I would like to apologize in advance for my questions. Whenever i developed an interest in something in the past I just started searching and reading until I knew everything I needed to know. Marbles, not unlike Lego mini figures (my other addiction) apparently require a lifetime of learning to understand ! Please bear with me ! I have 3 things on my mind ! First one ! So I found this Itty bitty teensy tinesy thing and I absolutely love it to pieces ! Had to share ! I wasn't near my caliper so I placed it next to a small blue Aleve tablet and a guitar pick. Second ! The old marbles with the ribbons of color....are those ribbons of color called ribbons ? waves ? For some reason I want to call them swishes but im pretty sure Nike already owns Swish ! And why do some marbles have the same type of ribbons on the surface of the marble rather than inside ? And what exactly are those swishy marbles called ? And third ! Any ideas on what themulti colored marble in the third photo[ is ? My Google image searches kept coming up with Jaba but it looked nothing like the others. I like how the salmon top and bottom are completely opaque but the center orange has much more depth ! The salmon stripish things are wider on one side. I thought it was going to wrap around but instead it just tapers down on the opposite side..... it's a beautiful piece

Brand new to this site and I love it already ! I got instant replies to marbles IDs ! I am VERY new to marble collecting and already consider myself obsessed ! Quick question. *OXBLOOD* Is this a brand of marble ? A style of marble ? Specific design or colors ? I have a ton of oxbloods that I have been able to ID through Google image search but they are all VERY different. I know now that some are just considered OXBLOODS but some are also blue OXBLOOD and silver OXBLOOD I have lemonade and I think one was called snake OXBLOOD or something with the word snake. Are there any specific details that make identifying an oxblood easy ?

I know she's been through a lot but I love this one ! The ribbons are so specific ! Any ideas on he identity ? Literal definition of 'Beauty is on the inside ❤️

Thank you so much !

Is this the same ? Akro Slag ?

I recently inherited a large collection of old marbles. With no previous interest in such things, I was surprised to find myself obsessively trying to learn about them. My Google image searches have been about 25% successful. But usually end with just narrowing it down. Im hoping somebody here can help me name my new treasures ! So here goes with my first marble post. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
