Thank you

Nice thank you!!!

These are all different marbles. I can add more pictures if needed. Some of these I’m just really struggling with. I feel like a positive id could help me narrow down the ones that come from that particular company.

For the love of exotic hybrids! Vitro help needed!

I have no idea. So far I have come up with a hybrid vitro conqueror. However I literally started learning a month ago. 🤷♀️ I could be 💯 wrong. -

This is the best I could do. I tried everything I could think of. It has this faint red band around the top that doesn’t want to allow light through and the glob inside prevents light from coming through either. The bottom is the best but a terrible glare.

I can I will try to get a good one. -
A little while back I posted some pictures. I knew absolutely nothing about my marbles and NOW…(I still dont know much) I didn’t have a clue about seams or cut lines or swirls. Once you see the seams it’s almost impossible to unsee. I now know a little better how to take pictures for identification. I have what I believe could be a Vitro hybrid exotic conqueror. Any help would be appreciated. I took several pictures and tried to brighten them up a little. Thank you in advance…
-
I appreciate all the knowledge from everyone…. I think I’m making progress with identifying at least some by company…. 🤷♀️maybe anyway!
-
I don’t know I’m still struggling with the lines and swirls. 🤷♀️ some look so similar but then they don’t. It’s maddening!

The black shouldn’t be to hard some of these little townships still use paper ballots lol. I bet if I went poking around some of them I could find something!
-
They really do! Very cool thank you…
-
Thanks everyone I’m still trying to learn. Unfortunately it may take time as I discovered not a soul in central Pennsylvania to learn from. So for now it’s all internet and books.
-
I can’t lie my heart rate increased when I found these… They were super hard to get pictures of. I tried many angles and different light. I zoomed in with my magnifying camera to try to get more detail. One is cracked from pole to pole twice. The other is beautifully perfect.
-
These little buggers make my head hurt trying to identify them. LOL
-
If so is that red on this some type of metallic oxblood?
-
I was trying to add photos to my page. I can’t figure out how to do it. I THOUGHT oh maybe you have to add through gallery. That’s a hard NO I might add 😳 so I now have 500 pics in the gallery and some for the love I hadn’t cropped. (That was a whole different episode) 🙄 If I delete the whole gallery thing I have how do I add those to my own personal page? (I was an 80’s kid this tech stuff kills me at times)

1 Tostitos jar $, 1 sugar shaker $, 1 tiny jewelry box drawer $, 1 pickle jar $, spending my Tuesday playing with my weekend find….. PRICELESS!!!😂😊 it was a fun weekend.

You are correct I cleaned it. 100% has damage I can feel it more now.
-
Probably it looks chipped it doesn’t feel super bad though. I love glass I collect glass and this little marble feels like very good quality glass in reality I can only feel one actual chip. Maybe I will give it a good scrub it might just be dirty. I’m pretty sure that’s one I came across in the dirt.
-
Haha I don’t know enough to call it anything really. I glad to finally be learning a little though.
-
On this one you can clearly tell it hand made but I can’t see a top spot only a bottom. Maybe it was smoothed over better? Thank you for explaining that as well I literally feel kinda dumb about the marbles now. How I have been so infatuated with them for so long and I never really had the time to learn more about them. I’m a little embarrassed to be so clueless. This one has a much prettier green.
-
I mean on the German one. I have one of those lattice looking ones and you can see the 2 spots. I have 2 of the green German ones the one I shared pictures of and a second one that looks to be in rougher shape but I only see one spot on it. I can share pictures with you. Maybe you be able to see what I can’t.
-
No I saw it in the picture also it’s feels smooth. Like some of the marbles I have that have weird spots similar to this I can feel or catch with my finger nail. I don’t feel this one. To just look at it you can’t even see it.
-
So I have a question the other one I have I really don’t think has mica. I can’t really tell but it appears to only have one pontil spot. Which I’m assuming would mean it’s the first from the rod? Does that make a difference?
-
I appreciate all the information and kindness from everyone. I have always just been drawn to the old marbles. I just grab jars when I go to estate sales or antique stores. I haven’t participated in online sales or purchased expensive individual ones. I love finding them in the ground most. I have never paid a lot of attention until recently. This group is just one of the best I have found.
