    It can be interesting to save these solid marbles in jars by color, to see the wide variety of glass used. 

    Yes, I noticed differences with the solid color marbles, I grouped them by colors before but I mixed them all up again and displayed in a gumball machine.

    You're confusing me. This marble has an opaque base and so do Type IV Tiger Eyes and All Reds, including this one.

    It looks transluscent (or see-through) to me somehow. I get confused with Vitros, I'm sorry.

    If it was a Tiger Eye it would be a Type IV - Type III are veneered on a transparent base.

    But FWIW, I think it's a new style All Red and not a Tiger Eye - the red is just more orange on this one.

    It doesn't look that the base is opaque so it will not be a Type 4, so All Red sounds right.

    Yes, it's a game marble. I am not sure about AV - I don't see any sparkle. It may just be some excess colorant that precipitated out of the glass mixture.

    Thanks @Ric
