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.

Wacky Akro?

Kinda CAC-ish . . . cool marble.

Nice mib! Sort of a Blue Egg Yolk Popeye?

Nice Carnelians Rick!

Dave, I think it should be CArnelian and not COrnelian

And a patch . . .

A couple of more hand-gathered pseudo-bricks. . .

That's a great group of Royals! I think Mulberry is right. Beautiful color!

And a couple of swirls . . .

Another Snotty . . .

Happy Birthday, @Al Oregon. Thanks for all your help around here. I hope you have a great day!

Jumpin' Jimminy, Ron! Every one's a killer!
