Any idea what these could be? Still having a hard time identifying things.

Pretty interesting all the same.  I've never heard of it.  I looked it up and its part of the 1940 movie promo.

That's even cooler, I'll definitely hang on to it I'm a green hornet fan.

Common screen-printed logo marbles, my guess is they're all  around 1" , worth about $1.00 each individually if that, you can buy them by the case, wish I had better news.

Ya I learned about those when I was younger but the good thing is there's always someone out there that collects them.

Oh ya, I got some good ones.Green hornet is my favorite.

Banded Lutz.  Pretty rough condition - and lutz collectors rarely want them in this condition.  Est. maybe $25 on a good day.

Thanks you this helps alot

Correct on the banded lutz. They call them opaque for some reason even though they are translucent. Condition keeps it from having significant value IMO. Get another opinion since handmades aren't my forte, but to me this would be $50.

Ok cool, thank you for your opinion and knowlegede is helps alot.

Pretty sure this is an opaque banded lutz (type 3). If someone could confirm and maybe give an opinion on value im not sure what its worth and dont want to lose money when selling it. It's in played with condition, has a few chips/flakes/moons.

The best answer is to watch the processes and study the result.  Tank work involves the construction of a cane, one layer and one step at a time.  Sometimes the step is a twist or a cane/frit pick-up or pulling the cane down.

The slower approach is to study and understand how a cane construction marble is made by looking at photos, perhaps Youtube videos.  There are a number of types - just as in vintage handmades.  Each has it's own approach to the process, but the basics are the same.

Over time you can look at a piece and reverse-engineer how it was made step-by-step.  The torch/cane difference is easy to pick up with some study.  They are quite different.

ETA:  The VERY best is to to take classes at studios.  I took torch lessons from Kate Fowle which were 90% bead making, but the process for handling glass at the torch is similar.  I have tank experience at Wheaton and a glass studio conveniently 15 minutes from me.  Both helped immeasurably - not to mention watching true professionals like Ro Purser, Geoff Beetem, Mark Matthews, Harry Besett, Josh Simpson etc.

Very cool thank you, I love learning about glass art

I think I've narrowed in down to Steven Maslach, I read that he rarely signs his marbles and it look alot like others he makes.

Cool thanks for the knowledge, how do you tell the difference between tank and torch in the marble?

Ya it's very dark red and almost has a slight green to it when looked at a certain way. I'd like to sell it but no clue what's it's worth or who made it. I'm new to collecting.

This was in a large collection from an estate in Northern Minnesota if it helps at all. The guy had a very large collection of modern and vintage toys, cards, games, magazines etc.

Not sure who made this or what it's worth if anyone could help me out, the only mark I notice is that small dash or I on the top.

Don't know anything about it.
