Agreed on Master

I also said before that the fizz will have a UV base, only because all I've seen did. But does that mean if one comes along that doesn't glow, it's not a fizz when everything else matches? Only the person who named it can answer that I guess. A year or two ago a large batch of Alley skeletons came up with a bunch of halloween types. All of them glowed. So people who got them began saying the skeletons must glow, but I happen to know of three sure-shot boxes with halloween varieties including skeletons and only one of each skeletons in each box glows, the rest don't. Same marble all the way around. Under regular light you can't see any difference. So does that mean some are skeletons and some are not, or does that mean the ones examined by one or two people glowed and they were unaware of some that didn't?

Marboman, not a fizz. The base should be clear on a fizz. Rockgardenplants, that's a fizz in my book. It just proves that not all glow. It has every other hallmark, even the size. The black light wasn't even invented yet when that marble was made, maybe the bulk of the fizz marbles came out with UV reactive glass but some of the glass near the beginning or end of the run wasn't reactive? The factory workers wouldn't have known, they had no black lights. The size is right, it has the bubbles, it has the antifreeze green, and it has the correct construction. It's a fizz and if it doesn't glow then I'd say not all green fizzes glow. If you have two marbles that are identical and made by the same company around the same time but one glows and the other doesn't, does that mean they can't have the same name? I know of several named types where some glow and some don't. Still they retain the name. Just my opinion on it but if it was in my collection it would be a fizz.

But some beautiful marbles came from that run anyway, here are some. See those oxbloods on clear glass? That was white glass when it got shoveled in. All the base glass on these was white and yellow glass when it went into the tank.

It's an egg for sure.

I agree 100% with Ron. These marbles you see in this pic were supposed to be a white base. Nope, the white base glass from the furnace got too hot, turned clear, and continued to get too hot and turned dark trans red, then almost black like coca-cola. I just got home from this run and witnessed it.

Definitely not Pelt. The Jacksons don't normally have the hooks like I see here. The ribbon looks a bit like jackson otherwise but I think maybe this is an early Alley. Mainly by pattern but also by size.

I agree the marble on Ebay is a green fizz. They do have clear base with bubbles that glows, antifreeze green ribbons which may or may not have AV, and the white. The white does tend to move like a sheet in the base but can fan out on the surface. Here's mine.

I missed the .73 part, and I agree, too big to be likely but its possible. I don't know who made it, it has minimal characteristics.

I see Vacor.

I don't see the blue.

Looks new and foreign.

The OP marble is a swirl. I'd put it with Ravenswood.

I'd say oxblood swirl/horsehair swirl.

Agreed, Sistersville Alley.

I agree, oxblood and JABO.

Alley.

I'm thinking you are confusing seams with folds. This is a swirl from Alley.

Right, I said 3/4" range because some off a 3/4" machine will be a little over and a little under.

Champ didn't have a machine to make shooters. They made nothing bigger than the new old fashioneds in the 3/4" range, and none even that big before or after that run. That info comes from Dave McCullough and 2 different factory workers.

My word, looks like a whole family of land and seas, bees, even maybe a poison bee? Lots of Germans, great score!!

I'm with Vacor. Champion didn't make them in shooter size other than the new Old Fashioneds as far as I know, and even those didn't get this big.

Champion here.

A few shortcakes
