IeatSOUND Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I think I'm gonna go with multiple topics with several mibs in each one. Seems like the best compromise. Better than flooding the forum with one marble posts or making just one exhaustingly (that's a word, right? My phone doesn't think it is. Oh well, it should be one if it isn't. Heh. ) long post.

Steph Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 This has close to the pattern of a Vitro All Red. However it could be a Marble King. That's assuming it's vintage. Probably put it with your Vitro All Reds for the time being. I think most people would do it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I would have made an automatic Alley Agate ID on this one until recently. Now I think I've seen some similar ones ID-ed as Heaton. But I'd still roll it in with my Alleys for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Another "maybe Vitro All Red but seeing Marble King possibilities" marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 You have some odd ones. At first look it could be Master, but having a pair of similar looking ribbons is more like Peltier. And then the glass has a bit of a foreign look to it. I'm leaning non-American right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Another "maybe Vitro or maybe Marble King". This one doesn't have red, so if it turns out to be Vitro it would perhaps be a Tiger Eye rather than an All Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 If vintage then "West Virginia Swirl". But could be a modern marble such as Jabo. ("West Virginia Swirl" is a catch-all ID. There were many companies in West Virginia making swirls in the 30's through 50's and a couple still making swirls after that. Alley and Heaton that I mentioned above were two of the West Virginia companies. Another one was Champion. This has some Champion aspects to it. But it can be really hard to sort the marbles by company and that's why we sometimes just say "WV swirl.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I don't know any of your marbles! My top two thoughts on this one are Marble King again or Akro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 #1 Vitro All Red. On of the two most common marbles Vitro produced from late 1930's until 1986. #2 Alley common two color swirl made at St.Marys WV from about 1938 to 1948. #3 Weak Vitro All red #4 Foreign to the US. Glass looks rough #5 Akro #6 Marble King #7 Champion swirl 1980's All at less than $1.00 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IeatSOUND Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Right on. Thanks for the help! Pretty much confirmed what I was thinking already... Except for the last one. I had no clue about that one. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
