I've been using a Sony DSC-T200 for many years and I know others who like them too. They are not made anymore but you might be able to find one on EBay cheap and you can still find batteries too, at least the last time I checked.
-
Contemporaries, all about 15/16" or just under, not signed but I am thinking Jody Fine . . . I'd be interested to hear what others think, especially @Alan .
-
Blue Raven on the right. I think the left may be Alley - not a Red Raven, regardless, IMO.
-
The blue on may well be Akro too. And it looks like the only real Peewee is the first one. A true Peewee will fit through a 1/2" diameter hole - one iota over and it won't.
-
I like postcards too. I have the one old colored one with two boys shooting marbles, it's postmarked 1910.
-
I need to read more. Peewee Vitros are rare. Are these all not a hair over 1/2"?
-
Left might be Vitro. Akro for the others, IMO.
-
In all cases, I think there are two equatorial ribbons (or patches) of one color around the equator - not seeing that here.
-
Really dark and hard to see much. What does it look like back-lit?
-
Seems like it would be missing the "stem"?
-
The ones some folks call "Figure Eights"?
-
No idea - they look hollow, are they? Seem kinda big for bingo and it's interesting that there appear to be six impressions on each. Children's Alphabet toys maybe?
-
Here's a suede marble bag with a very similar design - wouldn't surprise me if it was the same manufacturer.
-
The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

@Fire1981 Looks like some nice big Alleys up top and I really like the lips on that Marble King Tricolor. -
Neat pouch - lots of them were sold in souvenir shops back in the day. I don't think it's associated with any particular marble maker.
-
Probably the number "4" and certainly "Vitro" on the left. And I think the price was usually on the right - maybe 10 cents?
-
Thanks, Ron. Are there other St. Mary's Alleys similar to the Ghosts but with different base or striping colors, or just blue & red?
-
I see the cut line now. Thanks for straightening me out!
-
Shocker! Thanks, Ron.
-
It makes me wonder how many mad Mothers or Fathers tossed a whole bag in the wood stove.
-
I thought the same thing at first but I don't think I've ever seen a similar foreign marble that's this size - have you?
-
If I remember right, I won it in 2011 at the auction which used to be held during the WVMCC Show to benefit the Club - I think Dave McCullough may have donated it to the auction. @wvrons might be able to correct me if I am wrong - his memory seems to be working better than mine lately. 😄
-
Those are cool too. I would not have thought a structural fire would get hot enough to melt and fuse them like that.
-
These appear to be foreign Cat's Eye type marbles. I believe the other is an American made Master Sunburst.
