I'm not a collector but I run across many things and marbles are one of them. I was taking a look at some of the ones I have a picked out a few to look at. Mainly because many of them glow under a black light. See anything good in here? Last photo taken in complete dark with a small 6" uv light.

Hello Diggumup!

There are several older ones that are staples in every collection. The first pic shows all Vitros except possibly that one clear one. They look to be from the 50s and up.

The second pic may show a valuable marble, I can't tell from the one picture. Can you take pictures of the two red and yellow ones in the center? Show multiple views (all sides). I'm thinking the left one has a chance of being a peltier red angel ($100 or more if in mint+ condition). I think the rest are more common Vitros, Marble Kings, Imperials, etc... from the 50s to the 90s or so.

Wow, I missed those Cheese! Eagle Eye as usual. I'm thinking perhaps nice Peltier Ketchup and Mustards...but don't know enough on the Red Angels. And maybe a pic of the other one in the same row to the left?

Thanks for sharing your marbles Diggumup. By the way, for not being a marble collector you sure separated the groups out well!

Thank you. I just grouped them by color and general patterns. Here is the one you asked for...

Here is a funky looking one that looks like an eyeball...

Actually drizzlermibs, I took close ups of the wrong one. I'll have to find it again.

Oh, the base looked like it could be tan in the pics but I see now it is transparent in the one I thought could be an angel. It's not, unfortunately. The second one though, that is a neat marble and probably would fetch a few bucks. I don't know who made it, it's different. I want to say it's a Champion Furnace, but it's not quite right for that. Maybe. It's a cool marble, thanks for sharing!
