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.
-
That is unusual - really cool. Of course, there are some limestone deposits that are chock-full of fossils. It's almost surprising marbles like this aren't more common. But this is the first one I have seen. It kinda makes all the other limestone marbles seem lame - the best I have are dyed - big whoop! lol
-
Hmmm, it's an oddball, pretty though - crazy looking Master is all I can come up with, almost looks like it's been polished.

Welcome to the Marble Connection, Kimber! Oh come on Steph, Vitros are disgusting. Nobody should collect those . . . . but me! 😁
