Here are my ideas— The left one is a slag—not from the USA imho—the colors are weird. The second one is a Veiligglas marble. The third one—well who knows!! Marble—On!!
-
Just for reference--post an "inky" Fire. These are close to being "muddy's"--that being said--if they are "little muddy's"--yes they do come bigger. I have seen the blue "muddy's at 1". Marble--On!!

One more for the road. A black slag--really a purple slag but this one eats up light like it is black. Probably an Akro--yeh I know, it has a little tail but "machinemades" show up with little tails too😁. Marble--On!!
-
A killer Jabo "Contract" run marble--the run eludes me. Maybe @Nantucketdink will chime in here. Marble--On!!

Size always matters--lol--with marbles and an ID. Veiligglas marbles come in a variety of sizes that I will defer to @Mojo for. Marble--On!!

This is what the folks playing on the show "Survivor" practice with😁. Marble--On!!

Not a Master William. Image one and image ten show blow out holes-- from production---not too common in a Master Made Marble--or a Master Glass Marble. Not really too common in a Vitro either for that matter--but more so imho. (Maybe its a Pelt)---not. Marble--On!!

This may be hard for anyone to believe—but—Chad’s marble and mine may be from the same production run, not the same run of colors—just the same run. The machines/ovens kept running until they broke down for whatever reason. Production was never stopped to change size or colors--- back then at least—and more than likely now as well. “Keep them running” is in the mind of any production team. Color changes and variations are more common than anyone may think. The rollers kept rolling, the furnace gases kept cooking, the workers kept working and the colors were bound to change over time—until something broke. This was a time for a size/color changeover, when it broke or wore out—not during production. It was not about “pretty marbles” so much as it was about keeping cost’s low. The lucky few of us that have nice “Hybrid” Pelts or other makers may understand this a bit better. All companies did this and this is why all companies have some very weird and rare marbles. Some of the manufacturers had quality control that picked these crossovers out better than others—some just let them go. These posted are mostly Akro and they sure as heck could have come from the same “Run”. I call them “Uniques” but there is nothing unique about them. Just my thoughts--- Marble—On!!

So confused with slags and swirls Part 2
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I agree—pretty common swirls that many companies made. Check # 4 for any UV reaction—it may be a Pelt imho. The other two (#1 and #2) may also have some UV reaction—probably Akro imho. Keep on keeping on and you will get it eventually. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more— Marble—On!! -
#1 may be a swirl--#3 is probably a Pelt--- #5 looks to be"handgathered"--maybe a MFC. The rest are more than likely Akro imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more-- Marble--On!!

Whisplers--agreed! Marble--On!!

I agree with "Whispler". Marble--On!!

Hmm-consider Vacor "Blue Jay". Marble--On!!

I am seeing Jabo here--lets get @Nantucketdink involved. Marble--On!!

Wow--how do you make a round marble look flat?? There are plenty of "dug" Germans in the market--your first may be one--it does not look like "Play wear" to me. The second one is --well--pretty nice looking. Marble--On!!

I do not see any AV--some bubbles may fool you. I would sort this one as a Vacor "Twister". Nice marble! Marble--On!!
