Like Ric, I don't see any CAC traits, what Characteristics are you seeing that are Chrissy?

Did JABO make some like this in 5/8? I would have put this with my Alleys but the oxblood on white marbles can be pretty tough.

I just haven't seen a Kokomo built close to that way before and it doesn't look like Kokomo glass to me. Here is one of Jessica Allison's trays of Kokomos with the white and red on clear for reference.

Yep, all 3 CACs. Nice!

Pelt to me.

Sorry but it looks like I have to download that to my PC to view it. Not doing that.

Vacor

Yes

I'm with Ric, it's Heaton.

All St. Mary's Alleys IMO.

Right I saw that, which is why I said "when you're able", knowing you weren't able at this time.

I would probably put this with Cairo. The bubbles in the base, the dark red ribbon in a simple folded ingot swirl pattern like Cairo is known for... but might change my mind looking at it in hand. Sorry this pic is a little dark:

Any glow under UV light? The actual size would help when you're able. Shooter size gets used for most anything 3/4" or more these days but if they are exactly shooter size which IS 3/4", then my answer will be different than it would be if you tell me they are 1 1/8".

What sizes are they?

That's an earlier Imperial/Asian IMO. The seams look like Master but the glass gives it away. I save these type Imperials, they are nice.

These both look like Mid-Atlantic marbles to me and I wanted to comment that a couple days ago but I am not aware of shooter size marbles from them. Anyone?

It's SMM at that size and pattern.

One of the nicest #200 boxes I've seen. Edit* It just occurred to me that this is already Thursday. The week is flying by. Oh well, I'll leave it anyway.

Bulgarian was my immediate impression when I saw it as well.

He does make up names. He doesn't hide it or anything, he told me he made them up. Somebody made up every marble name out there at some point.

Looks Champ here.

Some you can definitely feel it, no question. Here are some close ups of a couple I have that Chad showed earlier. Sorry Fire, I don't know who made yours. It's an odd one.

On the tangent of chalkies, the story above isn't how they came to be. It was supposed that it was possible until we found out that the chalk IS the ribbon inside and out. A chalky broken in half has chalk on the inside. In fact, a chalky was put into an acid and it ate out the chalk and left a marble full of wormholes where the chalk was. I wish I could find a pic. The chalk was in the tank and coming out with the stream of glass. I don't know if it was a component of glass that didn't get mixed, someone goofing around with lime or something similar, an accident, glops of mortar that fell in during tank repairs, who knows. But it does go throughout the marble, not just on the surface as it would be from rolling on lime or a reaction from the ground they were buried in.

St. Mary's Alley.

I'd pass at 500. I agree, the Carnival isn't ideal condition-wise. I might pay 300 for the whole jar but I'm a little picky these days. There are some nice marbles in there and pieced out one at a time, they could get 500 but that takes time and time is money, and you don't buy a jar of marbles for individual retail under normal circumstances.
