This stood out to me in a Grapette jar I got of marbles the other day. .61 Inch/15.5MM Diameter Is it anything notable? it's kind of pretty, got a couple scuff marks. The pictures don't really do the transparent part justice, the blue has a kind of depth my phones camera couldn't really portray.

Thank you Chad! it doesn't really seem to match any of the descriptions. It does have the flourescent base glass like the "Ades" description, but the blue portion is clear and not distributed appropriately compared to the Ace Examples.

Described by seller as a "vintage/early corkscrew" and included (for free) in a lot of other marbles. Dark blue transparent swirl with a white/pink base that glows super bright under a UV light. The blue kind of trails off into the base (Shown in second image) I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, it was a freebie, I'm just curious where/when it might be from as the entire lot leaned vintage. (.61 inches)

That makes sense, it feels really off in the hand, like it shouldn't have escaped the bins.

.94 Inch diameter, Very odd groove at seam (tried to include close-up in first picture, causing the distortion in the reflection from the lightbox ring.) surface is rather smooth, almost of the little spots are subsurface. It feels kind of goofy too, like it was out of round and then corrected. Am I handmade?

I was able to find a really pretty example of one of the CAC ones that was posted by Chad G. a while back in another thread regarding the blue laces that shows what the base glass was like (Sort of a caramel/champagne transparent base with alot of trapped air); Here is the thread it's copied from; https://marbleconnection.com/topic/26133-cac-blue-lace/

Do you have a blacklight? I am new here, so I only get a 1/2 vote, but It does look like a jabo classic, but It has really pretty spacing if so. I think the CAC ones aren't so busy in the interior, and have alot of bubbleyness throughout the transparent parts. +1/2 Vote for Jabo

When you get a marbles as a gift... (.63 Inch Yellow/Black Mib)

Thank you! The name makes sense, the frosted finish feels kinda fuzzy. -
...but that means theres no extra information about them. These were included with an order for a Jabo Badger as a gift, but that means I have no idea what they might be. This has a really weird surface texture, almost like a matte feel rather than a shiny surface. I cannot tell if it's just old and lost it's luster or if that is how it was as made/mint. I got it wet for the picture to help any of the pattern or swirls show through.

It looks closer to Sea turtle than Tidal wave or Neptune, but it's still really pale compared to the other turtle-y ones.

That dark blue one looks pretty with the teal(?) swirl.
