It's intriquing . . . If it was a factory box, I would expect to see the company name & address on it, somewhere, either on the top or side of the lid, or at least "made in the USA" along with the logo stamp. It also seems a bit too fancy for a stock box and not quite fancy enough for a gift box so . . . ? Having said this, it's important to realize that I am near clueless about Akro boxes.

Water-driven stone polishing mills are machines, right?😁 a couple of close-ups. And here it is with some non-machine-made stoneware. I'm betting the stone is older. lol

Okay, last one for this week!

A good "R" is hard to find . . .

Thanks for everything, Ron. I like the prospects on that one. Some more of my favorites - black cherry striping on a peanut butter brown base - mmm mmm!

I should have said it's 9/16" too, which is another reason I am hopeful and leaning Ravenswood.

I never actually sampled them, and I stand corrected. The 5% for error seems entirely reasonable too.

These are my most treasured because I got them in trade from a dearly departed Dutch marble friend, Winnie.

Killer marble, is the base translucent/smoky? Really nice!

Brent Marshall You will not see many marbles from this glass artist. The biggest here is about 1 13/16"

You're right, AkroOrka, Alibaba is a great place to scout new marbles, especially of Chinese origin.

Man, I wish this one was mint! Black Brick

I really want this marble to be Ravenswood too but . . . might be Alley. Any ideas, anybody, @wvrons?

One of my favorite types of Ravenswood

Nice Jackson marble, Tommy! That creamy white will glow like nuts.

Cool mib, reminds me of a Blueberry Ade or one of these:

Very nice, Chad!

These are the 1" marbles that came with my Babe the Blue Ox (Paul Bunyan) Toy. A couple have a little AV in the green.

I have not seen one like it - my guess is newer. It almost looks ceramic.

👍 5/8"

The tight white mesh bag is a rarity.

Nice displays, Chad! Too many packaged for Penny King so reclaimed by Champion?

Great marbles, I have never found one of those baby blue ones that is not fractured.

Just to clarify, most (>50%) of Ravenswoods are under 5/8", I suspect the vast majority of marbles they sold in bulk were 9/16". But there are plenty of 5/8" Ravenswoods in boxes and bags. It also seems like many of the earlier batch glass marbles were on the smaller side compared to later production.
