JABO is my guess - maybe the WVMCC run from 2011.

The weight difference between a 2" soda-lime marble (~173 g) and a 2" lead crystal marble (~186 g) is about a 7%. But it would be like trying to distinguish 34 nickels in one hand from 37 or 38 in the other hand based on weight. I am not sure I could do it.

Champion made marbles for a long time. There are a lot of them out there. The first label: Metal: Mesh with a few nice ones:

It's a good approach, but my calculations yield ~173 g for a 2" soda-lime glass marble (68.64 cm3 and your s-l density). As for variation, it would really depend on glass density and additives, as suggested. A lead glass 2" could go well over 212 g. And small variations in size are significant - a 2.05 " s-l would be ~186 g.

Hi Steph! Yup.
-
RIP, Marble Nut, and my sincere condolences to your family. You were one of the good guys, for sure.

I should take this one out of the bag . . .

Basically, a Master Tiger Eye with green instead of purple - less common in my experience.

Nice, rich blue wide ribbon with AV. That's a good find. It's really nice that you can post pics now!
-
I don't think it's Peltier either.
-
Now look here, Steph, you can't just say something like that, like it's 'just' dark blue AV on an Alley. Seriously, and then not show us a pic! I am telling you, it's almost inhumane. Bill, you must owe me a marble. I'll take the cow.

I am having a hard time making out any distinguishing features on the lower left one but I think the one to the right of it is Champion. I also think there are JABO Classics and others that aren't Alley in the group. Maybe I'll take a shot at better IDs later.

Alley Alley CAC?
-
Nice marble, I really like the transparent ones with well developed striping.
-
The Big 38 is a great bag. Does Dani still own it? Darla, the base on that Tater Bug looks pretty different, not like I am used to seeing. Nice oxblood all!
-
Nice pics, Lloyd. I wish my polling place looked like that.
-
. . . . uggggh, dark about 6:00. I don't like it.
-
I think the orange on green is Alley. The grey-based ones left of center are a bit harder to find - some of my favorites.
-
Nice, I would pick a few out of there in a heartbeat!

Unusual, and a great patch, regardless. -

Ron, Now you have me thinking about Winnie's marble and the one you posted. I was thinking Winnie's looked like a weaker example of that big bad AV I got in that first small group of Sistersville's - you know the one. But it looks a lot like the one you posted, which is odd. Maybe you could bring that one along for comparison? -
Alleys, I believe.

I think they are Alley.
