That's an interesting question. I'm going to guess the answer to the Clarksburg address on the Master Glass label has something to do with where offices were. I say with some confidence that the cat's eye bags weren't introduced until the 1950's.

I really like that Alley.
-
Any chance of it being a modern marble? A Jabo or DAS?
-
The texture on the yellow tells me Imperial.

Yes to "swirl". I don't know which company. Will have to leave that for others.

Hi. I was thinking of you yesterday. I don't think Vitro would ever have occurred to me on the left. Alley or Akro on that one? On the right ... I don't have guess.

Hi. Those were made by Jabo. While I do know a champion marble player who loves to play with Jabos, the Jabo Classics (which these are) were more of a side run by a company which specialized in industrial marbles. It wasn't a mass playing marble operation so they didn't worry so much about the marbles being perfectly round.

Good bet those are plastic. The rest make a nice vintage group.

Nice bump. Does that odd skin have a name?

Greetings! WV is a pretty good place to be indeed!

Welcome!

Thanks, Ron!

It's a West Virginia swirl, from the 1940's or thereabouts, I think. But which WV company? @wvrons .... jmglenn has some browns .....

Not seeing enough of the internal structure to judge.

This is a game marble. Considered "solid color" thought it might have some variations in shade. It is almost impossible to ID who made a game marble unless you have the actual package in which it was originally sold. Game marbles was a big industry which many manufacturers took part in.

This is a modern Asian cage-style cat's eye.

@StéphaneFrance posted this on Facebook. 3.93 inches. This inspires me! I keep saying I want to make a very small run ... and I honestly keep thinking about it ... thought about it this past week ... am saving micropeewees for the purpose. But I guess I could also try to find one of these to buy because it looks so fun.

I agree with your original verdict. I'm curious though as to whether its UV reactive.
-
Nice 9! I need to file this one away in my imposter files!

I was about to say I was unable to comment on gallery photos. But apparently a recent software fix changed that. I added one comment. I'll go have another look now.

My question is "Alley or Christensen or Vacor". And I don't have any strong feelings.
-
So glad to hear business is good!

Maybe Ravenswood?

very strange
