Highly transparent. Part of the seam is so heavy, it's protruding out from the surface of the marble.

Is that your little marble display holder, Fire?

I'm not sure, Benningtons are just about my least knowledgeable marble.

I don't know much about Bennington marbles except this, "Bennington marbles were not made by a single company but were a type of antique, non-glass clay marble produced in large quantities in both Germany and the United States, primarily during the mid-1800s. They are known for the unique "eye" or bullseye patterns that formed when marbles touched during the firing process in the kiln." "oxblood" describes an opaque, deep rust-red color, often with black filaments, that resembles dried blood. This color is distinct from other reds because it is always opaque, meaning it is solid and doesn't allow light to pass through, unlike transparent or translucent reds. It can appear on various base colors and patterns, such as in an oxblood corkscrew or swirl, but the key characteristic is its unique opaque, dark-red appearance with black filaments" You may have an oxblood snake. Akroorka may be able to confirm it. He should be around tomorrow. He probably knows a lot more about Benningtons as well. Hope this helps...

It certainly looks like it could be some type of oxblood in a clear base. Is there a bunch of glass bubbles in it?
-
Well, if that last marble is an oxblood snake, it could be worth 100-200 depending on any damage. We'll need more pictures of it. Here's one that's 200. I believe it's in good shape.

Nice aqua blue slags, green/white German and a possible oxblood snake for your last picture.

Now I think I'm getting a headache. Also, Alyssa Michalsky from MIC's Mibs thinks that the one I'm getting is a Peltier Bloody Mary and it has Peltier and CAC characteristics. Now I have a nosebleed...

It's a looker whatever it is. The asking price is north of 500. He says it's from the 1920s.

This is my fourth. Hopefully my last when filled. It holds my under 11/16" marbles. Handmade by the seller.

Chad, is it possible to put an educated guess age on this? It's about .69

Correct, CAC. I have a similar blue one with a hook.

If it means anything, parts of the marble are supposed to be transparent.
