@Jeff54 I like the weirdos too, and you've posted up some interesting ones, for sure. Just because a marble didn't meet the company standard and got pitched doesn't mean you can't learn anything from it, and it doesn't mean they aren't attractive in their own way either.

These are cool marbles, RAR. I have not seen them before (except when you posted them earlier). The construction reminds me most of modern Marble Kings, but the two different-colored transparent patches make them pretty unusual, I think. They sure are pretty though.

That's a dandy in your avatar!

I agree with DAS, as it says.

I think this one is likely Alley too.

Nice addition, Steph. I would love to see that 3 cent book, "All About Marbles".

I'm thinking that's an Alley Agate from Pennsboro. And cutoffs on West Virginia Swirls like this are usually buried somewhere in the pattern of the marble - you shouldn't expect to see them like you might on an Akro or a Vitro, for instance.

A few Alleys for this fine Sunday . . .

Nothing like a little Vitro color to brighten one's day . . .

I thought you wanted to have some fun and maybe give some newbies a chance so I threw in a misdirect rather than making it a very short thread. 🙂

As I said, Chad - I know what it is, and I have seen some come out of the Alley Sistersville site. Both statements are true. lol

I also know what this is . . . pretty sure I've seen some of them come out of the Sistersville Alley site . . . 😉 Is the oxblood burnt? I'm not seeing it. I do see "horsehair" though.

I'm all good . . .

I've accumulated a few marbles too. I store most of them in "The Archive". 😄

Welcome to the Marble Connection, where you can call a marble whatever you would like. You just can't expect others to agree with you. 🙂

A hand-gathered CAC is going to have some swirling action because of the way the molten glass was spun onto the punty rod as it was gathered, and they will typically show a single seam, like this . . .

Sunbursts, 1" and 15/16" . . . Many this size were packaged by Alox.

A few 7/8" caged/horseshoe style Vitros

Just a few slags this Saturday . . .

@Al Oregon Thanks for the additions, Al! Great stuff, Joep, thanks for the additions. I am not sure why the info you posted showed up in a text box but the scrolling bugs me so I am repeating it here. 🙂 "The marbles are from the late 60's maybe early 70's, the Aguila stopped operating at the beginning of that decade and Vacor began its operations in 1974, in fact the first Vacor labels are identical to those of the Aguila, Only the logo of the Eagle changes to that of the Child within the triangle playing and colored blue / white and black , i am trying to get a better picture of the headercard as we speak , and added some pictures where the child / marbles logo is on , you can see it also on the older display box , later it changed in Don Juan and now they have a colofull logo."

This one doesn't have a name that I know of. Rainbos come in an endless variety of colors and combinations and the vast majority of them are not named.

A quick search revealed a few more "Eagle" branded packages . . . https://antoniosaz.blogspot.com/2022/04/canicas-aguila.html https://antoniosaz.blogspot.com/2015/05/canicas-aguila.html http://elkioskodeakela.blogspot.com/2008/08/las-canicas.html?spref=pi

Great info, Joep - thanks for posting it! This may well solve some mysteries. I'd appreciate a closer shot of the label - I can't quite make out all of the writing . . . 🙂

A nice pink stripe on this 11/16" . . . The second one I've found.

At least a few look like MK Bumble Bees to me.
