Bax Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 I ran across a small collection of marbles at an antique shop. I’m far from an expert, but from what little research I have done I do believe I may have a couple treasures in the chest.. If any of the marbles in the photos are worth a closer look, I’ll be glad to send some individual close ups. There are lots that are reactive to UV lighting and have variety of UV colors.

akroorka Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hello Bax and welcome to The Marble Connection The one that I circled may be worth another look. It looks like you have a mix of newer along with a few vintage. Nothing is real eye splitting that I see. The little brown clay one is a "Bennington". Once again, welcome and Marble--On!!

chicagocyclist Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Going quickly over them I see Jabos for sure. An always-present [corrected] Vitro All Red. The light green spiral in the lower left hand corner of the last photo looks interesting I'm trying to remember what it reminds me of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bax Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 If you don’t mind I’ll to send out a few more photos. For some reason think they have a rare quality, But possibly I am convincing myself of nothing. A few of theme are errors and should have never made it out of the glass plant. Thanks for your time.

Chad G. Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 "Hello William, Welcome to Marble Connection" May years of combined marble & marble related knowledge here w/ a great bunch of folks more than willing to help you on your marble journey. If you have an individual query there is a search bar in the upper right hand side. Also an extensive bunch of pictures and archival material in Stephs Study hall & the marble related documents sections. Good to have you on board. Seeing lots of Jabo a few Vitro, some Peltier Rainbos, a slag, one brown bennington, Vacor, no Akro or Christensen that I can see ?? A pretty good assortment though. Some individual pix or just whittle down the groups to 4 or 5 for a better shot at a positive I.D. Multiple pix of each marble are good, showing any seams and or all 4 angles of the marble. Size can be a determining factor in I.D.'s also. BTW your pix are good, nice and clear Chad G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Vitro has the all red theme he wanted red in all his marbles ... I don't think there is an Akro all red type 🤔 . Correct me if I'm wrong .

Be safe on the highway...what ya listening to... I am so sorry. We were listening to The Boys Are Back In Town but it was at high volume. We are in a construction zone, cars going left, right and all over the place. My friend who was driving was going an unbelievable, frightening speed and didn't care, slamming on the brakes as needed. I was trying to distract myself by looking at marbles and couldn't remember Vitro from Akro. We made it through I asked him to drive slower, turn the music down and I took a little nap. So am home, safe, and corrected my momentary slip of mind! Yiikes!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
