I’d say CAC on the blue and red one!

X3 and it’s one of the most valuable !

Maybe he put the decimal point in the wrong place and it’s supposed to be $12.74! If you look at his “other items” it looks like stuff from an antique store. He is wrong on most IDs too high on prices. Oh well dream on!

Oh yeah, x2 on Pelt Rootbeer float!

I would count both positive and negative flames. However, the main difference seems to be whether it is a CAC or not. Huge price difference and getting larger all the time. Check out the ones being shown now at a famous marble guys online auction! They are going for what a guinea was selling for just a few years ago!!

I’ll go with bad! Some are getting too close to actual vintage marbles. Like IDing marbles wasn’t difficult enough anyway! I have several that are outstanding but future worth?? Also it seems like the glass is inferior and gets marked up easily. But like was said, what do you collect for? Get what you like. I have several guineas and flames but many Pelt Rainbos too!

I’ll second cheese, Jabo or Das. Ya don’t see yellow except rarely in RWs. Plus the blue swirls don’t dive.

Not seeing RW and the size would argue against too. Many WV swirl companies made trannys like this.

Thanks! Although I was wrong about Pelt not making a 15/16” mib! Just very rare. I have seen MCRs that big but not NLRs! jon

There are several sets of these by Jabo also on eBay and one large bunch too. jon

These two are presently on eBay at 15/16”. That’s the first problem, the color and patterns seem off also and even though they both have a seam it just feels weird! What thinketh thou? Modern torch made? Did Jabo have a special run this size? Vacor? I am pretty sure Peltier didn’t. thanks jon

All appear newer versions except maybe the top bee. Jon

Of the vintage Marble King varieties! jon

Fire likes whacky, so why not Ravenswood swirl? 😜 jon

I picked this one up on a whim. Solid opaque black or dark green with what appears to be oxblood streaks. I’m thinking MFC oxblood slag?? It has st least one seam. Block states they are so dark they are often overlooked as game marbles. She measures 5/8” and low mint. Doesn’t look Pelt which it was sold as. thanks jon

It sure is!! Nice one! A striped opaque with electric swirls. jon

Thanks guys, I didn’t think striped transparent because of the random flow of the red but anything can happen in the process. Nice piece, nice size, nice price over my limit!! Lol. Just glad I bought those guineas 15 years ago, crazy now! thanks jon

A seller has this posted on eBay as a CAC Burnt Orange Slag. Most books by so called experts say that a CAC slag must have white opaque swirls on a transparent colored or clear base. So is this a cobra or cyclone or not even a CAC? It measures 3/4”, no seams I can see. If it were bigger I would venture maybe even an Atmosphere! What do you think at $500?? Thanks jon

The blue seems wrong as do the ribbons on the blue one and the red seems too dark. Maybe a burnt Zebra? thanks jon

Yes, I know it’s not a chocolate oxblood, and wasn’t the Brick originally named the American Cornelian? And it’s not oxblood at all, it’s transparent. Anybody have any examples with a similar brownish looking base that is really red? thanks! jon

This one measures 11/16” and appears chocolate brown and opaque with a few white streaks that seem to be on the surface. But back lit it is a dark transparent red! Ya got me, what do you think? thanks Jon

This one measures 9/16” and looks RW to me. What’s your opinion? thanks jon

I’m not an expert on RWs, just started collecting them this year. However, I have several blue and green ravens but no red. They are the rarest I’m told and to me they do not stand out as obviously ravens compared to the blue and green. If any of these are re ravens, I would say the two on the far right in your last picture. They need to be on a tan base with transparent red swirls with brownish tracer lines and the swirls should cover the entire marble. I’m including a pic. Good luck. jon

Could be fire, but most ive seen have more clear glass exposed, kinda like a cobra. But could be, don’t know what other name would fit. See attachments. Atmospheres my friend has. jon

Imo no, needs to be on tan base
