Thanks for posting your pics. To help you going forward - using a black background causes your camera to average the exposure on the majority brightness...which is black in this case. Using a neutral gray or beige background will help the camera expose the marbles better and more details will show. Keep collecting!

Better pic of the Blenko please!
-
If this is going to be at the CT show I'd be interested in seeing it in-hand.

It is just that. It has several problems, not the least of which is overheating and wrong glass action moving to the surface where it doesn't belong.

No Akro in that group.

As Tommy noted - "oxblood" can be caused by a chemical reaction in the pot.

The distribution has the look of incidental oxblood. That can occur is most glass pots used for marble making.

Modern marbles made by House of Marbles.

Yes. Age is TBD.

First is likely a divided ribbon core. Second is a banded (coreless) swirl.

Yes

Looks Vacor from here.

As noted - a divided ribbon core. The cane was cold-ish when the shear was made and they didn't round it properly in the cup.

And try a neutral (light gray etc) background. Your camera is averaging the exposure based on the majority black background.
-
The use of flash is over-exposing the pic and eliminating details. Also, try looking at it in a shallow glass of water.

Vaseline marble 39/64's probably an Akro. Any thoughts?
Alan replied to CharlieT's topic in Marble I.D.'s
UV, but not Vaseline. -
Modern - either clay or synthetic.

I have eaten lunches older than that.

Its new glass. Likely Jabo.

The 1950s classics - Watermelon, Spiderman, true Green Hornet(a lot of wannabe's and anemics out there). Oxblood on the first two seem appealing to many, but is incidental to the batch.

And some types one shouldn't imagine.
