LOL, it's true, Jeff, I haven't seen many marbles with multicolor drool.

I agree with three Vitro TriLites and am leaning Akro for the left one, but I'd want to see the opposite seam before committing since I can't rule out Vitro from this view.

I think that ribbon in the second pic is actually two ribbons that came together from opposite sides of the seams.

Nice TriLite.

I'm thinking Cairo Novelty.

I've always liked the base glass in these Alleys, it's a little different.

Not certain, but I'm thinking about JABO contract runs for the OP marble - I've seen some pretty similar.

I would probably call those in the small group "Crockery marbles". IMO, they are not typical Benningtons. The three toward the center might fall into the "Lined Crockery" realm - some folks might refer to them as "Jaspers".

Here's a wild one . . .

@Columbusrockhound I just want to commend you for the really outstanding job you did with the website! And I'm looking forward to the show - it's always been one of my favorites.

This is what I was thinking too, Art. And yes, that transparent one is a straight up purie - pretty red glass too, but I'm having a tough time getting a good look at the cut lines.

Thank you, Al. I was hoping you would chime in. The "clearie" in this bag really surprised me.

My first inclination is Ravenswood.

I agree, this is a tough one to decipher but it seems like Akro might be a better possibility than either MFC or CAC.

I agree, not CAC.

Here's a nice little mislabeled (or mis-filled) bag with some good marbles that I recently passed on to another collector . . .

FWIW, I've not seen a Jolly Green Giant under 7/8" and I am not getting a JGG vibe from the OP.

I have seen quite a few Paul Bunyan mesh bags, the vast majority of them have a questionable paper "Akro note" stapled in with the header. I have noticed that some, but not all, of the bags without the "note" are about 5" long (measured from the bottom seam to the top opening) - longer than the others, which are about 4 1/4" long. In addition, I have never seen one of the longer bags with the "note" attached. This is one of the longer bags and the first Paul Bunyan bag of any type I have seen with a transparent marble in it, and this marble appears to have the same structure as the others. I am wondering if bag length may be a way to distinguish the bags originally filled by Ravenswood from those filled later using marbles from the "dusty bin" mentioned in the "note". Please let me know if you have seen one of the longer bags with the "Akro note" attached, or if you have seen any other Ravenswood Paul Bunyan bag with a transparent marble in it. Thanks! If this is all new to you, I suggest looking here for a recent discussion . . .

9/16" Rainbow Red

The OP looks Vacor from here.

I have (maybe had) a few of these types. To me, they appear a bit more like six-ribbon Rainbos than NLRs but "tweener" may be appropriate for these. I do not think I have heard a name for them recently. They may have been referred to as a type of "Dragon" back in the day.

@Melissa I have seen this type in hand before and remember how interesting they were. I also remember thinking that they were not Akro. I have seen other non-Akro marbles with similar construction too.

I'm fairly sure this is an early hand gathered American slag with a regular melted pontil, likely from one of Leighton's Ohio companies. People may refer to them as "transitional" but the are fully hand made.
