That's a great find. You'll have all kinds of fun sorting those. I see more Japanese transitionals in there . . .

I'd have a hard time calling it American.

Nice Ravenswood.

I think Vitro is a good bet - just a patch.

It's a game marble with some stray color.

Maybe Heaton.

Probably Alley, IMO.

I think Alley is a good bet.

That is a Yasuda pinch pontil transitional, IMO.

I don't think it is but that is why this one would be a hybrid - they're not entirely unheard of.

There's some crazy drizzle on that moon!

Thanks, John. It's one of my favorites construction-wise, for sure. They obviously had some very talented and well-practiced gatherers. And you're right, being there would have been a real treat. But my bet is that it probably wasn't a very pleasant work environment.

Yeah, I'm not that memorable of a character. 😄

😄Well, I still don't really remember if I got from you or not so I'll have to leave that up to you. I suppose a lot of different people could have bought it. Do you remember selling it to me. lol

This is a crease pontil so I think Seike. Yasuda have pinched pontils.

I think it's a variant of the newer style All Red.

I'd say it's Asian and leave it at that.

I think they are probably all Alley Agates.

You know, once again, these crazy marbles often don't fit our rigid definitions. To me, it's a BLAR with a wide and well defined central ribbon. To someone else, it might be a Hybrid Blackie, and I probably wouldn't argue too much about it. Given the choice between a BLAR and a Hybrid Blackie, I'll choose the more likely (common) possibility. As a seller, you may opt to go the other direction. Ultimately, a correct ID is up to the buyer anyways - buyer beware, as usual.

They were only in business for about six years. Have you ever checked out Joe Street's old reference site, which is now hosted here?

Hah, In that close up shot the debris does appear to have a shovel under it.

I think they're both Akro too.

Just a little different variation of a Tiger Eye. If it's on clear transparent it's a Type III and if it's on opaque white it's a Type IV.

Vitro Black Line All Red.

I agree with Akro slag.
