Yes, Master.

That's a great Cairo collection - thanks for posting the pics!

Great hybrid Vitro cat's eye. I'd like to see more of the yellow one in the second row.

The most recently posted ones do look JABO to me.

Lots of JABOs have the "U" pattern but WVS and others can show it too.

I don't think you'll find much AV on JABO Classics.

Most, maybe not all, look JABO to me too.

Pretty sure the most recently shown is a PPP.

Looks more Akro now that I see that base glass.

The one on the far right may be Peltier.

Peltier made some Peerless Patches that are similar - the patches are usually more varied in shape than similar Akros.

Some or most may be Peltier.

#4 looks newer to me - I'd need more views.

I agree.

William has it - mostly Moss Agates.

Yes, JABO - I think it is Burmese glass from Fenton. As a general rule, if I see a vintage machine made marble with pink on it, I try to snag it. It's just not that common of a color on the old ones.

Well that's sure a good way to start it out - nice Akro!

Nice advertisements - not only do they look cool framed, they're a great source of information for naming, dating, etc. You may look a long while to find Alley-specific advertising. I don't think I have ever seen a package with Alley Agate printed on it. As far as I know, Alleys were only packaged by jobbers (Pressman was a big one) and you can find them in packaging with a variety of different names and labels - Marble King, Sure Shot, Big Shot, Allies (the small 3 marble boxes), etc.

Happy New Year everyone!

That's a sweet Berry Pink, Rick! The big swirl is nice too. Do you know who made it?

or maybe Vacor?

It looks CAC to me.

Pretty sure this is it . . . click the bold topic name next to Ron's "W" to go there.

More like an oddity than weird but here's a bag with a Champion label stapled over a Penny King label . . . Of course, I had to peek to find out. 🙂

Back in the day, Big John Ives had whole tables with such back lighting to display his Cairo marbles.
