Hi Nancy, If Alley I think the family name is West Virginian. That base looks very solid. I'm not not sure if it's Alley. Wait for a 2nd opinion!
-
Interesting. Can we have pictures in different lighting? Is it a swirl? It mostly looks like a swirl, but I'm not seeing the ribbon well.
-
More views in different lighting might help someone. For now I'm seeing "transparent swirl" -- transparent version of West Virginia swirl. And pretty much all mine go together and I don't worry about who made them. When I see horsehair oxblood, I think of Alley or Champion, but I don't know what the latest word is on that subject.

What a pretty one. I wonder which run it come from.
-
Yes. Important example.
-
Comes from Asia. Modern.

I'm leaning Alley.

The turkey head has a ribbon which makes a bit of a loop. It's not so much of a "fold" as your marble is.
-
That's what it looks like to me.

I'm leaning Vacor on the big one. Not really getting a handle on the one you took individual shots of. I don't recognize it as older, so my default answer would be newer ... but basically I'm not getting a good feel for the structure.

Found it ... and uploaded it to imgur instead of photobucket!

Have you seen the 1940 photo of Berry Pink with Marble King mesh bags?

Pretty sure my computer is not supposed to be making this noise. Gonna try to figure out what's wrong. Might be offline for awhile. Hold the fort down while I'm gone.

Ah, Richard ... I should have said "European machine-made" coz I surely didn't remember where it might have come from! Thanks, everyone!
-
... normal size?

@orbboy, are you around?
-
@winnie, do you recognize this. Is this a "wispler"?

Onyx originally meant slag to Akro, but around 1930 they switched their operations to making corkscrews, and they changed the Onyx name over to the corks. And you have one of their corks.
-
Oh yes! Akro Onyx corkscrew. Also called an Auger.

Not a German handmade. Guess it could be a German machine-made if you're sure about it not fitting in your Master case.
