@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.

I believe you meant "Tiger Eyes". Cat's Eyes have colored vanes in transparent base glass. I think many folks would call the big one a Type IV TE, and maybe the smaller blue/yellow one next to it. Otherwise it's tough for me to tell from the single view.

or Champion?

What does "super rare" mean?

I have seen the fish but I do not own one. They are neat too. The coolest old Chinese sulfide I have ever seen was a sitting "Happy Buddha" (with many children and birds crawling all over him) in about a 3" sphere. I saw it about 25 years ago and it is the only one I have ever seen - I once saw an image of it on the web but I did not save it and I've never seen it again, even though I have searched for years. I have vowed to buy one if I ever see one for sale. But I am beginning to doubt if I'll ever have the opportunity to own one. 🙁

Alley Agates, as far as I can tell.

They did a lot of browns and they used that milky grayish base too. Heaton would be my second choice though - based mostly on the pattern, which is a little different, but certainly not out of the question, for Alley.

Heaton is what I am thinking.

My first thought is Alley.

Alley X2

I am pretty sure that's an Alley. And yes, a good yellow is rarely seen on Ravenswoods.
