Yes, all in one. I'm not counting all in my group shots. Just not separating out the red/white/blue ones.

that too

It would be useful, interesting and possibly reassuring to see examples of marbles from Akro dirt (or wherever) which match the ones from Alley dirt.

This comparison photo Browndog took was frequently used in the effort to convince everyone that patches found at Sistersville were Alleys:

It would be soooo nice for someone who had the marble resources to show some comparisons of known non-Alleys to go with the patches we see from Sistersville.

Some red/white/blue amongst my last Ravenswood shot.

They're working hard.

Dave, did you ever get a second opinion on these?

Love the art hanging on the wall in the splash page.

And some nice marbles for display in the various categories.

way cool

It's a little rough.

I call it a place saver.

Thanks for the reminder.

More fried marbles

I had to google Viking glass. Wasn't familiar with that.

LOL. That's funny. I do automatically rate most containers as how suitable they would be for marbles before I think about what other functions they might have.

I just checked and half of those have some bright green glow in them.

They say it's from the Vitrolite cullet.

Pix from Dani. The label says the same on both sides. One staple was opened to remove the marbles for cleaning. Note the small mesh.

Any more word on the blue and reds?

Gonna get a three-fer out of my Jacksons.

Please share your other red/white/blues with known (or fairly certain) makers.

I didn't know (or didn't remember) I had a purple ribboned marble in my Jacksons. I probably would have guessed Alley for this one up front:

Who all made marbles with purple? Pictures, pretty please.

All my known Jacksons:

Thanks guys!

I love the fall colors, Bo.

And that'll sure "do", Randy.

Those could be the ones. I can't tell what those are. They were a slightly smaller size than the ones I was sure were Jabo. So, I still don't know.

Could still be Jabo. Or could be older swirls.

Hmmm. Not sure.

I only see one. Clear with white and yellow dots.

What size is it? I agree likely Chinese. And modern. Might be hand-made though. Can't remember if this style is among the modern Chinese handmades. (Most marbles with speckles on them are machine-made, but this one might be different.)

(Technology is intimidating.
