Serine23 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 OK. So here are 5 images, I separated them into numbered rows, and batches. I pulled out damaged ones, though I just noticed one in the 5th image at the bottom. Thank you for any assistance in identifying these. My kiddo is interested in making a collection or building on my grandfathers collection, but I'll likely sell any that are truly special. I love the green on in the 2nd image in row 4, 3rd from the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 That's a lot of marbles for one thread. I split this off into its own thread because that's the first step -- a new thread for each new group to ID. We'll see if anyone feels like jumping in and ID-ing a few. One kind of marble you might be able to quickly learn to ID is the Akro Corkscrew. If you can master that one, you'll have a nice chunk of yours ID-ed. Picture 1, Row 1, #7 might be a corkscrew. And Picture 1, Row 2, #4. And Row 3, #1 And Row 4, #4 and #5 And some others. The last row in Picture 1 -- #8 (2nd from right) might be one. That's interesting. I'll stop there for now. Two reasons that we need only a few marbles per thread: 1) It's a daunting task to see so many at once and try to ID. 2) Often we need more than one view of a marble to be able to ID it, so when we start asking for extra views in a thread which has a lot of marbles, that gets very complicated. That said -- I would like to see more views of that blue and yellow one on the bottom row in Picture 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 That green one that you like in the 2nd image might be an Alley Agate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeHelmets Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Maybe Peltier Rainbo Swirls, last 5th picture, black white and red? Row 6 # 1 & 5 Row 8 # 1 The big marble in the 3rd photo, row 5 # 4 that looks like a helmet looks like an old Japanese marble. They were described and shown at length in an old thread on this website. How are my guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeHelmets Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Is pix 3, Row 5, #1 a rebel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 The last pic, Row 6 #4 ... need more pix of that. That _might_ be something rare, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 The Akro Popeyes would be good for your child's collection. They do have some value, but probably not so much that you would feel compelled to sell them. E.g., Picture 4, Row 8, Marble #4. And possibly Marble #5 in the same row. And Picture 5, Row 8, Marble #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "rebel" one is pretty nifty. I'll have to gauge how serious he is about his collecting. Otherwise I suppose I'll put them on eBay. My eye is not very fine, I just know which ones I like Edited June 22, 2017 by Steph fixed quote :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
