I'm thinking Pokemon, but they are a little different than others I have seen. Perhaps they are from a game of sort?

Not an Alley Superman in my book. You need better separation of colors and a good yellow, IMO. I call the two left front "Super Ghosts". They have a translucent base like the Alley Ghost.

I'm thinking that is an Alley from St. Mary's.

Sammy's Mountain Marbles (Sam Hogue).

It looks Akro to me.

I'm surprised to hear this because I guess it would mean that a typical fruit cocktail is bifurcated? Is the idea that a bifurcated marble has a color that only appears on one side of the marble?

I can't believe I never saw this. Thanks for posting the link. I really enjoy the sound of that machine in action. Those are some pretty fancy marble shears too. 😉

CR seems like a possibility but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this marble so won't commit. Is there any blue on the interior?

I'm thinking Peltier too.

I don't remember exactly who made this one but it's JABO, DAS or SMM.

I could see a Vacor Neptune, one that's more bubbly than I am used to seeing though.

I think it's a slag too but with those two seams I am leaning more toward CAC or German.

Alox also purchased marbles from Ravenswood so it's possible that is how the PBs wound up in Alox packaging. And PBs are not specifically mentioned in any of the Master or Alox paperwork AFAIK. Although there is paperwork showing that Master sold large marbles to Alox, which is pretty obvious if you look at the Alox bags with large Sunbursts in them. It also seems odd that the PBs were packaged by and labelled as Ravenswoods if they were made by Master (or Akro for that matter, which I think has pretty well been ruled out). Assuming the PBs were produced to supply the maker of the wooden PB-Babe toy (too lazy at the moment to find their name), it seems odd that Ravenswood would serve as a middle man - putting Master marbles in Ravenswood packaging. The fact that they are entirely unlike any other marble Ravenswood produced sure would have been obvious to the toy producer who would likely have gone straight to the source to purchase them rather than buying them through Ravenswood. I think Ron ultimately decided that he believed the employees (or offspring) who told him that they were made by Ravenswood, rather than the one who told him that Ravenswood didn't produce them. And the story about them being made at the pottery company (your right, it was very close to the Ravenswood site) helped explain that discrepancy. I think it was an offspring of a Ravenswood employee who told him that their father made them at the pottery factory and remembered him bringing home warm ones. Of course, a lot of confusion stems from the fact that the PB marbles are found in both mesh and poly bags that were apparently filled long after the marbles were made (the ones with the "Akro" card attached), and many Alox bags were back-filled at a later date too. It seems likely to me that the person(s) who found the cache of PBs was packing them in any old bags/headers they could find, and also in those bags labelled "Genuine Old Fashioned Marbles", which also included typical Ravenswoods. Ron and I discussed the origins of these marbles on numerous occasions over many years. I do not recall him citing any one specific reason that ultimately caused him to settle on the Ravenswood/pottery idea - I think it was likely an accumulation of things. Nola might have a more specific recollection though.

Wow, those are really attractive, big too - love the cut lines!

They are from a JABO investor run, which one escapes me at the moment.

I think it might just be yellow washed out over the white base on that one side. Bifurcated Pelts actually have two different colors of base glass.

That's really neat - a fairly rare occurrence I would think.

That Fenton Burmese glass always reminds me of bubble gum. 🙂

Nice bunch of vintage marbles!

That is really awesome. It sounds like a labor of love and perseverance - way to stick with it! It's a beautiful looking piece of machinery, I'd love to see it in use.

I think it's an odd but pretty cool Peltier Rainbo - the "V" appears to be made up of two ribbons - the bottom one should go around the other side of the marble.

It looks like a transparent Clown to me.

I think Boris might be on to something but I would want a few more views.

The only similar American marble I can think of is a CAC American Agate but the colors don't look right to me. IMO, it looks more like a foreign transitional in these photos.
