I would guess a very early Ravenswood Glass. Made by L.E. Alley from batch glass. When he made his very first ever marbles. Now you know why two car loads of CAC people broke into Ravenswood glass and destroyed all the equipment. Not many companies in 1929 making machine made swirl style marbles. CAC and Ravenswood Glass. It was late 1929 and people did not sue and wait to take you to court. Alley very soon left Ravenswood and moved to making marbles at Paden City WV. Ravenswood Glass was later reformed and then named Ravenswood Novelty Company. Nice marble.

We made a lot of them at Jabo. I did the spraying on a few thousand.

I have always liked and collected the drizzles from any company. They are a one of a kind, no two alike.

I have only seen two groups so far. I passed up the first group 2-3 years ago. I bought the next group. Both were from a long time collector. I think they might be called rare.

Any Bakelite collectors ? Some 1930's Bakelite marbles. Light weight and opaque but with bright light they look almost translucent. The large one is about1 1/8 inch and the others are all near 3/4 inch. I have not found many of these. Not sure how rare they are ? If you have some post some pictures.

I thought it would be or near 3/4 inch. It is Jabo.

Dave nailed it.

Sure thing X4.

One of the many great rewards of marble collecting. They are the future. What you spread around, comes back around.

Size ?

A three inch 20 lobe onionskin with heavy mica. A Lighting Strike A birdcage How many wishes are we allowed ? How big is the magic lamp ?

Just a small setback. There are more marbles to hunt. I lost a very big portion of my collection in 2005, due to a divorce. It was good size, thousands of all price ranges. But I built it again and maybe even more. Some I have never replaced. But I now have several that I never had before. If I had a choice would I take my first collection or my second collection. No doubt I would take the second collection. The second time around, I was more careful with conditions. What I liked and not what was the latest craze. I stopped chasing the names. I did not need three or four of the same thing. I no longer need a loupe to see av, oxblood etc. If that is required, I am not interested. So maybe the next marbles you get may be as nice or even better that what you had to give up. It is a lot easier to replace or find more marbles than it is to replace family.

Thank you Ann. Glass colors do not mix or blend to make a new different color. I see or hear it every day with marble talk. That is a yellow blend or that's a blend of blue and green. That is a bended hybrid. I am sure that I have done it. But glass colors do not blend to make a different color. Yes they can lay over top of each other and look a different color, especially over white. Temperature will affect glass color. Sammy has some that is clear. When heated to make marbles it is nice cranberry red. Some colored glass can get to much heat and turn brown then even black. Many times there are powdered chemicals added to enhance color. These can cause chemical reactions and change colors. But glass colors do not blend to make a new different color. Glass colors and paint colors are much different.

X2 for Alley.

There are marbles for one cent each and there are marbles for $10.00 each or $1000.00 each. Just like autos, some are worth much more than others. A 2020 Cadilliac is worth a lot more than a 1989 Ford Escort. Being old does not make a marble valuable. Condition is number one with marbles. Because a marble glows under a uv black light does not mean it is old or valuable. There can be a long list of things to be aware of before buying marbles. Unless you buy them cheap at craft store or Walmart, just for display crafts, or kids play. DO NOT believe any sales pitch, more people do not know what value their marbles have, than ones who do know. Do not rely on any auctioneers listing. old, vintage, rare, etc. If you pay more than $1.00 for any single marble, you need to know what you are buying.

Every machine made marble is cut twice by a glass shear. The hot glass stream flows from a furnace down to a shear where it is cut twice, bottom and top, then the glob falls onto grooved rollers which make the hot elongated glass glob round into a marble. It cools and hardens has it travels down the length of the rolls. Some marbles will show two cut lines, some show one cut line and some show no cut line. Cut lines can roll and fold inside a marble. Most swirl style marbles do not show cut lines. Learn what style marbles there are, patch, ribbon, patch and ribbon, swirl, corkscrew, brushed patch, popeye, oxbloods, cat eye, etc. There are many You Tube videos on making machine made marbles. Also different You Tube videos on identing many marbles. Learn what is a hand made marble, and a machine made marbles and modern contemporary marbles. Learning can be free. Buying and learning after you buy can get expensive. Cut lines below

The Jabo comic marbles are modern and still sell today for about what they sold for new or less. I had a box of about 50 of them at the recent Fort Wayne IN show. I had $1.00 each on them. I never sold a one. I even offered them for 50 cents each, to a few who did look down at them. Kids at a flea market is about the only hopes of selling them. I was a regular visitor at Jabo several years when these were being made and sold by Jabo. Almost all of them were sold on blister paks in groups of three or five. The age would be, made around 2005-2010 .

Why $188.00 shipping ? Anyone can ship these to any place in the USA in a USPS large flat rate box for about $20.00. Maybe even in a flat rate medium box to about $17.00 . I agree your marbles are mostly modern and or lots from Mexico. A few Vitro All Reds etc. and some old clays that have very little value. Probably the whole group maybe to a new beginning collector $20.00 if that much .

About $1.00 each if you can get that.

Yes

Thank you

That is no Champion furnace marble.
