  1. Video works for me. I'm out of my league as far as an I.D. goes, but I do notice a slight dent/dip on the surface, at around the 6 second mark. I don't remember the terminology for those imperfections... Cold roll? Just thought I'd mention it - awesome marble.

  2. I believe there is one Vitro All Red (red, white, yellow) in the mix, and possibly a Marble King with the fat yellow stripe, though I'm not sure on that one. Some of them could be West Virginia Swirls but can't tell from just these angles.

  3. Akro is my best guess at the moment. apologies for the poor quality, I hoped to get better photos but couldn't get them off my other phone. I can at least say that these photos are color accurate. some are taken in indirect sunlight, others taken using flash. the base (the white half, not actually sure if that is the base technically) is a very very faint blue, and becomes normal white in some spots near the patch. there is also a strip of yellowish tan on one end of the patch.

    there are a few cracks and one chip on the marble, but they likely aren't visible in any of the photos. there is a "dent" visible in photos 7 and 8 at the seam. it is likely a manufacturing defect, though I'm not sure how likely that is on an Akro.

    the marble is somewhere around 16mm or 17mm. All help is appreciated!

  4. the middle two marbles look like Vitro All Reds, the top marble could be a Vitro Caged Cat's Eye, the far right marble is likely either Vitro or Marble King but it's difficult to tell without more angles. The blue on the left looks like it may be a West Virginia Swirl, though I wouldn't be able to name the maker. The green speckled one is most likely either a foreign marble or a Vacor.

  5. I'm not a professional, even less so when it comes to marbles this old, but I can at least give an early response.

    The marbles in the first photo are glazed clay marbles called Benningtons. They are imported from Germany, I think from between 1850-1950 roughly. I could be a bit off.

    Photos 2-5 are a range of glass, clay/crockery and maybe even "china" marbles (photo 2) but I am unsure. A quick google search or visit to the marblecollecting site would give you more information on them.

    Photos 6 and 7 are mostly German handmades with maybe a few outliers. They are the most collectible of the bunch, but it depends heavily on condition and type. I don't know much about them, but there are plenty and sources and people who can tell you a lot about them. This site is definitely a good place to start if you're interested in learning.

    the lighter one with the bubble almost has a flame pattern

    there's also this dark bluish green one I got in the same batch that is tough to capture, but it's slightly out of round, has brown and white swirls and a piece of furnace debris. I suspect it's related to the others, same size as the white one.
