I assume you are looking for an ID since we're in the ID section?

They hand made German marbles cut from a cane. The first is a divided ribbon core swirl and the second is a white latticino core swirl.

This will be my first Latticino

Thanks

That looks like an old single-gather hand made glass marble. The little "nubbin" in the first picture looks like a melted pontil. It may be a Navarre.

This sounds really cool.  A new find for me

I have joined a number of pages as a very new marble guy.  I want to learn to identify marbles, but also, this is a new hobby for me to help me recover from some surgery.

This page is the one that have consistently recieved responses to my posts, and never have I felt like I have overstepped.

That is a testament to the regulars that monitor and take the time to answer all the people like me.

I'm sure it gets tedious when newbies join and ask all the same questions, but the group here are doing a great job.

Thank you for making me feel welcome.  If at any time I cross the line with too many useless posts, please feel free to reach out and let me know.

All the best from this old Canadian newbie!

Another I bought in its own ziplock.  I assumed it was a clay, but when I got home, it has some translucency.

Any help is appreciated!

I admit I have not even tried to start to identify clays yet but this was in its own ziplock so I grabbed it.

Could it be a Bennington?

I went hunting to some antique malls and found a few things that excited me a bit.  These were both found in 10.00 jars.

They are both best up, but I am really excited to know they are out there to find

I have somebody local that is trying to sell me this lot.  I am not good enough to believe a stranger yet, trying to flip something on a know newbie.

Are they what he says they are?

Thank you

Frosted rainbow I believe 

Oh nice.  Something new for me to dive into.  Are they modern, because the glass does look old?

Yes, it's a vintage Vitro Bull's Eye.

That's awesome.  Thanks!

I really like the look of this one

Jabo?

No. That's a nice machine-made Vitro🔥

Vintage though?

Thanks again

All came in the same jar

Starting to notice this colour a bit more.  Now just need to be sure when identifying.

Thank you!

Was scanning some new purchases and this guy "looked" at me.

WOW ! That’s really cool. Somehow that piece was on the roller and was picked up by that marble. It’s amazing it didn’t blow. That is a Top Shelf Keeper. Lucky you🔥

I'm still not sure what is going on.  It looks like someone stuck this on after.  I don't think it's part of the marble 

This shooter was in a lot of other shooters.  It has an arrow stuck on it, pointing at something.

I'm still learning cut lines and seams, so I don't understand.

It is trying to show a seam?

The marble looks modern to me

Thanks

I picked up a couple of books with a lot of marbles and this book was included.

It is signed and numbered, so it's a limited copy.  I have no idea how to value something like this.  The comps I have seen are all over the map.

Any help is very appreciated

Vacor 

Is there a type of Vacor this is?

These are not marbles I am familiar with but they do not look like American marbles to me - maybe Vacor (Mexican), and I now wonder if the glass is intentionally frosted.

They actually almost look hand painted, but I don't think they are

I am not sure about the marble - it may be Asian. But the glass looks like it has spent time submerged in an aquarium or something. It looks like "beach glass" but given that you found similar ones together, that seems less likely.

Tomorrow I'll line them up in one picture.

Thank you

In one of the jars I bought today, there were a bunch of shooters that looked like this.  The glass looks old, but cloudy, and most have just the one colour.

Is this some sore of vintage, or nothing at all?

Thanks for the offer, however I think postage may be a little steep!

I'm in Canada and use a discount shipper.  Think about it, and if you change your mind I can always give you the price shipped

Yep, you're right. I spotted one included in an Ebay lot of marbles last week and looked up what it was. Weird that this topic should come up so soon on here, and even weirder that only a few days before that, me and my son had been looking up what the most sides a dice can have is. 

I didn't bother bidding, but I'd like to pick one up at some point.

DM me.  This one is a bit worn, but I don't date want to polish it in any way.  If you're interested, I'm sure we can work something out.
