That was Nola Morgan. She was steadily digging up the grey marbles and Bill said something and she said "you just leave me alone with my sweet baby greys" and that's how those marbles got their name. Not part of the blush line though. The Kurly blush is definitely more purple than most of the other blush line. In my photo in Chad's link, I did include some that aren't part of the blush line just for more variety. I was creating a photo for a facebook group main photo and looking for the widest range of color in that range of the spectrum.

I don't think it qualifies as a Lady type marble (there is no Gray Lady to my knowledge). It's decidedly purple, not the lavender to pink hues found on the Blush Line. A nice looking marble though.

They would just be swirls, I guess they would fall into the JABO classics. JABO made the classics, which were sold to retailers like walmart and toy stores and when that fell through, they did investor runs. The investor runs had names. Pretty much all JABOs are swirls but they did make a significant amount of patches as well.

I'm seeing Vacor.

JABO on all three from what I see.

I agree as well.

Sistersville Alley. The one in the video clip is also Sistersville Alley.

Yes, it's one. Nice find!

Also Rootbeer floats are larger, usually around 13/16" to 15/16".

The first few look Vitro, the last few look very pelt. Pelt might be the right spot for it. I'm flip flopping on it every time I look at it.

Leaning Alley here as well.

Might be an older Vitro. A clear dragon is green and red in clear. Here's an example

Solid colored marbles can be pretty tough to tell the maker on but given the size and style of pattern I'd say chances are best it's Champion.

I see CAC too.

I agree with the yellow one likely being a weird Akro. Bottom might be a Heaton Rotten Robin, and the red may be a older Champion.

I like these like this, subtle St. Marys alley.

Alan is right, look for the doors open or cracked after the dinner rush. Those are where you'll learn. Usually some long-timers will be in there telling stories or trying to figure out a mystery marble or something like that. Ask some questions and mostly just listen. There is always something to be learned, no matter how long you've collected. Definitely bring the bright light and extra batteries in your pocket. A small pocket notepad and pencil are useful to keep notes before you get off on another topic and forget. I was unsure about walking around in a hotel going to other people's rooms the first time I attended one but that apprehension disappeared immediately. What fun the shows are, we just had the Old South show in Valdosta and we had such a good time. Find a crowd with dinner plans and go with them, you will have a blast!

I'm seeing CAC.

I think that's SMM.

X 2 on Vacor.

Yep St. Mary's Alley.

Huh. Last I heard Master was the decided on maker by Ron but not as recent as your conversation Ric. What did he cite as reason to change his mind? Plus Alox had them in their packaging as well, and related documents (that I haven't personally seen) indicating their purchases from Master (which could have been the other big shooters they sold, clear base and multi color). But they did have a relationship with Master. And the same color combos as some if not all the PBs are also seen in master players. Roger Hardy also said they were master, I was present for that conversation. Like we often see, some mysteries keep being mysteries. That pottery company I believe was just about next door to the Ravenswood factory... like maybe a 150 yards away?
