Yes, it is dyed. Some can be dyed blue too. I think they often used the more drab white/gray stones for dying since they were not as attractive as the stones with better color and the dyed color came out better using the lighter-colored stones.

This one looks like a JABO to me.

Looks like an NLR Butterscotch to me - nice one too.

Sorry about your mishap. There are always lessons to be had. Glad you recognized one and stated it so well here. Quite a few years ago Bill McCaleb was carrying a tray of about 120 high dollar Alleys. He caught his foot on a step and flung them all over the kitchen. They were in the sink, down register grates, even on top of the kitchen cabinets. Fortunately, most of the ones we recovered were undamaged but we were still finding them months later - they really went everywhere. It was a comical episode and Bill was unhurt so we were both chuckling when he got up off the floor, looked at me and said, "they're only marbles". We laughed about it for years and years.

I've always been a fan of translucent agates . . .

I think that is a fairly common bag of Vitros packaged for the French market in the 1970s. It looks like the marbles are the newer style All Reds and related patches.

Banded Swirl?

I think it's a Pelt Rainbo - nice colors.

Chocolate Mint

Alox bought marbles from Master (I have several Alox bags with big Master Sunbursts in them) but they only made game marbles and swirls, which were mostly transparent.

Dang, are you sure?

Some great color and nice marbles in this bag of Pennsboro Alleys . . .

I've grabbed these about every chance I've had. Years ago we sorted them as Champions but at the Indy Show earlier this year I put one in Ron's hands and he said "that's a nice Heaton". I also see that Bob Block sold one in a Heaton group last year so I am now convinced they are Heatons. Very nice marbles too, IMO - sorry it's not the best photo.

That's a nice pair, Chad! Is there a bit of AV in that Corkscrew too?

It might be an early Alley.

It looks like you have a few different makers in this bunch, Joe. Probably some Masters but then perhaps some Akros, Imperials and maybe even a Vitro or two. It's kind of hard to tell from these pics.

I agree, nice bunch of Ravenswoods in there.

These types are nearly impossible to sort. Lots of different companies made really similar ones. Having said that, and from what I can see, the two middle ones look a little Champion-ish to me.

Does it react to UV?

Base looks a little unusual to me.

Yes

IMO, it looks like it's in the family - some sort of a hybrid, I think.

Perhaps some type of iron ore.

I just finished fixing photos, updating links and editing text in all of my old posts in this topic. But since this is "Mostly Pix" I'll add a few more of some favorite Champion types. 🙂

X2, Akro Royal patch.
