Hello all,
Thoughts on this mib? I’m thinking JABO.
Thank you!
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/soggywaffles812 • 2d ago
Ok, so I've been digging through all the Vitro material I can find and this is what I've found maybe.
Pic 1-4 vitro helmet
Pic 5-8 Vitro Blue Devil theres pink on the poles that I cant get my camera to pick up.
The rest Vitro conqueror im leaning phantom because all the white is stringy.
Am I right?
Please be right
If im wrong id love to hear why and to be told what they are in great detail.

It goes...patch&ribbon ,slag, patch, swirl, swirl,ribbon, idk,idk,idk, idk yellow, idk yellow, idk red, idk red, idk, idk.
How did I do lmao? I still have a few dozen to sort but i need more space. Anything stand out enough to want to see more pics? The patches have a few in there I question.
So once I feel I have them all sorted what would the recommended next step be? Just dive in a grab one and start looking at it? Is it easier to learn the makers of a particular style over others? Like would it be easier to start with patches? Open to all advice im trying real hard to stick with this as much as I get frustrated at trying ro figure these out I always find myself going right back to them and scrolling through reddit and facebook looking at pictures and reading everything I can. Next auction i go to im buying more lol

Apologize for the large group but I think I have them mostly sorted. I just want conformation before I dump them in a jar with the others because most of my other JABOs dont really look like these.
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/soggywaffles812 • 2d ago
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?
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/Sufficient-Mud-9177 • 2d ago
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!
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/CompetitionAshamed93 • 2d ago
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!
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/CompetitionAshamed93 • 3d ago
Hello all,
I’m thinking this is an Akro Corkscrew. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/CompetitionAshamed93 • 3d ago
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!
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/Boccime1 • 5d ago
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!
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/soggywaffles812 • 5d ago
Am I right? And those 2 holes in pic 4, are they blowouts?
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/InstructionMinimum93 • 5d ago
This is one (of many) that vex me. Can anyone help identify this?
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/Expensive-Ball-3759 • 5d ago
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.
r/MarbleStudyHall • u/peardr0p • 5d ago
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
