ID help on clear glass marble with red tongue

I lucked into a bunch of free marbles at a yard sale today - about 200 I would guess.

This marble is large - what I believe is call a shooter.

Anyone know if this is new production or vintage? The lot of marbles looked mixed to me, new and old.

Any idea who made this one?

Thanks.

Songs that open with a super - catchy guitar riff

Rebel Rebel is the first song that comes to mind. Possibly the king of guitar riff openers.

Ticket to Ride and Gimme Shelter also come to mind.

What other songs have killer guitar opening riffs?

Flea market find - ID help

I picked this up at a flea market this morning thinking it was an Art Deco beaded necklace. My wife thinks it might be an old rosary.

I think the black breads with dual stripes are glass, and the white beads I think are bone.

There's no clasp, but at the center of the 10 black beads there's a jump ring. So there was originally something dangling from that jump ring.

Can anyone ID?

Thanks.

Pair of vintage 1960s folk art lamps

Just wanted to share these lamps I bought at a garage sale maybe seven years ago. The woman having the sale told me her father made these in the early 1960s.

She charged me $2/each. They did not have shades. The shades are new -- cost me $75, but I'm thrilled with the result.

Uranium glass lamp base - value?

I found this at an estate sale this morning. $15 and came with a damaged slag glass shade. I originally tried to buy just the finial to use in a lamp I have in my kitchen. Offered them$10 for the finial but the family running the estate sale needed the house cleared out more than the money - so I had to buy the whole thing and take it with me.

I thought it might be Vaseline glass but want sure until I got it home and hit it with the uv light.

Unfortunately the top ball has a chip that you can't see in the pic. The pic is of the good side.

Also, yhe original sockets were moldy so I just now tossed them.

Is worth anything in this condition?

Antique vanity box with secret compartment in the USA

My wife and I bought this box at an estate sale outside Atlantic City around six or seven years ago. It's veneered.

It's 11" w x 8" d, and stands just under 7".

There's a secret compartment! See the last pic.

We haven't been able to open the secret compartment. Anyone know how to open it?

The key is not original, but it locks the lid. Might need the original key to open the compartment.

Pair of green orange marbles

This is a pair of green/orange marbles from that $14 bag of marbles I bought yesterday at an estate sale. I posted the whole bag contents earlier today in this subreddit.

I plan to post singles and sorted groups over the next could of days. I'll try not to spam the thread.

I'm looking for help ID' ing these, and determining value, if any. They look, to me, no like they might not be from the same maker.

Thanks.
