Heaton made loads with Oxblood horsehair for sure. The 11/16" size is a stretch for Heaton though, but possible. 21/32" was about the biggest their normal production ever was. Some few oddball larger ones came off the rollers but usually with cold rolls and other problems. It does look like Heaton could be the maker though.

My best "pairs of Heatons" display. Some of these are the only two I found. I have some that only one were found, so those are in a different case. I think all the named types are shown in these pics though except the razzle dazzle. Some of these have oxblood, some are loaded with aventurine, and some with both!

You're on the right track with foreign akroorka, Wales Pincher. A nicer quality one. Some are nicer and they also seem to be the bigger ones (as shown here) and I think older than the usual ones.

Thank you! Been working with a new camera for a couple months and finally getting some juice out of it.

Thanks, that's rare Cairo Neon cullet and marble. I dug it at Cairo earlier this year. It does look like it glows but doesn't.

Yeah that's one of mine. I don't know of any Cairos close to the ones being discussed either. I'd say 95% of the lavender-purple and white swirls you'll see will be Alley. Maybe more. Alley used purple at Sistersville, Pennsboro, and St. Mary's. Here are a couple photos of some purples from Cairo. Note the simple plain swirl, no fancy stuff. Cairos don't swirl around as much as Alleys in general.

I don't know of any Heatons with this color combo. Not that there couldn't be. These Alleys are prolific and range in size from peewee to shooter and larger. The base can range from having lots to little clear, white, tan, grey, mixtures of those, some green or blue, etc...

All. The base on these can vary a lot. In color and in transparency.

St. Mary's Alleys.

Modern Asian.

All machine made marbles were ingots.... ? If you mean double ingot, no, especially at that size. Might be a JABO classic.

It doesn't look new in that pic. I'd say both Ravenswoods by that.

No, it's not Heaton for sure. If it's old, I'd say Alley but something looks newer about it to me.

Correct.

Some Alley goodness for WV Wednesday. A shooter dusted with AV, a group of blush line stuff, an abalone, and metallic with drizzle

The green fizz will light up like a full moon with UV light. Also they are usually bigger than 5/8" and are 6 ribbons. 4 ribbons of white and 2 of antifreeze green in a very clear bubbly base. Here's mine:

Ok, scratch that then for Davis. On my screen it looked like the UV vitrolite base. Bottom one could maybe be JABO but without glowing base glass I am having a hard time figuring out who they might have come from.

Master sunburst.

I'm with Ravenswood on the 1st. Not sure on the 2nd.

Hit them with a UV light. I bet they glow. Possibly Davis.

Sistersville Alley for sure.
