Mine is a 1971 Solex made in France. It gets 65-85 miles/qt. depending on the terrain, wind, and my weight. 😄 It's a total blast to ride - one of my favorite things to do.

These days, this is what I spend most of my time riding . . . I've only owned it for about 25 years - it has never failed to start. 😄
-
Good deal, Melissa. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
-
Glad to hear it! I'll bet you saw some killer marbles too.
-
Photos are kind of out of focus so it's hard to see detail but it sorta looks like an Akro Corkscrew to me.
-
Jumpin' Jimminy man - 4:37 for a Century is flying! Was it a metric century?
-
Pretty nice finds there, Melissa! Did you have fun?
-
Nice marble, Rick. The pontil looks melted to me so I agree with Navarre.
-
I don't think the first is a JABO. It'd be nice to see a few more photos of it not buried in the hole, so you can see the marble. 🙂 The second does look like a JABO to me and the third one may be too, although it might be a Champion. The last one is a newer Marble King.

Pretty MK.
-
Thanks for looking, Al! I have a hard time finding multiple colors on any 4-vane foreign examples.
-
Thank you for the thoughts, Elizabeth! I'm going to get some more photos of these - I was just trying to show all the vanes/colors in this shot. 🙂
-
Maybe Vacors?
-
Gotta say, Rick, that was about 30 years ago. I still ride the same bike, occasionally, and I could probably still finish the course today - might take me two days though. lol
-
Great examples, Chad. Dave figured that polymer out pretty quickly and has really developed some skills!
-
Those are really nice examples of Mikey's work!

Here are some of the Alleys you mention . . . -
Looks like one of those "solid" AV marbles. And I agree with Steph, although I am pretty sure I've seen similar Imperial types too.
-
Nice Rainbo, I like that "smokey" looking glass.
-
I agree that the first is probably a DAS and that the second is Champion.
-
It might not be intentional, but I think that is some extra color and not "debris", and the marble looks like an Akro Moss Agate to me.

Alley marbles are swirls so they don't have seams. These appear to be Asian Imperial type marbles. -
@akroorka That is one of the coolest shots of it's type I have ever seen - really cool, Art!
