If the seam goes completely around the circumference - yes.

Yes, Akro corkscrew. No "name" per se (marble colors really don't need to be named).

Not oxblood. Red glass. Oxblood is darker, usually has black detail lines and isn't transparent.

They come up on Block's auctions semi-regularly. They also appear at shows. The Fall CT show had a few IIRC. -

MABLE SALE: HOW TO SELL 6,000+ RARE ART GLASS MARBLES
Alan replied to carolk's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
How do you know that they are rare? Who is the artist that made them? 6,000 art glass marbles in one place would set a world record. -
At first I thought Akro. Any thought on this one? Maybe transitional

It looks like newer glass in those pics - but the pics appear heavily filtered/processed. It would help to see the raw, unprocessed pic. -
Good, well-focused pics. Newer (and some established!) collectors would do well to look at the glass and it's motion. Its very illustrative of this type.

The only way for anyone to move that footlocker would been to scoop bowls of marbles into buckets to empty it. Six people wouldn't have been able to get it out of the van it was in. He must of filled it the same way. The wood footlocker wouldn't have held the weight of moving it in any case.
