#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.

I think Peltier too.

I just posted a sextuple ingot Pelt in the weird thread . . .

I don't think the number of "ingots" correlates with a particular manufacturer.

It's about the right size for a double ingot of 2 x 5/8" marbles, and it looks like it could be too.

Good looking Rainbo.

These are a newer style Vitro All Red, from the 1960s, if I recall correctly.

Here's another weird one - a Peltier sextuple ingot Rainbo. It's 1 1/8" and near perfectly round without that little nub you can see in pic 2. I gave it to Bill years ago - he really likes the weird stuff too.

I'll bet William is thinking of a "Fire Opal", better known as a Flintie, although I don't think this is one.

Very cool bag, Al - new to me, and definitely weird.

Yup, Akro Moss Agate.

Vitro - a Tri Lite as far as I can tell.

Not all Alleys are super busy or even busy at all, I am looking mostly at the color and some pattern traits - the way the orange goes pinkish in some spots, e.g.
