It looks like a hand-gathered Akro to me - nice marble.
-
Thanks, Tommy, it's a pretty old post but there's lots of great stuff in Steph's Study Hall and the Archives. I tried to show marbles that I thought were more distinctly "Sistersville Alleys". Marbles from this location are far less common than those from Pennsboro or St. Mary's since Alley only operated in Sistersville for about a year.
-
Yes, they are large and, better yet, they are "fat" - big chunky bananas. I really like a nice clear transparent glass, and I think the base glass used for the bananas is some of the best out there, crystal clear and bright, right up there with the base glass Vitro used for their Victories.

No UV or AV in mine. IMO it's the base glass along with the orange and white ribbons that distinguish the Antifreezes. They kind of look like they could be a common Rainbo but they are far from common.

Above is part of a post Charles W. made about these marbles back in 2005. According to him, it was a Peltier employee who gave them the "windshield" name.

I'm thinking Akro left and Master right.
-
This one looks like a contender to me, Tommy. Here's one I had . . .
-
The ones in the listing look like they are about 3/8", which seems kinda small to me. What size is yours?
-
Dang, Rick, that second one is really sweet!
-
Some nice opaque Veiligglas i got from a friend

Nice group, Joep! -
I don't think they were exactly "errors", perhaps just fortuitous - the best ones I've seen are quite attractive.
-
I don't think it's Heaton, Cairo, or Champion. I'm on the fence between Alley and Ravenswood - leaning slightly toward Ravenswood.
-
Veiligglas is the only bell ringing for the yellow and white one in bubbly clear. And I don't think the Vitro is a Wedding Cake. It looks more like a conqueror-style to me, perhaps leaning toward a bullseye type. It's hard to tell from the single view, more views would be helpful.
-
It looks CAC to me too, Art, and I agree, polishing really messed up the pattern. I too can't believe it looks better now than it did with a little damage.
-
Just some newer MK I had a chance to photograph (rather poorly) for reference . . .
-
I think it's a Vienna Vitro from the Conqueror era. I would call it a DuLite but I am not sure if that fits Vitro's definition or not.
-
Nice examples of Vitro Bullseyes . . .
-
Newer, I think. Vacor or JABO would be my bet.
-
I don't think it's nice enough for Alley - more like CAC. 😉
-
Oh yeah, Tommy, that's the dirty white Vitrolite and it's a Jackson.
-
This is great stuff, Jeff. Do you know if any of what I am going to call "the newer style" P&Rs were packaged and sold back in the 60s, or do you think they were errors? I don't think I have ever seen similar ones in older bags.

Picked this up at an antique store yesterday

This person was just looking for any shred of validation for their confirmation bias - I am glad they didn't find it here. -
Nice bricks, Art. I'd say you had a great week!
-
That's a very nice marble, Melissa. Some types of Pelt peewees are fairly common - not that one!
