foxy77 Posted August 4, 2024 Report Share Posted August 4, 2024 Bought a bunch of old marbles years ago at a tag sale. Sold 99% of them because I was overwhelmed back then with trying to ID them. Kept some, this is one of them. Looks to have a weird round spot from maybe a bubble while being made im assuming. Any help would be appreciated.

Steph Posted August 4, 2024 Report Share Posted August 4, 2024 Hi. Welcome. What diameter is your marble? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy77 Posted August 4, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2024 I dont know. But I ordered a sizing thing on Amazon. It will be here sometime today. It's bigger than a peewee but smaller than a shooter. (I'm sure that doesn't help tho lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieT Posted August 4, 2024 Report Share Posted August 4, 2024 Maybe a Jackson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy77 Posted August 5, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2024 Someone on fb said vacor zebra? I've looked at pics and they seem different looking to me. It came out if a jar with all old marbles. I mean it's possible but I don't think so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 5, 2024 Report Share Posted August 5, 2024 I'm still sticking with Alley but I will call in a swirl guru. @cheese? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 5, 2024 Report Share Posted August 5, 2024 I could see why someone would think Peltier based on the colors and textures, but I'm not seeing the ribbon structure I would expect in a Pelt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted August 5, 2024 Report Share Posted August 5, 2024 Hit it with a strong light from behind and see what color the black really is. Jackson is a contender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, ty!! I'll check it when I get home. Do you think the light on my cam is a strong enough light to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson is a contender. Hi Cheese.. gotta say, I REALLY appreciate your help with this one. This marble has had me wondering for years! Anyhoozer.. I used my phones flash and my nephews phone for the pics. Not the greatest of pics let me tell ya lol and there was only a few spots I could get the light to shine thru. I saw red & a brownish redish purple. weird? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted August 6, 2024 Report Share Posted August 6, 2024 That's the color I was expecting to see. Here is one I chose to take pics of backlit with a VERY strong light. I picked this one because the base glass was lighter than most of this type, so the backlighting would show better. The darker ones go to a burgundy red like yours shows. So, other companies made very close to this as well, but when you factor in the ribbon pattern, I think yours is Jackson. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy77 Posted August 6, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2024 Wow.. im so happy lol i just liked how it looked when i kept it lol makes me wonder if more of those swirls I let go over 12yrs ago we're more Jackson's. Letting all those marbles go I think will be a regret I'll have forever lol I am completely astounded with how much knowledge Cheese & Charlie has. It's mind boggling. Thank you ALL very much for the help. I could hugs yas! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
