It's a simple 7/8" as hand-mades go, but the colors, the transparent ribbons and the condition caught my eye - I just couldn't leave it behind. I never thought it would happen, but I have fallen pretty hard for the old Germans . . .

Jumpin' jimminy man, that's a nice marble!

Love those fat vanes and the structure is really cool too!

I'm with later All Reds too.

It's kind of a wild one, Tommy. It would have sorted as No. 5. I'm with Art on the ID and oxblood.

I'm think Vitro too, but I can see why you had a Pelt feeling . . .

Oh, and those Alox Air Force bags are fantasies. Alox did not package them and they probably do not have Alox marbles in them.

This is kind of a tough one, at least for me, does it glow under UV?

I think it's a big funky Vitro Conqueror.

Alley Agate to me.

@bumblebee Sorry about that, Jason . . . it was all Art's fault! 😇 @akroorka 😛 Here's a recent 7/8" score . . .

Nice Alleys! @VaMarbles @Tommy Nice pattern - reminds me a little of this one . . .

My favorite white-based Alley . . .

Champion . . .

Many of them look Heaton to me, Tommy.

These pink Anacortes were posted by a long-gone member (Don Miller) about 15 years ago. The pic's not the best but there is yellow in there. IMO, If your marble is not Vitro, it's probably foreign, and I don't think it's foreign.

Frankly, I think the term "diaper fold" has limited utility. My only point is that not all marbles have two cut lines.

Not to be nit-picky here, Art, but while all wholly machine-made marbles might have two cut-lines, transitional (hand-gathered/machine rounded) types usually only have one - like these favorites of mine. As for "diaper folds", I think of them as a particular type of single-seam transitional where there is looping around the edges of the seam: I guess you're supposed to imagine a baby's legs sticking out of there - never made a lot of sense to me. 😄

For comparison, here is a nice K&M that Bumblebee posted from one of Marblealan's auctions . . .

I think I see AV . . . is that a Green Fizz?

More patches . . . a few Acme Realers.

Your pics look okay to me. The green on black is nice. Is the base opaque, or more like a Bruiser?

Nice box, Rick - original marbles too, no doubt! I especially like the brown on white ones around 2 o'clock. I see a little horsehair in there too.

Most say Heaton Agate on the long box edge. Is yours not labelled?

Sorry, I certainly didn't mean to upset you. I honestly have no idea what "super rare" means and was hoping you might clarify it for me.
