I'll stick with my original thoughts on those.

Thanks Chad, I appreciate the education. It is as I expected - maybe I'm finally starting to figure the old Germans out. 🙂

Cool, your yard/lot must have been a pretty popular play place!

@supramisfit Nice marbles - "Sahuaro" is really neat!

You are really close with the MK "Boy Scouts", most folks call them Cub Scouts, since blue and yellow are the dominant colors of their uniforms, and the bit of orange on the one is not too unusual. Making making machine made marbles is not exactly a precision process and having a bit of extra color is not uncommon, especially with MK. The black/yellow/white ones look modern and foreign to me, maybe Mexican or Asian. I can't really see much of the green/yellow/black one - it might help if we could see the ends of the ribbons.

Another beautiful set, David. I'd love to see a couple of close-ups of the pinched pontil on these.

That's a pretty one, Chad! Would those be considered "English" colors?

15/16" Cat's Eye . . .

A lot of "pocket wear" but I have a hard time ignoring a good black on this type . . .

I'll stick with JABO for all but #3 then and go with Alley on that one.

One more . . .

Couple of swirls . . .

I don't think so, Joe. I haven't seen any than can be positively attributed to Sistersville and I don't think any were found at the Pennsboro site either.

JABO Megan's Memorial Run, 06/05/2011.

Looks like there might be a whip-tail in the last photo.

I am leaning slightly Ravenswood over Alley on the first one. The second looks like it might be an American Agate, and I think the third is Alley.

I think Cairo is a good possibility.

Maybe an Alley from St. Mary's.

It's giving me a foreign vibe, maybe Imperial.

The first is definitely Kokomo. Not too sure about the second one.

Looking at these again, I think that only the 3rd marble may NOT be JABO. What size is each of them?

Neither Champion nor Ravenswood made 1" marbles (excluding Paul Bunyans, perhaps). I think they're probably all Alley but a bit less sure about the second one since JABO also made similar.

Pelt names seem to be evolving but I think most folks would call it a Lemon Lime, some might call it a Girl Scout, and OG's might still refer to it as a John Deere. Wise people will pay more attention to the marble than the name. 🙂

What size is the swirl? Which photos represent the colors most accurately - the first four or the last two?

AFAIK, a pigtail is wholly submerged in the base glass. This would be a "snake", if it's Akro, which i am not sure about.
