Steph Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi, Terry. Welcome. You have a wide assortment. The bottom is mostly common clays but on the right side there are a couple of benningtons and a couple which might be jaspers. (Would be good to have another look at them.) This third group could be from the 1800's through early 1900's. The middle group is mostly handmade German marbles from the 1850's to early 1900's. There are also some Japanese cat's eyes from the 1950's. And one or more machine-made swirls. Possibly a couple other types. Top picture is an assortment of vintage machine-mades. I see some Peltiers, some Akros. Possibly a foreign marble which resembles Peltiers. Maybe some West Virginia swirls. Maybe a slag. A cat's eye -- maybe Japanese, maybe Vitro. Start a new thread with just a few marbles. And a separate thread with a few other marbles. And so on. A big group photo gives us a good feel for what you have -- and you have some nice marbles. For specific IDs, it's best to only have a few marbles per thread. Cuts down the opportunities for confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tel marbles Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks so much! This has been very helpful. I have attached another picture of one marble should I do something like this in a separate thread? Thanks again so much for your knowledge!

Steph Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Yes, go ahead and start a new thread for your next close-up ... but I can tell you that this one is an Akro Tri-Color Agate, from the 1930's or 1940's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Condition is number one with marbles. The picture of the handmades has a white base and pink Clambroth bottom left. About 6 micas. Maybe some Solid Cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
