Ox, right? I have no idea how to differentiate the different brick makers. But I look forward to seeing what others think about it.

What is directly opposite from pic 7?

This is my best guess for the answer to that question: Photos courtesy of Jeff Lewis

I don't see Vacor there. Vacor marbles tend to be more fancy and/or newer looking. This glass looks old to me. I'd like to hear more about the Vitro possibilities. Maybe there's a blind spot in my Vitro memory.

For rocks, Carnelian and Cornelian are the same. M F Christensen's American Cornelian was oxblood -- those are the famous bricks. I believe that Akro called their bricks Red Striped Carnelians in the 1910's. So those are different from when Akro used the Carnelian name again in the 1930's. Akro's Cornelians from the 20's look like so -- not quite a slag but similar: So you can see the difference between that and the Akro Carnelian of the 30's. Akro's Moss Agates came in different patterns: Swirl and cork as well as patch. Collectors call the swirly and corky ones different things now -- Ades, Aces, Ringers, Blue Eggyolks, etc. -- but for Akro they were Moss Agates.

Yeah, I'm sure not pushing Kokomo. Just can't figure out what it could be if American, so I was free-associating.

adorable! and the bunny is super cute

Any opinion on what to call Winnie's top center marble? And Hack's? With the opaque orange-red ribbon?

Still itchin' to see the 1 and 1/4" Ravenswood. 1" and 1 and 1/4". Made with the 1 and 1/4" orifice. No way that was a typo! Too detailed to be an error. Right?

If American, could it be Kokomo? I know that's a horrible suggestion to make -- because there were so few Kokomos made and not every oddball can be Kokomo. I've never been in the presence of an actual Kokomo bag but that reminds me of marbles that I've imagined I've glimpsed in pictures over the computer. For example:

Carnelian box photos come out with such different shades? Was there a wide variation of shades in the boxes? Or is it mostly about the lighting?

So now that's a good question, which I don't know the answer two. Are Hack's marble and Winnie's top middle marble Orange-Ades? Cherry-Ades? Something else? I started to wonder if they were Carnelians, but the red-orange seems too solid for a Carnelian, right? Carnelians:

There's no Kokomo "Mostly Pix" thread! Okay, now there's a Kokomo thread. Mostly Pix - Kokomo

How did a miss starting a Kokomo Mostly Pix thread? Well, we have several Kokomo picture threads around the site, which I need to link. So here's one place I can link 'em.

I dare say dolls are as nice as marbles.

That was very exciting. Surprise finish! Did you have an spectators?

Here's the 1945 magazine with the great Ravenswood article in it: (Text of the article is in the thumbnails here: 1945.)

Random Ravenswood photo. Pulled one out and took a pic of it last night for another purpose, so here it is today for this thread.

Bring over a friend with a camera!!!!!! Bribe him or her with something if needed!!!!!!

Poo ... the thumbnail is not opening for me. I'm not sure what a cherry ade or orange ade is though. So hopefully someone else can answer.

LOL @ "mibochondriac". If that's not a word, it should be. heh

What makes you think dug? And is that oxblood inside there? No particular thoughts on this end other than "clearies with an extra something".

Here are two different Blueberries from a previous discussion. Both marbles sold by Marblealan. This was called a Blueberry Ade: This was called a Blueberry Limeade: The Blueberry Limeades were said to be more common than the Blueberry Ades.

Posted elsewhere tonight so probably should post it here also while I'm in the neighborhood: I think this is from the 1950's. Found in AMMM.
