it a wvs. It is pretty cool--no name from me. Marble--On!!

Yes you do. Jabo "Classics" are the variety that were made in a factory production that were sold world wide---bazillions of these were made. Martble--On!!

Master Made Marbles were designed to compete with the āGerman Hand-madeā marbles, both in design and hardness. Yours is just huge but it saw some great action in the pits. Yes, it is beat up but this one speaks to meāI just love it. I have not seen many of these larger ones, let alone one that has seen this much play. Someone was winning with very big thumbs and fingers there. Just a monster marble and the player/shooter as well, what a bully this one was. I am ready to call it a Master Made Marbleāan earlier oneānot Master Glass Marble but a Master Made Marble from the earlier times. The base glass was harderāor sometimes softer than the outlying glass, giving the idea of it being a pontil. Glass does not mix, it just gets along with each other, and it takes hits such as yours in different ways. Generally, the outer glass is the weakest. I know that Master Glass made some that were similar, just not as deep in color as this one. (the white) I had fun with this one and I appreciate all opinions regardless of my post. Thanks for sharing this one! MarbleāOn!!

I agree as well, these colors often show up with oxblood involved--I wish that I knew why. Marble--On!!
-
Pretty nice Vitro imho. @Melissa may have another opinion here and I appreciate her input as always. Marble--On!!

Jabo Classic X2. Pretty common really. Marble--On!!
-
I might call this one a weak "Exotic" Conqueror. Nice marble non-the-less. Marble--On!!
