Man, Chad - that's a sweet marble, sorta hard to believe they used them to fill a French drain. It seems to me a lot of kids would have been very happy to have it!

A few more simple swirls . . . the middle on is in pretty rough shape though.

You are welcome, Dave. Do you see how the striping looks 'striated' (like someone dragged a fork through it) where it interacts with the base glass on the inside of the marble? And how the end of the stripe in the first pic looks 'jagged' (or sort of of flamey)? Those are CAC traits that you really don't see too often on similar Alleys.

These are tough, but it looks more Ravenswood than Alley to me.

A weird Peltier Multicolor?

Not CAC, it's hand-made with a sigle (melted?) pontil - maybe Navarre?

The structure does look more like a Peerless patch than Akro, at least to me.

I'm telling ya' - that's some crazy marble right there - a Vitro Alley hybrid? lol I've never seen anything quite like it!

I have never heard of a Peltier Halloween.

Cerise are the only others I can think of.

Decorated Glazed China marbles . . .

I I see only white, yellow and orange.

It's a nice one, Chad! Thanks for the info too!

I think you are pretty safe saying CAC for this one, Dave.

Few more Agates . . .

Nice one, Chad - kind of "modern" (or is it "English") colors?

A pretty common type of Striped Opaque . . .

Dug Alley . . .

Handmade two-pontil ballot balls . . . or game marbles, perhaps - nothing too exciting. lol

Just a few hand-faceted agates . . .

Well, that's a pretty little thing!

Another beautiful board to start the day. Thanks for showing it. The black, yellow and white ones do stand out in the group, and it's interesting that nearly all share some black color. It's a beautiful group of marbles!

Sorry Joe, thanks for your patience. Your OP sorta got lost in the shuffle. But you've been around long enough to know these things happen occasionally- marble collectors, you gotta love 'em. 🙂 Anywho, I am leaning slightly toward Akro on your marble, mainly because of the pumpkin colored patch. It would be nice to see what the interior looks like, though. Can you get any light through it?

It's still a great find, Tommy. I think the only one I've ever had in hand was Bill's and he probably made me turn my pockets inside out before he let me touch it.

I am not sure what the term "chocolate oxblood" describes other than Akro marbles like Bill's. But I'd be happy to learn more about it.
