Here is what I know Pistachio's are a light green (Pistachio color) and black marble that glow under UV light Just took a few pics of our Pistachio and some Dug Alley (Sisterville I think from Ron Shepard) Pistachio Cullet

Great Pics all I wish I had more Crissy's but like Steph said I do have some really nice Guinea Chips. I will charge the camera battery up and dig them out. Seems like a good day to play marbles.

Not bidding higher on a Cigar box full of CAC's the top layer alone had 10 Salmon and Blacks, 3 of them flames that I could see. I had only been collecting a few months but knew they were special just not how special. I stopped a 500.00 thought my wife would kill me if I went higher, of course the lot sold for the next bid up (550.00). I hate auctions that end one bid above your high just never know if you would have won with one more bid. Live and learn and learn and learn. I finally deleted the one picture from the auction, just couldn't take it anymore Ron

Hi Golfer, I am in Illinois also (Fox Lake) If you ever want to meet up and learn marbles I have a pretty good collection I could show and tell you about. Marble are really addictive so be careful

Added a personal Albright Gallery with better pics. Here are a few of the updated pics

Merry Christmas to you also Steph. Merry Christmas to all us marble peeps out there. Ron & Autumn

I noticed my box has the Albright label glued to the top and the CAC printing on the front edge of the box. I am thinking this is a CAC box that Albright relabeled.

Additional information on the Albright Company from the American Toy Museum web site: ALBRIGHT COMPANY, J.E., THE: proper name. A toy marble company located in Ravenna, Ohio, 12 miles east of Akron; made clay marbles; the last ceramic toy marble factory in the United States. The company stopped manufacturing clay marbles in 1942 at the beginning of World War Two, turning its production capacities over to the war effort. You can easily identify the clay marbles made by this company because they are almost perfectly spherical. Most clay marbles made by other marble companies used S.C. Dyke’s patented technique and these are not perfectly spherical. The J.E. Albright Company also distributed marbles made by The Christensen Agate Company in the 1920s.

Hi Steph, I just found an Albright box filled with mostly CAC's I will get more pics up when the boxes are delivered. The box on the left is the Albright Box. The one on the right is a Master Made Box. I only saved the pictures of the marbles trying to figure out what the box was backfilled with.

WOW

Glad I didn't show you the snakes Ann

Hit that Orange Snake with a UV light you might have a glower there. About 8 of the 10 I have glow like crazy Nice Mibs

I sold a Late Late NLR or very early Rainbo to Gino Biffany (sp?) It was at least 1 1/8th Gino said it was the biggest one he ever saw. Ron

Has to be a rare color or 2 in there for that kind of price. I will have to go and look later and see.

Here is one of my favorites
