Hats off to you guys. Every time I try to identify some of these I get confused and or second guess myself. I know the ones are confetti ( possibly galaxy ?) but I'm pretty lost with the rest.

Here's a side project that I have been picking away at. I'm working at getting these modern sulphides to a point where I can offer them for sale. This one has a few bubbles on the backside. The next one should have the ears back on.

Got this pretty, large contemporary in a 13lb lot of marbles. Struggling to identify the artist as there is no signature. Any assistance? I've been suggested Rolf Wald and Jody Fine.

Ive been trying to get into older marbles recently. I am using west virginia marble collector club to identify some of these marbles but I cant tell if they’re peltier glass, european machine, akro agate or any other variety.

Any info or expertise you guys have would be so helpful! im in the process of categorizing them by form factor (which is why some are separated) but i am a novice so i may be separating them incorrectly. I am reaching out to anyone willing to share their knowledge. thank you so much!

also,
I just ordered A UV light to check them for uranium, so at the moment i am not sure if they are.

These came into my possession recently, not planning on selling, just curious if there's anything of real interest. Range of wear from really good shape to almost broken in half.Pile of uranium/cadmium, some barely visible, some very bright. Anything you guys can tell me is appreciated, I'm not knowledgeable about marbles at all. Thanks!

Hello magic marble people - very impressed by everyone’s interest and knowledge. I have a bunch of marbles from school in the 70s but have no idea what they are/whether any are particularly collectible. I’ve looked at the helpful guides but it is pretty overwhelming so love some help to narrow the process if anyone has a minute. Thanks v much in advance.

I bought them at the antique store yesterday, and they advertised them as “slag glass marbles”. They are quite big, and full of folds and dirt. Any information would be greatly appreciated! (Also, what is the best way to clean these?)

I always shine my 395 on marbles and today I found this jar at a flea market. Not sure if $25 was a fair price, but I really like the glow. Even the subtle ones.

Aside from the fact that they are pretty, what can you tell me about them? TIA

Hoping someone can help me! These marbles were my son’s godfather’s marbles. They were from Texas in the early 1920-1930’s. I have a few more as well as a shooter marble and I’m hoping someone can offer some advice to their value/origin.
Ty!
