Another oldie but a goodie: from Sistersville
-
No kidding! Can I go through it?
-
And you gotta love their batch-glass white too!
-
Nice example. Alley did some great AV too - second only to Peltier IMO.
-
The last site of Alley production was in St. Mary's WV. I think they operated there for about 10 years prior to closing in the late 1940s. Sistersville was Alleys second site. It operated for about 2 years in the early 1930s.

It's always nice when you can find multiple sizes of the same pattern too:
-
One of my favorites 15/16"
-
There are all kinds of great threads in the archives . . . Here are some newer Alleys from St. Mary's:
-
Nice marbles, I'm pretty sure the right one is Alley and the left may be too, but I'm getting a bit of a Champion vibe from that one.
-
Alleys are great marbles. And since I see a couple of Sistersville marbles in your group, I'll start by referring folks to a post I made a few years ago:
-
Cool - which planet is that?
-
A bit of an oddball, sort of looks like a double ingot, not a strong Pelt vibe though, more like Alley.
-
From this view it looks like it has some clear in it?
-
It might be, but from this one view, I wouldn't count on it. As an aside, I don't think Pelt collectors today would call that color combination a John Deere.
-
Indian Blanket colors - a little odd looking though.
-
Well, if you think it's a marble - yes. If you think it's a hand-made - no. 😉 I assume you're talking about the green base - kinda hard to tell what it is from the single view, what are you thinking? The other marbles look unremarkable to me.
-
You should check the greens for AV - otherwise, it might slip by.
-
Nice ones, the black-faces are a bit harder to find.
-
And he is not wrong. Transitionals are hand-gathered, cut off, and rounded on a machine, and while the "nine" on this marble is weak, it's definitely there - that's a budding marble collector, for sure!
-
Rick, It looks like you have 126 posts.
-
Couple of fractures here, I think.
-
I plan to pare my collection down to a top 2,000 or so before I move in a couple of years.
-
I'd guess Akro on the blue one, not sure about the other.
-
I don't think it's Ravenswood.
-
Yup, Popeyes have clear transparent, wispy white, and usually two colors - like the first one.
