Gets ya some

I don’t want to get off subject too much but I think, as everyone will agree wholeheartedly agree that every characteristic about a marble helps identify it. Like the tic marks found on Jabo, corkscrews on Akro, the 9 and tail on a MF Christiansen and certainly colors are a big giveaway. I’m still stuck on that “cold roll” look that leaves the swirled lines in the surface. I have some clear .790 marbles that have those lines in and have been told they are industrial marbles. Obviously they were not too concerned about quality but quantity. Is this a common occurrence or were some manufacturers known for letting these get by. I agree after looking at some Vitro Blackies, especially the blue ones that’s probably what it is. Chad G said that Vitros Quality control was excellent. Maybe I have a rare Vitro “flawed Blackie “Marble. $$ 😂😂…… NOT!! I love this stuff.

Here is the size.

I think I’ve looked at 10, 000marbles today with no luck. Heck I can’t even guess what the color it is. I’ve tried caramel, egg yolk. buttermilk, lemon drop. baby poop yellow, cheese and some I can’t remember. I’m out of ideas.

I’ve been lookin all afternoon trying to ID a few marbles. Been reading too. Came across a description of a “Jackson” marble. Now I know these are very rare but they did say that sometimes they showed a corkscrew design. The cut/seam line is seen on Christensen marbles and I did see one on the West Virginia club site. They got a lot of pictures of marbles. The other thing that gets me is the “cold roll” look. How many marble companies had that, or is that something that happened sometimes. I have several marbles that have that cold roll look.

Alley swirl/ flicker ??

Looks good enough to eat. IMG_9352.mov

Maybe Marble King “Spider Man”. ??

Awesome marble. I’m getting somewhat better. Several months ago the only marble I could positively ID was maybe a cat eye. 😂

If it is a Peltier Zebra , it a burnt Zebra.

Fire1981, Ive found some really close examples on Joesmarbles page. Here’s a Heaton and Cairo swirls. Alley looks good to but the Heaton is my guess. Either way my opinion is a West Virginia swirl. Great looking Marbles

I’ve found some marbles on Alan’s marbles and a Peltier page that are close but it looks like a mix between a “Poison bee” / “Hybrid Rainbow”. “Poison Rainbow”. That a nice lookin marble what ever it is.

👍

By the way this is my marble. Another one I’ve been trying to ID. There’s an incredible amount of information in the archives.

Chad G. Identified this back in 2020. I found it in the archives. Champion Red Cloud. Love it.

These are cool marbles. One reason is that I can somewhat identify them. 😁 By the way this is one of the many great marbles I got from Bumble Bee for Christmas. “ I got all the Marbles” 🎉. Very nice UV pop too.

I don’t think is a “Hot Wheel” or “Furnace”. Wished it was a “Red brick” or even an Alley “Flicker”. I’m thinking it an early Burnt Orange Jabo Sunburst swirl but I can’t find that signature Jabo fold/crease line. What I’m I leaving out.

That’s pretty awesome

Beautiful picture

Oh ok. Is is not good to post pics of examples for reference. If so my bad

Oh wow, I can see that. By the way what is OP.

I love to research and investigate these marbles, well anything really. Like it’s been said before, “The thrill of the Hunt” is what makes this fun. I told my son, who collects too we could always call it a snauger. 😁

Boris64, I’m calling on Joesmarbles again. This is a Cairo marble which is-line with Akroorka. West Virginia swirl. That’s just my opinion. Beautiful marble. I love that caramel color.

Fire1981, here is an other example 🤷🏻. Maybe Peltier?
