Put me down for Jabo or SMM.

I recommend that you dial-down the lighting a bit.

For a better view, place it in a glass of water.

Vitro for me.

I could be interested in mint Veiligglas and certain handmades, including groups.

Opinion: I find the word "hybrid" to be unhelpful. A hybrid is a cross between two different distinct types of something. It somehow was introduces into marbles to suggest that a marble has some color in it other than the typical variety.... which has nothing to do with the word 'hybrid'. I don't expect noting this to change anything.

2nd one is a fried marble.

A coreless swirl (?) with 2 colours. More than that I can't say!

I'll also note that the clear is unusually clear. -
Best classification is a solid core. A rather ghostly one. It has no spaced bands at the core, so not a divided. The color is thin due to limited frit pickup in that particular area, likely near the end of the cane.

Handmade Joseph's Coat? Coreless swirl? It's all rather complicated...

Does the base actually have that pink tint as the pic shows?

From the last pic I'd call Divided core.

Akro all day.

Those appear to be painted-on logos.

Make sure you measure drawer clearance.

It is a tri-level solid core. A nice one. Keeping the bands consistent when the cane has been worked down to 1/2" is a reflection of real skill. Cane cut marbles were made in Germany (and later, in England) from around 1860 - 1920.

As noted - those aren't pontils. Pontils don't look like that.

Its not a Clambroth. Maglite or other.
