Recently I got into a bowl of collected marbles. Please help identify this marble.

Antique German Handmade, (translucent) or Semi opaque "Banded Lutz"   VHTF. The  clear transparent Banded Lutz aren't that hard to come by but the semi opaque type are "Nice mib"

Value?

I see a lot of pitting, fleabites & even some visible chipping & missing glass in the magnified view of your last pic giving it what I consider a near mint grade @ best, perspective will play a large part in the final value your marble. Here's a link to a sold marble in exceptionally high mint condition and what it sold for, wish I had some better news for ya but I'm afraid yours wouldn't bring nearly as much, marbles of this specific type this old in immaculate condition w/o any manufacture defects or wear are extremely hard to come by.

As noted - a Ribbon Lutz.  The surface wear limits collector interest and thus value.

Very nice and the clouded base is rare. Lutz always adds value. It's tough to find pristine examples from an era when playing marbles meant shooting them into each other.  For the same reason gi Joe's and tonka truck get a premium if they are pristine, because kids played with them. Like they were designed.
