Yeah, it is.

St. Marys Alley to me. These can be tough.

St. Marys Alley

Hello! That is a clearie marble. They were made by all the companies and by the billions. Pretty much impossible to tell the age and maker. Fun to find though!

Looks like a woody to me.

Those big ones are JABO 100%

Jolly Green Giant, Alley St. Marys.

A few neat ones I picked up this year.

Early Alley from Sistersville. This color combo I only know of being made by Alley and CAC.

Alleys.

What is that, some AI answer?

Pelt. No ox.

Yep, St. Marys Alley.

These types aren't my strongest area of knowledge, but I don't know of Greiners being cane cut at all. Far as I know they were single gathers just like Leighton and Navarre, except the Greiners normally have some faceting. The cane cut ones I just know as German.

Correct. Nice work!

Red Ravens have a tan base, not white. I do think it's RW though.

Yep, Heaton.

Uneducated bidders IMO.

There is a guy selling marbles as chalkies on ebay. He's been coming up with loads of them. He says he's digging them up out west somewhere with a mixture of all sorts of makers and styles. Many have white glass sickness from some sort of corrosive condition either from the ground or from something they're being soaked in. He's been told they aren't chalkies but that doesn't stop him. It's all about the money.

Thanks Rick! Enjoy!

Chalkies were made, abalones are a result of being buried. I wrote a good bit about it here. https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?t=63194

Thanks Tommy!

I don't know, I'd pass on that marble even if it was free, without the junk in it, but with the junk I'd give a buck for it. Just because it's different.

No MFC reds. They kept meticulous records of their products and red is never mentioned in their inventory of marbles.

Happens to us all!
