I agree with most here that these look CAC. The patterns and separation of colors lean toward CAC to me.
-
Agreed, looks like an Akro Snake. Nice.
-
Agree that it's a WVS not a slag. Not sure of the maker though. Maybe others will chime in.
-
Agree that it's a natural stone sphere, not a marble. Looks like Tiger's Eye.
-
I agree with Marble King—later, I think. I've seen these called Anemic Bees.
-
Yes, looks like a Vacor Spaghetti.
-
Agreed, Peltier Rainbo, satisfying colors.
-
All beauties. Double ingots resulted in great patterns here.
-
I agree with Fire that the ribbon on the outside is black. Good to know about how the light blue streak inside affects classification, though.
-
I agree that it's a Master Tiger Eye. Nice to see at shooter size.
-
Agreed, Peltier Rainbo.
-
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?

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.
