It would probably fit in pretty well with them.

Heaton on both.

Yeah that site has a lot of incorrect IDed marbles. They aren't all Champions either. A guy named Bill takes the photos from facebook and puts them on his site. A lot of my photos are on there too. I didn't know, but even the home page photo is part of my alley keeper box. Take what you see there with a grain of salt. Lots of nice pics but IDs there are not reliable. I agree with Alley on the OP marbles.

Amazing box! I hope you find the missing one.

Looks Heaton to me.

A weird messed up helmet variation is what I had in mind too. They did this color combo with helmets. If you had a video where a tiger eye starts to morph into a black faced helmet, this marble would be what appears at the halfway point lol.

It really could be. Strange flat seam if it is.

Yeah that thought crossed my mind at first reaction too.

Older trilite era, neat with the black.

The way I understand them and have always called them FWIW is this: Akro Blueblood here Akro blue oxblood here And anything else is just blue and oxblood as adjectives to describe, not names. Correct me if I'm wrong. Not my pics. Also here is a description I found from AAM here https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?t=21539

Nice Ravenswood.

Contemp.

Alley here.

I'm with Cairo.

same I kept hitting submit reply but it showed my reply and the submit button, so I hit it again thinking it didn't take, and then again. I backed out and behold, It posted over and over again lol.

Master actually has the comet 👍

I dug steady for two days straight from daylight to dark. I bet I dug a half a million marbles out of that hole. Maybe more, shoveling them into many other diggers buckets. David Tamulevich had the hole started and dug it until he had enough and I took over. The hole was only big enough for one until it got so deep it caved in, then we got another person in there. I was happily tired, blew out my blue jeans, dirty, and hungry. Probably dehydrated too, I wouldn't stop to eat or drink much. That's time wasted when you're on marble factory dirt. Every now and then I'd get out of the hole and check on my dogs (I pulled my camper to the site because I had my dogs and nobody to take care of them while we were in WV) and I'd dump some buckets into the big box in the back of my truck you see in Ron's pics, get a bottled water, and get back to the hole. Someone else would dig it while I did that but by the time I got back they usually had enough and was ready for me to jump back in lol. I always said I don't like to operate a shovel but in that case I loved every minute of it.

That's me in the hole digging out the Heatons... one of the best days of my life

Nice grab, It's one. Should be somewhere around 7/8".

The last group photo is almost all heatons. The group of 4 similar ones on the previous page also are.

I'd have it with my pelt rainbos FWIW. Got twisted up.

I agree, the MCS looking one is the heaton like we discussed before in the thread Neo linked to. Also several of the other swirls are Heatons.

Lol Chad The size is also right for a DI, and you can see the crease between the two ingots.
