Robin's Egg Colors are similar to (but different than) Alley's Blue Sky.

. . . a tough marble to photograph.

American jobber with Japanese marbles.

Six more MKs

And here in 1932

I have my thoughts, but what do you think?

Champion left and Ravenswood right. Transparent red/orange is not common on the Champions.

I was wondering what that was - Satan makes more sense now. The hand gesture does too.

This is all great stuff - the opener and holder are super. Does anyone recognize the character? He's got interesting hand gestures, legs and feet . . . reminds me a little of Pan.

Well, that will keep you busy. Have you seen Chuck's Chart?

Here is a selection of Alley Agates from the Lawrence Glass Novelty Company site in Sistersville WV. One hundred and forty-four different marbles are shown (sizes vary considerably). Please excuse the dirt, out of rounds, as-mades and poor photos. All of these marbles were dug. Enjoy! P.S. I buy mint examples - PM me!

John, Did Ron ID the Sistersville too? It looks a lot like some Ravenswoods. And I haven't seen a Sistersville quite like it.

Whether or not you pull that pic off is entirely up to you. If you trust the ID, leave it. Anyone coming here should understand that IDing marbles is as much art as science. I am actually more interested in that Sistersville. And since I feel sort of bad about so much talk in a "Mostly Pics" thread, here is a Sistersville Alley - dug at the site.

Is that what they'd call a Grenier?

Well, that's interesting, and the time-frame seems right too.

I prefer to be very cautious with IDs. I have seen too many people call "definite" IDs on marbles based on a couple of photos and very little knowledge about other possibilities or variations that are out there. And I know from experience that the first tests returned are often the lowest scores in the class, usually because the student thinks they know far more than they actually do. Don't get me wrong here, that marble might be Alley, but I am not confident enough to go there "for sure", and I have seen Ravenswoods with similar patterns. Having said that, if there is a green tint in the base running along the red (first pic?) I would probably lean Alley too. I also have not seen a Sistersville Alley like the one you posted. What do you know about that one?

Oooh, I like that . . . you sure about Alley? It'd be a killer Ravenswood.
