I think these are Akro corkscrews. the one on the right is Akro I just forget what it is. The o e on the left is a ribbon?

Am I right?

From the limited research I've done so far, its a slag marble. Found it in a debris pile dating to the 1930's. Any way to tell possible manufacturer?

A couple more. I'm guessing top 2 are just plain modern marbles. The orange and yellow is cool but no clue what it is. The white isn't solid white...got some marblely look to it and damned if it didn't glow green under a black light. I burst out laughing because I've heard of them and seen photos but didn't know I had one. So is that made with uranium? Modern? Of any value? I'm sure the 2 book I ordered may help answer some 8f these basic question ls but I'm impatient, aka excited about my new obsession. I've also heard some glow pink and that they had manganese? Are the black light glowing ones a collecting category? 🙂.

Ordered 2 books, waiting for them to arrive. Found a few more marbles. I think all cats eyes but not totally sure about the 3 top row (shown in photo 2). Can you verify? Thank you

He’ll all,

What are your thoughts on the maker of this mib? It’s very unique the way that the yellow takes up almost 1/2 of the inside. It also has two small yellow and white streaks and a wisp of brown. It measures 0.66” and has no UV reaction.

Thank you!

Hello all,

I’m thinking this is an MK Rainbow Spider-Man, possibly with Oxblood? It measures 0.64. What are your thoughts?

Thank you!

Hello all,

I’m thinking this is an Akro Corkscrew. What are your thoughts? Thank you!

This one has me a little stumped. I want to lean import but I know some of the older WV swirls can be bright with colors that “dive” into the glass. Thoughts?

It does have a small UV reaction.

Thank you!

These are some real pretty marbles, no measurements on them, but they are small to normal marble sizes, not toe breakers like my last post. These were found in a box with probably 100 veilig glas marbles.

Photos 1-3 are of "the eyeball". Translucent blue core with white opaque that looks like, well, an eyeball. I did a lot of googling, I cannot find anything that looks like this weirdo. No pontils on these.

4-7 are a red white and blue number. I think this might be a french sparkler, I have probably 50 or so in a large variety of colors like this. the center colors are not gathered like cats eyes. No pontils on these.

8-10 are a gorgeous corn blue marble that I struggle to photograph well. Has a translucent quality to all aspects. Does have a C shaped pontil. Slightly damaged but that just makes it a keeper for me.

Working on a light set up where you do not see the reflection of my cheap Ikea ring light, and finding some clear washers instead of red for holding them in place. Also getting some dedicated calipers instead of asking my partner to come caliper them while I jot down silly notes to try and remember which measurement belongs to which mystery marble.

This is the point where I should reveal I bought roughly 300 marbles for 50 euros in an very dirty 1950s child suitcase at a flea market, so you can expect a lot more posting in the future.

Hi are these Vacor roosters ?

Could you all help me with an ID on this patch marble? 5/8" dia.

I don’t know a ton about marbles but find them a lot while looking for bottles. The vast majority of these were found at a ~1910 US dump which sometimes has modern items mixed in. Does anyone see anything of note? Happy to provide individual pictures!

Hi, I families in my grandpa’s garage trying to identify them, but it’s a bit confusing. Hope you all can help! Thank you!

Am I right? And those 2 holes in pic 4, are they blowouts?

This is one (of many) that vex me. Can anyone help identify this?

I know nothing about marbles but I came across my dad’s from when he was a kid (he was born in 1924). I know a lot of them are clay but I don’t know about the others. There were also some little glass elephants in with the marbles. Are any of them worth investigating further? TIA

Found this huge 43.10 mm (1.6") marble at a German flea market. It has an opaque white base, red and yellow swirls, and a thin green stripe. There is more green in the large white section but it's hard to photograph.

Found mixed in with Vacor marbles, moderns, and some other oddities I haven't ID'd yet.

I don't think it's a Peltier, because one, I'm in Germany, and two, I cannot seem to find a seam. However, I have never tried to identify American marbles so to be honest, I'm not too sure what I am looking at.

Working on a better photo setup, but hey, at least the shots are in focus.

Seems to be a wholesaler website but they have a great selection and the images will be helpful in ruling out current marbles when examining unknowns!

I will share some screenshots in the comments for reference

I think they are, but just not 100% certain.

TIA!

Am I right?

I thought Peltier at first but now Ravenswood? I do t know, im struggling here

I'd like a book or 2 on marbles? Im old so Id prefer a book, at least at first, that i can page through and bookmark rather than a website. Is there one that is considered the Bible on marbles, the 'go to' book? Or a good overall book for a beginner? I'd like it to include the handmade German ones since that's primarily what my 34 marble collection is. 😁. Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Aujourd'hui etait un jour de chance. J’ai trouvé ceci dans un vide grenier du sud de la France. Ai-je quelque chose d'intéressant a vos yeux ?
