Oxblood. I'll wait for the lower light pics for ID.

Wood.

In those pics it appears to be a game marble.

Roller crud.

Doesn't look iridescent to me, but the pics are weird because of too much flash.

Jabo. I think you are chasing the UV thing to no good end.

I haven't heard of a 'Gooden'.

Following normal English language syntax. Also see: proper use of the apostrophe.

I watched a guy botch a hand grenade once. Time to move fast.

Actually - its "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades".

I don't see anything of interest.

Its not a MK Watermelon.

Put it in a glass of water just covering the marble.

What people call "lashes" are caused by dull shears. Any manufacturer.

You camera is unable to focus that close. Back up the camera until the marble comes into focus. Look up how to do a manual center focus select. Also, pics taken on a black background will always come out dark, as the exposure averages on the background unless you choose what part of the image to focus on.

Try not to look at mass-production marble making as a precision process. It wasn't. You can't produce perfection at 1/20th of one cent each with crude tools in a dimly lit shop.

I will say not Ravenswood.

I don't see anything aggressive in this post. It seems a reasonable question in a world where many people are declaring this and that as rare or the unfortunate use of the term "same run" to describe machine mades. Maybe someone has an estimate of production (?). In the case of a company with production as staggeringly huge as Vacor serving a worldwide market, the concept of a limited production of a marble design is worthy of discussion.

What color/tint is the base?

I have looked at the signature pics in different ways/different assumptions and have nothing in my mind or list. The style doesn't point to any particular style and could have been made by most any tank artist.
