Looking forward to more photos. I'd say there are some Veiligglas opaque swirls in the last bag.

Worked on my pic quality. What do I have here?
duotone replied to FirelakeLB's topic in Marble I.D.'s
The dark red on blue base (third photo) I suspect is an Alley, fourth photo is a Peltier Rainbo, and the last three look like Vitro All Reds. The others are intriguing but more views of each are needed. -
Interesting discussion. I imagine every collector has wanted to see a magnified view at some point. It's not necessarily about finding flaws but more about admiring these small objects in a more immersive way. It's pretty enjoyable sitting in a sunny window looking at marbles with a loupe.
-
I agree with both of you that they're Vitro Conquerors.
-
Agreed, Peltier Rainbo.
-
Agreed, looks like a Vacor Wicked Owl to me too.
-
Also, looks like streaks of red in one or two Cub Scouts in that bag—appealing and perhaps older.
-
In my opinion, yes. The swirls in the second and third pictures are Akro Milky Oxbloods and Silver Oxbloods, with the exception of maybe one or two non-oxbloods. Looks like an Akro Lemonade Oxblood in the back of those pictures too. The first picture shows a group of nice oxblood patches, though I'm not sure of the makers. Great bunch of marbles.

I agree with Alley. These seem like Alley St. Marys Ghosts with a different colorway. The new West Virginia Swirls book--excellent and highly recommended--shows a marble like this in the Alley St. Marys section.
-
I'd say it's a dyed clay marble. More appealing than the plain clays, in my opinion.
-
It can be interesting to save these solid marbles in jars by color, to see the wide variety of glass used.
-
I agree that it's a Rainbo. I like the green to pink to blue gradient on one side.
-
Looks like a PPP to me too, and there's an appealing CAC-ish red slag above it. Agree too about the element of risk with a single view through a plastic bag.
-
I agree it's a Master.

My name is John. I'm overdue to introduce myself. An ongoing fascination with marbles brings me here. I appreciate this community and all the great information here. My thanks to you all.

In addition to the first Akro, I see some appealing slags and swirls. If you like the condition after checking them I'd say $35 for everything (except the three plastic sports marbles which I know nothing about).
-
Agreed, Peltier Rainbo. Pleasing colors.
-
I agree, looks like a PPP.

The images are coming out dark because the camera is autoexposing for the whole scene, including the white background. If possible, spot meter on the marble in the center for better exposure. Or set exposure manually using a medium gray background, then switch back to shooting on the white background.

Looks like a Peltier Rainbo to me.

I agree, a Peltier Rainbo.
-
Good point that it's not only a transparent base, but one side is that bubbly blue base—almost mossy. It's a nice one.
-
Looks like a Peltier transparent base Rainbo to me. Recognizable colors.
-
I agree if the goal is to sell them, I don't see rarities, but I am always drawn to the West Virginia swirls visible here and there in this group. Translucent with black or red swirls—worth a closer look.
-
I agree these are Alley.
