I agree!

Cool mib, Dave. The interesting thing about this and similar marbles is that if you imagine the base glass is white and the white striping is another color you get some real insight into how the patterns on the surface of the opaque marbles are actually produced.

The first one looks more like a ceramic marble than the second one - the white is better.

I really don't know, Joep. It hardly even looks like glass to me - sorta looks painted or something. Either that or it's just really odd glass flow.

Nice pattern on this one! That's a good looking slag!

It reminds me of a newer handmade from Bulgaria, Joep, but maybe someone else will have another idea.

It might be a bit drab, Bruce, but being a CAC in that condition, it's not exactly common. 🙂 I like the "road" on this one - very scenic!

This 9/16" reminds me of a tea rose . . .

Happy Slag and Swirl Saturday!

I also recognize this one as a PB.

I have to ask, are you absolutely sure that all 7 of these marbles came in the same mesh bag? The reason I ask is because there is some debate about who made the big Paul Bunyan's and I am pretty certain that the little ones are Akro. The PBs are usually found in mesh or poly bags labeled as such by Ravenswood Novelty, or in mesh bags labeled "Genuine Old Fashion Marbles", where there is one PB and some smaller Ravenswood marbles. If all of your marbles were in the same mesh bag, it could suggest that the PBs were made by Akro, since I don't think Akros are found in Jobber packaging.

I really like marbles and have a hard time even giving up nice common examples. I mean you can always find pics to look at but it's just not the same as being able to fondle them. lol

I'm giving downsizing serious thought but it's sort of a traumatic prospect.

Maybe a transitional on the first, if not, I'd say Alley. The second one is very nice Alley.

Alley.

Peltier is all I see - sweet 'bo.

There are only two marbles (right and left) the bottom shows them back-lit.

Well, that would seal Alley for me.

Quite a few were dug, but not exactly common, I think.

Now that's a marble! Dang, I want it in the worst way. Beyond that, I'm tilting slightly toward Raveswood over Alley.

That's what I was thinking too - probably should have said it. lol.

They look like Akros to me. The big ones look like what you might find in a Paul Bunyan bag.

I'm thinking MK.
