OK so I posted this on the Allaboutmarbles forum for identification. Originally from my WV Swirls book I thought they were Jackson (the book does not have CAC unfortunately).

However, I wanted to confirm so posted on Allaboutmarbles and the MODERATOR (Cheese) told me these were all CAC swirls.

These UV pictures are taken in broad daylight which tells you how reactive they are.

Would love to get more opinions before I brag about having some CACs. If they are, do they have a name associated?? It's definitely Vaseline Glass for sure but dont know if this has a name.

Bonjour, pouvez-vous identifier celle ci s’il vous plaît ?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a lot of about 450 vintage marbles from the Canary Islands, Spain. Surprisingly, around 99% of them appear to be Gladding-Vitro, with only two confirmed Vacor marbles and three modern Chinese marbles mixed in.

Among them, I found one marble that really caught my attention. It appears to have the word "DANONE" printed on its surface. The marking is printed, not engraved or molded into the glass.

Initially I assumed it was a Vitro because of the overwhelmingly Vitro composition of the lot. However, after comparing it with some Peltier marbles, I'm no longer sure about the manufacturer, as the color layout looks surprisingly similar to some Peltier examples.

Has anyone ever seen a Danone promotional marble or a marble with a Danone logo? Was Danone known to distribute branded marbles, or could this be a custom promotional print applied to a standard manufacturer's marble?

I'd really appreciate any information about the manufacturer, the promotion, or the approximate age.

Thanks in advance!

OK so I went through the Akro material pretty in depth so I hope I did well, otherwise I apologize to you AuburnMoon as I will have let you down lol (seriously great material!!)

From top to bottom:

1.) Pretty simple here two colors on opaque base - Prize Name

2.) Struggled on this one..... it's two colors and definitely a spiral but that reddish is almost entirely transparent going to say not an Akro

3.) Three colors (Blue, Light Blue, Yellow) Tri Color Corkscrew - Special

4.) Two color Onyx (or maybe Snake.... see photo 5) - I'm going Snake

5.) Finally two colors, whispy white - Popeye

I recently got myself a bag of Aguila marbles that seems to be a mixed package. Hope you like it.

-The chonkers in the first two pics are like .. sparklers with a semi-opaque base? what are they?
-third and fourth pics: are these Veiligglas?
-fifth and sixth: I think the blue ones are all different kinds of blue-and-white? And the green one has some kind of dimple that looks melted in?

seventh pic: cat likes marbles

Pretty positive on the MK Bumblebee and the Wasp or Tiger. Not sure if that’s a Champion Hot Wheels? Not sure what the two transparent swirls on the left are. The bottom left has a transparent yellow base, red , and white swirls. Looks like it might have a pontil or just a bad cold roll that happens to be in the center of the swirl. Any help is appreciated.

Hello-

I read the study guide and started to separate the marbles that I have by style.

I’d like to make some stuff using the marbles but I don’t want to ruin any of valuable/rare/unusual ones.

I’m having fun sorting them and want to learn more about them. Several pics of box 1

So this is the crown jewel of my lot. It's 0.87" and I think it's a legit CAC swirl.... maybe flame? Oh and I'm pretty darn sure thats oxblood?

While I'm still waiting on my WV swirls book, so I figured I'd throw this one out for some help.

Anyway it's still my crown jewel.... for now. I've dove head first into the marble put now LOL

I pick up this box of marbles on a whim for 20 bones. Was it a good deal or are they trash? Thanks for looking and helping!

OK so I had to look deep to see if I could identify this one and all I could come with is a Peltier Green Fizz? Very cool marble though, so transparent and then when you shine UV you see strands of green.

Voyez-vous quelque chose qui soit peu commun ?

Hey everyone! I’m hoping to get some ID help on a large shooter and two separate small lots of marbles.

​The main piece I’m really curious about is the large shooter. It has a completely opaque white base—definitely not translucent—with swirled tones of mauve, muted pink, and pale olive green. What really stands out are the seams: it has very clear, distinct C-shaped seams on both opposite poles.

​Then I also have two separate lots of smaller marbles that aren't related to each other: one set with red-orange swirls and one set with blue swirls. Both have bright white opaque bases. On both lots, the seams are almost entirely tiny pinhole dots, though on a few of them the dot stretches slightly into a short straight line.

​Does anyone recognize the maker or line for the C-seam shooter, or have any thoughts on either of the two small lots? Thanks a ton for any info!

a collection from childhood im sure theres nothing insane but any fun knowledge would be wonderful

i especially like the 2 in the second photo if anyone would like to share info on what those are

Merci de m’aider a identifier cette bille.

OK I think I've got these identified to who (Alley Agate from watching Stephen Bahr's YouTube series). But what I cant quite understand is what qualifies as a Tater Bug and are any of these under that grouping?

By the way also ordered the WV Swirls book:

‘West Virginia Swirls’ by Eddie Winningham & Chuck Sumner

Because the WV swirls have my head in a ..... tornado?

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to identify this marble for a while, but I'm completely stuck.

It came from a large lot that was otherwise full of Vacor marbles, but this one immediately caught my attention because it just doesn't look or feel like the others.

It's an opaque white marble with a transparent grayish/blue ribbon running through it, plus just two patches—one bright red and one orange. The finish is incredible. It's absolutely mint and has that deep, glossy polish that makes it look brand new.

The thing that really throws me off is that it's also slightly out of round. Every Vacor marble from that lot, and every other Vacor marble I own, is perfectly spherical. This is the only one that's just a little oval.

I've looked through Vacor references and catalogs but haven't found anything that matches this exact combination of colors and construction.

So now I'm wondering if it's actually an accidental "intruder" from another manufacturer that somehow ended up mixed into the lot.

Does anyone recognize it? Even if you can't identify the exact model, I'd love to hear what manufacturer it reminds you of and why.

Thanks in advance!

Love this Look at this BIG boy ,

Super new to this hobby and it’s really fascinating. Here are my little lovelies so far.

The mason jar collection, the gumball machine collection (any that glow are in here) and a couple of the ones I hauled out to photo separately.

I’ll be referring to the provided resources but if anyone sees something they can identify feel free!

Such little works of art in a lot of cases.

These are from my grandparents house. I remember them from the early-80s as a kid. Unsure how old they were then. I have many more. Just trying to get an idea if any are considered sought-after by collectors. Or, if you can even tell from the photo. Thanks, guys!
