Oxblood?

[Carolina Tom]

Hello Cheese. I hope that you are doing well sir.

I made it out to the marble spot this morning. It’s been raining, so I had high hopes that more marbles had appeared due to erosion. I wasn’t disappointed.

I found these three, oddly enough all are red and white. All look older to me, but of course I don’t really know. I do think that the top left marble is an oxblood. Any assistance with ID and date range is most appreciated.




Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

Howdy Tom!
The first is an Alley, no oxblood. 1940s or so. The topr right one is an Akro carnelian I think, from the 30s or so. The bottom is a Vitro Conqueror. Oxblood is a different red/brown and normally when you see it in hand, you'll know you've found it. It's a darker, opaque brick color that looks like dried blood. Here are a few with oxblood:
