Idk I'm a ravenswood collector it just doesn't seem to fit. I wonder could it be a miller swirl it has that quality to it. The pictures do it no justice it's picking up crazy reflections. Light tent will be up soon when I find it.😆

Found it here in the archives not sure why it linked to photobucket?

Caught that 😀

I believe the second one is a peltier. Not sure enough to comment on the first, it sure has the right look imo.

Came with early American mades there was a couple Cacs,akros and alleys . SORRY ABOUT THE TAPE im renovating the marble room and I lost my caliper. White is opaque . Thanks in advance

I'm not familiar with guinea styles and who did them. I collect the early german style contemporarys by Jim mainly. Nice mibs just so hard to pin down without provenance. Edit I just did a quick search it's the andy davis that seem to with signatures.

@akroorka I completely understand. Nah Nothing more then an irk. It's human to focus on making our point and sometimes we oversee the original intention of the poster. I would love to see a community of people who talk marbles all day , I've and the rest have probably seeing to many id's given without a nod back . I have two grand children that hopefully will be on here soon and they will be well versed on vacor 😋

My bathroom colors as well. The horse hair I'm not sure pretty broad stripe I keep it in with my alleys .

A few for the wvs thread. Some recent finds. 5/8 for green with horse hair for size .

Looks asian based on glass finish and comparables I have. Some of these shooters can be real deceiving of makers. Just my opinion take it as you may 😊

Not akro imo I see master as well. Could be wrong it happens ☺️

Wow I can see.why they're you're favorites. I can't pick one but I do love the michangelos.

Here's a fun thread here for the OP

Fair enough. My thoughts are even if it a redundant practice, it still leaves room to educate and help . Just observation but the person with the AV brick lately , no one explained that she had a patch marble it could have elevated her understanding a bit. Maybe I'll start posting links for the fresh collectors simple explanations available here. Thanks I appreciate your replies!

Very little is used today not enough to worry about pretty sure the op is just trying to learn. And are re you trying to say akro ades have no more value just because they glow. Most marbles that are reactive get more money on ebay. I Really notice how negative the replies are in general not just yours. This group is not welcoming of new people and unwilling to educate Complete newbies, but more of a shoo fly mentality. I love old toys and people who collect them but not so much here.

Very nice group. Trying to locate A Raven myself htf.

Another for Asian transistional

I have jim davis signed and Steve's. I think it's rick that didn't sign. Sorry I'm no help for id .

Some alleys not many. Same with peltier usually just a ribbon shows up. Kokomo I believe tend to have a lot. Just a couple I'm sure of. Now there is uranium which is green and then cadium is another color altogether, depending on short or long range uv light the colors will vary.

I'm not a huge fan I think they look like lava pottery in glass.

Some runs especially the shooters seem to have an extra color. Like already mentioned they could be fillers . The newer nets especially hobby lobby seem to have the wildest combos. Just my opinion of course , usually vacors don't escape me for Id's but the newer nets seem to be changing.

Caithness made in Scotland. The only PWs I have left.

Looks like an elephant of sorts. Curious where did this come from New nets or old ones??

Vacor looks like the ones for import, and a blend of sorts.
