NewGuy287 Posted Tuesday at 09:48 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:48 AM Hi All, I'm a long time collector, but only recently find interest in learning more about what I've got in my stash. I came across a nice bunch at auction in the UK. Hoping for some help identifying/verifying my find. Any advice or assistance is much appreciated. I have many more than pictured, sorry for quality of photos. NewGuy287 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted Tuesday at 12:26 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:26 PM "Welcome to Marbled Connection" First bunch looks a load of clearies, last bunch look like all Veiligglas wire pulls except maybe the (R) side white and 3 green towards the top of the pic. Others will come by w a more precise I.D. for you. Again, others will be by to elaborate more. "Welcome" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad is right on--the middle images show a mixture of USA and Asian swirls. You may even have a Ravenswood in the mix--pretty cool. Break them up into groups of three or four and send some more images for ID. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:24 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:24 AM I've separated them into colors for a better look. I will post a few at a time—there are many to get through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:32 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:32 AM The black glass glows root beer color when lit, except two that appear cobalt color with thin swirls. I don't expect that these are special, but they are not what I typically find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:34 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:34 AM This set is half clear and half color. Three different sides are pictured here. Again, I do not expect that these are special, but unique to my finds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:37 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:37 AM Blue with orange and blue with yellow and green. Is it a chip or from when the marble was made? How can you tell a chip from an original blemish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:41 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:41 AM The Blue and Red (or is it oxblood) are some of my favorites. Top center is only blue, with both poles having defined partitions. The middle marble has a lovely swirl in the second picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:44 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:44 AM This black beauty is not much to look at, but rare for me to find. Light does not shine through. Its also been used a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:47 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:47 AM Of the many green marbles, in my stock, these are the only two solid with red swirl. They are very attractive, but maybe not of any value other than to enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy287 Posted Thursday at 09:49 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:49 AM My camera had a really difficult time focusing on the clear marbles. I'm curious if the thin swirls are of any interest or help identifying them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
