  1. OP marbles are Vitro, Scooter's is MK.
  2. Depending on size, probably Champion.
  3. It does flip flop. Firts photo, top ribbon is red on left, white on right. Bottom ribbon is red on right, white on left.
  4. Oddly covered Pelt Rainbo to me.
  5. cheese

    Alley?

    Ravenswood to me.
  6. There's no such marble to my knowledge, this is ebay. A clown has red and yellow ribbons.
  7. cheese

    And these

    I think the first is an odd MK ( i have a couple like it, smaller, like 9/16") and last is Master.
  8. Oh man, glad you are okay now! Good thing you had the presence of mind to go to the ER!!
  9. I think I have one similar but it's in marble gen-pop, not in a box or tray. I'd have to do some looking to find it. Possibly in dug Pennsboros. I don't have a photo of it on file for sure. And who knows how exact of a match it is, I'm just going by an old memory, and the memory of what a marble looks like can often be a bit different than what it actually looks like. Maybe next time I get a free moment to mess with my collection, I'll see if I can find it. I seem to recall the reddish part being deep trans red with a purplish look and the other ribbon being transparent orange. Could be wrong.
  10. I dug some of the tan base with green ones. Not many but they were there. I agree they are Heaton marbles rebadged after Bogard got the factory. Heaton cateyes look like MKs, Bogard cateyes look like masters and peltiers, for the most part anyway. I've got stacks of those same heaton headers that I took out of the factory office building before it was demolished.
  11. Alley 2x is my vote. Looks like transparent red and orange on white on my screen.
  12. Yeah generally the masters have a 1/3 width of marble seam and Akros more like 1/2 to 2/3 width seam. Some vary, they aren't always predictable. Master usually has one more U shaped and one more V shaped while Akro usually has both thumbnail shaped or one flat and one curved. Master usually has much more striations from pole to pole. Both can have eyelashes. Master usually has earth tones and a large percentage will have brown at least somewhere. The earlier Masters will have wider seams that look more like Akro and colors that look more like Akro. Later Masters are easier to distinguish normally.
  13. Me too. Here's one I had pics of on file
  14. Definitely a Vacor. That's not a pontil. I can't tell what sort of damage that is from the pics, but this is 100% a machine made marble.
  15. I agree with Master, just got a little off from what we're used to seeing.
  16. Me too, bottles in campfires, melted window panes from house fires, etc... I've metal detected several old home sites where the home burned and found deformed marbles. Many of thos old homes were made of heart pine (longleaf pine) which was full of pine tar pitch and burned very hot. I have the remains of a Pressman Big Shot box of Alleys that was in a fire and all that is left is the melted glob of marbles. Very cool piece hdesousa. The ridges underneath look like quarter sawn wood grain. Here's mine, not nearly as old but same concept.
