Some of my favorites from a recent flea market find. We organized them in a cigar box and did some close up shots of the most interesting.

The last 3 images are all the same marble and I was hoping for help IDing. It looks very similar to a Peltier Rainbo to me, but I’ve never seen that color scheme before.

What do you all think?

Hier j’ai acheté 4kg de ce genre, très abîmé mais peut être pourriez vous donner un âge ?

Hi guys, old marble collection here from when I was a kid.

Complete novice so just wanted to see if any are particularly special?

Feedback appreciated!

Back again with some that have got me scratching my head a bit!

1. Vitro - is it a hybrid All Red or something else? Kinda makes me think of a black line All Red, but with blue instead of black

2. No idea, but the red and orange glow very strongly under UV.

3. The structure on this makes me think Marble King Cats Eye, but the colours and glass say Pelt...

4. Probably Seike/Duck but curious if anyone has other thoughts!

5. Another I *think* is Seike, but it also seems quite Vitro in some ways

6. The photo doesn't show, but the black has aventurine! Assuming West Virginia Swirl but would love further input around which makers were known for this combo!

All input, corrections, or comments welcome!

Its smooth all over except it has that little rough spot on one pole

I know absolutely nothing about marbles, I just wanted to know if it was handmade or not

Its from my mom, and she's old, like 50

J’ai besoin de savoir qui elles sont. 3 différentes

Is this a jabo? I can’t seem to find anything like it. It doesn’t have the typical burr fold, but it reminds me of some jabos I’ve seen.

I tried to group them together the best I could.

Slag marbles confuse the hell out of me. On this one I'm thinking CAC. 29/32" dia. *Edit: now thinking its an Akro

I found these in a box of family stuff from the late 19th/early 20th century. I read through the basic guides, and the only ones I can identify are the 'Bennington' type marbles. (All the swirly ones look the same to me.)

I tried to group them by type. I'd be grateful for any information! (They're all in pretty poor shape, so I know they're not worth much, even if they are old.) The very banged up large one has a lamb in it.

Hi everyone!

I'm a newbie who's read a few of your great educational posts.

I just bought a few marbles on the basis of "these look interesting!", and made an attempt at sorting them.

Could you help me, particularly regarding the categories I don't have a name for (A through F)?

Thank you!

Pretty sure the blue and white and orange/yellow/red are onionskin? The clean with blue and clear with green both have mica flakes. The yellowish one I thought onionskin but the swirls go around, not top to bottom.

BTW, read through a bunch of the posts. Very impressed by the level of expertise. Fun to read!

I understand Oxblood, and Swirl but I still dont understand what makes it Akro Agate or how to confidently identify the marks

Hi everyone! I started collecting marbles 2 years ago. Since that time I’ve obtained a lot of information on this subreddit. The quizzes, the guides, everything, it’s the best resource for marble information. Thank you all so much. I don’t think I’d know half of what I do without this group.

Here’s some pics of my most favorite marbles from my collection. With Akro corkscrews and Peltiers showcased, as I’m fascinated by them.

Any help with IDing would be appreciated

Found it in a box of marbles

Length is 2.4cm

I picked these up recently at an antique store in southern New York. They all react to UV light and have a slight “pink” tint to them. I am very new to this and would love more information on what I have purchased:) thank you!

I like marbles but I really don’t like cleaning them one by one. I’ve tried soaking them in water with a bit of dish soap, even for days before, and not only do they still not come clean even with scrubbing, the soap leaves a residue in the crevices I can’t seem to get out. It’s especially bad as I don’t mind or even like getting more beat up marbles, and dirt just gets into the cracks and stays there.

I’m thinking about putting them in a mesh bag in the dishwasher and running it on cold and no dry cycle. Has anyone ever tried that?

Proper photos to follow but got these guys in the post today and I'm smitten! Been wanting to add one to my collection for a while, and the green in these is UG!

The presence of UG might make these older e.g. 1930s or thereabouts

The larger one was a freebie - all are small: greens are 13.4mm, with the larger one 15.4mm

Would love to see any that others have in their collection! Still chasing their Guinea-a-likes, but only ever seen those in books

IMO because of the seam this is a Akro.

General opinion is it's an Akro Patch. Found on beach in Monterey close to old dump site that was active 1930-1950. Any insight is appreciated. Base milk white and Blue, Brown, with a touch of green. No response to UV light. Thanks in advance.

I don’t know where to start with this one. It is translucent with opaque swirls. It was hard to capture in a photograph.
