    I think it's likely just a European machine made with some nice interior action, since I don't see any evidence of hand-gathering.

    Without a polar patch and only the two equatorial ribbons, it has the structure of a new MK, which would mean it is not a Spiderman.

    I gotta agree. That's some pretty fancy footwear for a hotplate!

    Very cool, I have seen latticinios used in similar applications but it's far less common than using "clearies", at least in my experience.

    I have about 2 pints of marbles that are still covered in dirt and I am very proud of the discipline I have shown to leave them as they are. Please, don't tempt me! lol

    The left is JABO and I think the right one is too. Sometimes marbles can get "furrows" in them because of the way the glass cools or the way the glob moves on the rollers.

    Those mibs originally cost about 1 1/2 hours pay. You'd need a darn good job to get them anywhere near that rate today!
  8. Ric
    That is a cool little piece.

    Just clod of Pennsboro Alleys . . . in Pennsboro dirt.

    This one looks like JABO.

    It's the same pics.

    .58 Akro?

    Ron has one that has fooled many an Akro collector, and it's a killer!
  13. Ric
    That's the other possibility. If I could see the colors a little better I might agree.

    Sorta looks like this one gave it a whirl.

    Alley or Champion would be my guess, leaning slightly Alley.

    One of not too many named Classics. I think Dave himself named this one.

    1980s I think.

    My first thought is a JABO Sweet Potato Pie or variant, but I am not entirely sure.

    Not a Popeye.

    It looks a bit more like a swirl than a slag to me but beyond that I think this one will be very tough to ID with any degree of certainty.
  21. Ric
    Reflections make it pretty hard to see but I am thinking Champion.
  22. Ric
    Alleys from Pennsboro . . .
  23. Ric
    or Heaton?
  24. Ric
    The best part is that I was lucky enough to dig these up myself!

    Given that most people in 1912 were probably making 35-40 cents an hour, those were some mighty fine marbles, for sure.
