Champion is one possibility for it.

Sounds like a good guess.

Underwater here? Looks like a painting. Love it. What are the itty balls around it?

This would be an earlier Alley. 1931 to 1937 for Pennsboro. 1937 to 1949 for St. Marys.

"Pennsboro Blues" ... I love saying that ... it's like a prison band or a minor league baseball team travelling around in the 1930's. Tried to capture the grain of some of the more translucent white glass ^^ (Dug by Ron Shepherd)

My Pennsboro Blues ... some opaque, some more filamented. I also tried to capture some of the texture. Your pic came through better than mine ... naturally. But to my eye they seem practically like twins.

Oooh, I see some transparent swirls that I didn't remember in that box. Sorry, got distracted for a moment. Yes, I'm totally seeing Pennsboro Alley.

That would fit nicely in my Pennsboro Alley box.

Kelp!

Before we learned about Veiligglas, this thread would have had a lot more more marbles in it!

Part of me wonders if it could be a conglomeration of dyed minerals ground into a sphere. Part of me laughs at me for thinking that.

It's interesting. I do not recognize it as an antique type. I don't know all there is about antiques, but I'll _guess_ that this is a modern marble.

Big John says to tell everyone hi. *waves*

Sounds good

Would like slightly larger pix if possible Am I seeing a seam in pic #3 for the first marble? Sorry, the pic is small and dim and I can't make it out. I'm leaning toward Master if it has the small cutlines that I think I see a hint of. For the second marble, it looks like the first three pics are mostly the same view. Is that a small cutline on those? I'm leaning Akro Slag on it, but more views could change my mind. If slag, then it's official name would be "Onyx" or I suppose it could be "Striped Onyx" but I don't recall exactly when that name was used.

Leaning Akro

Aw gee, I don't know. Both patch edges are fairly even. Peltier _can_ have even edges, in spite of the stereotype of them having wild patches. Still ... I'm kinda leaning Akro here, in spite of the patch being so skinny. I don't know!

Hi Burt. Thanks for adding some more sizzle to the summer!

LOVE! LOL @ the missing dolls. My baby brother had an anatomically correct boy doll when he was a tot in the mid 70's.

I bet that back in the day the kids would have called this one a snotty.

The grainy photo makes me hesitant, but I say good chance it's oxblood. Processing the cues as well as I can, I seem to see the needed opacity, and the movement is good for oxblood. So, yes, I think so, with the standard disclaimer that other views could change my mind.
