I'm convinced it's a JABO.
-
I would say it's a Vitro with a big fold in it - the big ones can get pretty weird.
-
I think JABO is a reasonable take on it.
-
The pics are much more in focus but a straight on shot of the are in question would be helpful. At the moment something doesn't look quite right to me for Akro.
-
They did make peewee corks but they are very uncommon. I would want to see better pics, for some reason these are very grainy, and I am not sure what's up with this . . . Makes me think it might be a lookalike.
-
I should have looked at all the pics . . . it does look like a Rainbo.
-
All I can think of is early Vacor T-Rex?
-
Oddball Vitro All Red.
-
One of my favorite bags of Champions - nice to have a positive ID for those metallics.
-
Sure looks like it from that view!
-
Nice Rainbo but not a Red Angel - wrong base.
-
Multicolor Rainbo - bottom row, second from the right in your fist pic. Also, second from the left in the bottom row, and far right top row. Also looks like a MK 3rd from the right, bottom row.
-
Oddball Vitro, IMO.
-
I agree, the Vitro is just an odd Tiger Eye.
-
Aquamilk on the left, IMO - not enough brown for an Aquamarine.
-
I agree with, Art.
-
Both All Reds - the one on the right is a Black Line All Red, which are older than the All Reds without black equatorial ribbons.
-
These are Multicolor Rainbos as opposed to Multicolor Swirls, which have a swirly pattern. Miller Swirls are National Line Rainbos (NLRs) and are a whole different beast. You can find many of the Peltier NLRs with a Miller Swirl pattern

The top ones look more like Heatons to me. If there was more/better yellow on the bottom left one you'd have an Alley Superman (from St. Mary's), it might pass for a weak one now. The lower right may be Alley too but since there is not a lot of contrast in the colors the reflections are making it tough to evaluate.
-
The St. Mary's location was Alley's 4th and operated from about 1937-49. And you are correct that they produced more marbles with aventurine there than at any other site, which is not to say that there was never any AV on earlier ones.
-
Lot's of study - it is usually based on colors and style. If you are interested in Sistersville Alleys, below is a pretty good place to start studying . . .
-
Here is a description from Alan Basinet's ID site: Sunsets are those that have a transparent bubble-filled clear base with red, orange, or yellow and white ribbons.
-
This is true, they are random swirls and there is lot's of variation around the mean. Some are excellent examples of the type, some are average and others are poor examples. And that is usually reflected in their collectible and monetary value.
