Like above, I think three are Popeyes. All except the far right. Popeye requirements, Clear base, white filaments(not solid white), plus two or more other colors. A Popeye can be a corkscrew or a patch style marble. Many companies had a few accidental corkscrews, but Akro was the only company who produced them steady as standard production, year after year. At most marble shows you can find Popeyes in at least one out of every three rooms. They were made by the millions a year for a few years.

No PSA grading, no certified or licensed grading system. Many people use MarbleAlan's grading system as a standard.

Newer Marble Kings. Called Albinos because of the base. MK has marbles of the same run, the same base with black and yellow, named the albino Bumblebee.

Alley

some standard Popeye corks, mint range from $15.00 to $20.00 each. P Purple and yellow Popeye cork, mint range $40.00-$50.00. Just a popular color combo for a Popeye. Hybrid Popeyes get expensive. They have three or more colors in addition to the white. Mint range can be from $150.00 to $500.00. Plus any Popeye with black is high and any with oxblood is high.

All depends on each marble. Some Popeyes are more valuable than normal corks. But a five color cork is worth much more than any Popeye you have above. But if you have a 3/4 inch Hybrid Popeye, you ,might have $500.00. If you have a 1 1/4 inch Jolly Roger corkscrew you might have $1000.00. No set value on all corkscrews or Popeyes. Or for most marbles, each marble is also valued by condition, just as much as how rare it may be. A mint $500.00 marble, graded down to near mint minus is $100.00 or $50.00 . A mint $10.00, down to nm- is $1.00. A Peltier Blue Galaxy might be $1500.00 or $2000.00 if mint. A Peltier Blue Galaxy nm- might be $500.00. But I do not want one at nm- for $50.00. Each collector can be different on values depending on what they have, or had, or exposed to. Plus how much they can afford. There can be a range of values for the same type or style of marble.

I agree Imperial. Correct color combo, 3 ribbon pattern, cuts and eyelashes for Imperial.

Akro and Jabo.

Some Jabo investor run Ultra oxbloods.

Does it glow ?

Messed up Akro cork.

Maybe a light pink or very thin red. Most machine made marbles that glow and many modern contemporary marbles glow because the cullet used in making them glowed originally. All Jabos that glow, do so because the glass cullet(scrap)used to make them glowed originally. Akro, CAC and maybe a couple other companies made marbles with raw batch glass and added material to make the marbles glow. Why I am not sure ? I do not think many kids had a blacklight back in the 1930's- 1940's- or 1950's. I know in the 1950's I had never heard of a black light.

Akro made some very straight seams.

Yes, machine made and contemporary hand made marbles which glow under black light, have been made steady since WWII up until today. Almost if not all the vintage and current machine made companies made marbles which glow under black light up to the present day. Lots of marbles, classics and many investor runs glow. Many modern torch and tank hand made marbles will glow. Even some old German hand made marbles can glow. Some marbles need to glow to be a certain named marble, Akro Lemonade, Cherryade, Orangeade, etc. Alley Pistachio, and many more.

He has sold probably six or ten single and double seam, clear base and blue base Guinea's for me this year. Each one went well over $500.00 each. I will take 100 mint range Guineas single or double seams for $150.00 each. I have never in 25 years seen a double seam Guinea nm+ to mint sell for $150.00.

I have a hundred or more of those oxblood Jabos for sale, $1.00 each. They will be going to the Dayton show next Wednesday. If they last that long ?

Marble King

Nice pictures. I agree Akro.

I think it has a clear or translucent milky white base. Bifurcated means it has two different half and half base glasses. When they were changing from one base glass to another. I see blue and white on both sides. One side the white went under or bleed into the blue.

The Purple Fizz does glow.

I would go with early Alley. Ravenswood had very very few marbles with yellow or yellow to orange. I don't know or remember any Ravenswood with this base color.

Can be a big difference if it is true opaque black or translucent black or transparent black. That can narrow down the makers fast. Many times with a strong back light or bright sun, Black is not so black or may not even be black. If not opaque black, very very high odds of Jabo. The pattern, the big U or V is a Jabo trademark, from a short glass stream from the furnace to the shear.

Most likely Cherry Ade.
