  1. I think you have a Vitro. I have some very close to this. They are from the late 1970's early 1980's. Nice detailed pictures. Mine are not that good. Your marble has more clear base than mine show. But the same color combination. Yours the top of the line of what I have.
  2. Akro, they were in my original 100 count Akro Sparkler box.

    At that size, likely MFC.

    ID needed...

    No oxblood. Asia made marbles packaged by Imperial. Value about 10 cents to 25 cents each at the most.
  5. Damaged game marble. Almost every machine made company made these in different colors and sizes. Most are near or impossible to identify. This is a reason they have very little or no value to collectors. The sparkle is damage, broken glass edges. This marble was most likely made between 1930 and the 1960's.
  6. Need pictures of the glowing one, with and without the blacklight. Close good pictures can change a identification. Colors need to be accurate and more than one side of the marble shown. Show any cut lines, seams, or pontil, if possible. Not all marbles show cut lines.
  7. Ok better pics. The top right is Alley.

    Akro - Vitro Black line All Red - Marble King Alley never produced a patch type or patch style marble. All three of these are patch or patch and ribbon type marbles. Alley produced swirl type marbles.
  9. Left two are either Jabo or Cairo ? Center probably Vitro. I can see one cut line. Right two- top maybe Champion, bottom maybe Ravenswood, if 9/16. The center and two right look odd. Like a bleed to pink, which is not usual for vintage marbles. Need more or close in focus pictures for more accurate ids.
  10. Condition is the number one factor. No matter how rare, how many colors, age, size etc. The four above go in the 4 for $1.00 box. But the next marble could be $10.00 or $100.00 or $500.00 ??????? If it is fractured, if chipped good or missing glass, scratched hazy foggy, etc. Give it to the kids.
  11. Correct, it is a Akro corkscrew. Made in Clarksburg WV. In this condition worth about ten to twenty five cents. Mint worth about $1.00 - $3.00. A mint four color Akro cork can be worth $100.00. The marble might be very rare but if condition is not high near mint or mint the value drops 50% to 75%. Condition is the most important to collectors, not age, not style, not colors, not rare, etc. It needs to be nm+ to mint to have much value at all.
  12. Looks like the white may have twisted right up through the center.
  13. Vitro. I think they are later than Tri Lites. The Tri Lites are not veneered. These are white veneered over clear. The yellowish tanish color is reflection from the brown and greens. The last ones posted are All Reds.

  17. The red white/blue maybe Champion. The blue/white is a slag or transitional. Agree with Japan transitional ?
