I think it's an Alley from Pennsboro, which rules out a Ghost (from St. Mary's).

You're a sport, Steph. I won't frustrate you anymore. I had this game for quite a long while before I noticed the misprint - no score in one of the corners. I hope Pressman got a cut rate from the printer!
-
Something else, Steph . . .
-
What's different about it, Steph? Look close . . .
-
I only have a few of the nine vanes too - they are nice. A large overstuffed four color MK (St. Mary's): No longer mine.
-
Bob, I liked the little Alpine adventure too. It's my understanding that, back in the day, similar mills were used to make everything from Blood Allies to cannon balls. The cup is Alley:

Well it's a pretty mystery, that's for sure.
-
Bill, You had at least a couple of opportunities to trade a good Alley for that one. Alley's Superman: Two front left are Super Ghosts, perhaps.
-
Well, there you have it. Nice collection, Craig.
-
Well, while I was sitting here wishing I was at the Buckeye Show, I remembered where I got this marble . . . Mr. Dickey.
-
Welcome! I have never seen one. It looks like a stenciled advertising (or slogan) marble. I do not know what "The Cat" is a reference to though. Maybe the French soap?

I couldn't say for sure, Bob. From the looks of it, maybe a No. 288? The Kugelmühle, by Aravind Natarajan. He has other really great photos in his travelogue of a trek through the German Alps: http://www.aravindnatarajanphotography.com/blog/2015/1/a-9-day-photo-hike-through-the-german-alps-berchtesgaden-and-garmisch-partenkirchen

Alley Green Giant.

Big 'nanas

Maybe more Aquamarine?

Peltier Metallic Bruiser No longer mine.

. . . or a joke.

Large Single Pontil Onionskin Needs Help!
Ric replied to Mattshaw1953's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Believe it or not, there are people who come here and try to learn specific details so they can better rip other people off. We like to make it clear that we do not condone such behavior. Hopefully, you agree with us. If you do, don't take it personally, stick around and have some fun. -
MK Pixie Dust.

Alley. Sistersville.
-
Peach Rose, yup, I just made that up.
-
Steph, I am confident this is natural stone - no color added. And I am pretty sure it was not made on a modern sphere machine. Hopefully, someone with knowledge of minerals and old stone marbles will chime in. Can you think of anyone who might be able to help?

Large Single Pontil Onionskin Needs Help!
Ric replied to Mattshaw1953's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
The glass would probably pop out of those chips if you grind it, so if they are deep enough such that rounding the marble to the deepest point would get into the core, it may not be possible to restore it by polishing. In that case, perhaps someone good with a torch would try?
