Rick, they're linking you to a thread about Vitro Confettis.
I have this old link where I saved an article from Pete's land of marbles newsletter. I don't see the name Davis. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/11476-vitro-confettis
One question here is if you are seeing two distinct seams.
The second question is if you are seeing at least one distinct ribbon pair.
So far I could see Peltier, Marble King, Bogard, Master, ...
I should know the blue one. But I don't. I'm not familiar enough with how to tell the difference between a Vitro Whitie and a two-ribbon Pelt Rainbo.
I'm leaning Pelt on bottom left.
That's a whole lot of red ribbon on the top right. I could see that going any of four ways.
And I can't make out what is inside the bottom right.
I don't have an answer. I wanted them to be Alley. I liked the thought that Rosenthal employee Berry Pink might have used his Alley connections to get patches into those boxes.
But we've been assured the patches couldn't possibly have been Alley.
So I kinda vaguely went with the idea that they were Akro, which you're now calling into doubt.
So ?????
Good question. Possibly Vitro and therefore American. But I can't be sure with the views shown. Would be helpful to focus on the ends of the vanes to see if we have an American cutline or an Asian cutline.
There _ARE_ paperweight marbles -- looking like paperweight construction spherical and not flat.
But I'm guessing that was supposed to be a paperweight.
And I can't remember right now what the paperweight marbles look like.
And I gotta run to work now.
Could be a fun topic.
I haven't watched the videos yet. Just bumping the thread to mention that I have the book entitled A Stone's Throw: The History of Marbles in the Upper Cumblerland Region of Tennessee and Kentucky, by Darren Shell.
I'm so bad, I got it years ago yet I haven't even removed the cellophane wrapper.
So now I have it on top of my to-do stack to remind me to watch the videos and read the book.
The leather might in theory be too textured. The theory is that the camera needs to not think it's the background texture that it needs to focus on, so that it's more willing to focus on the marble.
But really, your enlarged views show very nice detail. Don't worry about me sitting over here being late to the show.
