You got it, Chad - a very nice Alley.

They're great marbles, Rick - I'd love to see a red-based one with yellow ribbons!

Alleys with a transparent red base aren't easy to find . . .

That is a nice marble, it's not easy to find nice "black" striping on a white base. Alley Supermen and a couple of Alley Super Ghosts (yeah, I made that up). lol

The "Silver Surfer" image too, I suppose.

This is very good advice. I always backlight marbles too. You never know what you might learn. I like the Alleys with fine AV "tracers" and that one's a dandy in my book.

I've been told that "silver" sounds better than gray. Either way they aren't too common.

A Champion and a Ravenswood . . .

Ravenswoods . . .

I do like an Alley with lots of transparency . . . This one is right at 1".

Wow, that's a nice collection, Joep!

Hah, I had forgotten all about that stuff - no kids around here . . .

Those are great finds!

Peanut Butter & Jelly?

Vitro is really all I see - really cool Superior variants is my best guess. I'd put them in my collection, for sure. Hint, Hint.

I'm thinking Champion.

I have seen some similar-looking Alleys but I too am thinking Pelt slag on this one.

Those are interesting mibs - great base color. I'm leaning Vitro but they're pretty unusual so . . .

Some variants . . .

A nice Zebra, Tommy, especially at that size, but I don't think it's a bronze one.

I definitely see the Playboy Bunny, beyond that, my guess would be West Virginia Swirl, first, and Heaton, second.

Nice shirt!

. . . a few creased pontil transitionals - Japanese, I think.

I don't remember seeing this one before, Bill. It's a dandy!

Kokomo originally purchased their machines from Peltier so I think all of their early marbles were made on a "Peltier machine", and you know some of Kokomo patterns are about as similar to Peltier patterns as you can get. My understanding is that Peltier also taught Kokomo how to use the machines so my guess is that the tank and glass-feeding set-ups were also quite similar.
