help with some new marbles

[jx0612]

Hello Good Evening All,

 

If possible i need some help with id on some marbles that were left from my dad. I had some great help from marbles reddit with quite a few except certain ones that i thought i might know what they were i was completely wrong . I have to admit a lot of the marbles all look alike.To add some context i never knew about these and i got help with possibly dating them . Grandfather met my  grandmother in Alabama in the mid 1940s were he was born and then they eventually moved back to Brooklyn NY (marble collectors are right about how important dates and sizes are hopefully this will get easier for me I am having trouble with the colors of manufactures and designs , seams and patterns . Any help is much appreciated.

 

Note: The first picture is UV marbles. 

Also regarding UV marbles, did only certain manufacturers create UV marbles or did almost all of them create them?

I see an akro rebel, akro silver oxblood and maybe a peltier patch or two.

The clear ones, clearies, have no real collector value and some of those look like the solid color are likely gaming marbles, also with little collector value as many companies made them and you can't have determine manufacturer. As for what are reactive to UV, it depends on the glass and all manufacturers of all eras, including modern marble makers, use or used glass that's UV reactive.  There are instances where it is to create a specific color but mostly it is just the cullet - the glass that is melted to make the marbles - that is used.  In other words you can't use it to date a marble as being old or new and you cannot tell which manufacturer, it doesn't help you tell what manufacturer.  There's a lot of attention to it these days but it really doesn't tell you much.  It's just fun, although in some instances some people do think it raises the value.

As for your marbles separate those clearies and solids out and shoot fewer like three or four to a shot, get closer,  have it in focus and show at least both seams.  It's difficult to tell exactly what you have.

Thank you for the responses, everyone.  I tried getting some photos of these specific ones that I really can't seem to figure out at all.  If anyone can help with those that would be appreciated.

I attempted to get the best pictures I could for them, I hope they came out okay. 

 

Some of them are really incredible to look at and I was curious if these types of marbles (the more ornate ones) were always seen as collector's items or were they used for playing games?  Were these types of marbles ones you'd find in corner and soda shops or were they only able to be purchased in specific places?
