Thanks! Still room for improvement on mine but they work okay. I wish my camera had an actual focus instead of auto focus so I could get them just a little sharper.

A few. Rich royal blue aventurine in the yellow/blue comet.
-
Some of those are oysters. I don't think any are Voodoos best I can tell.

Oxblood August, It kind-of rhymes.
cheese replied to akroorka's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Wow, loving the pics, especially the MFCs from the building and the paper Bill posted. Great stuff! Akro is the go-to folder for oxbloods, so I'll start there. -

cheese replied to Gladys's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Alley and Ravenswood both made these and they can be hard to distinguish one from the other but this group appears to be Alleys. -
Rare box full of rare marbles. I think they are all Davis. Great box!
-
Nice odd box Ric! Davis? I don't recall seeing this box before.
-
Yeah pink is pretty uncommon for all the old makers.

Yes, good job making the match! You found one. Was this in a lot of Heatons or just a lot of random old marbles?

Yes, 5/8". Don't worry, I got it from a Vitro collector who was also fooled. Once they found out it wasn't a Vitro, they didn't want it anymore It happens to the best of us.

I am convinced they were made by Master. I have found some smaller masters in the exact same color combinations as the Paul Bunyans. When I met Roger Hardy, there was a similar conversation and he also said Master made them. Funny how I can remember that conversation but I can't remember what my wife told me to get at the store once I get there.

Nice Chad, that last one I believe is actually a wales pincher. Here's one of mine: And to add to the Vitro lover's theme, how about some company paperwork signed by the man himself:

No, those appear to be Vacors.

I'm not sure, maybe some of those are black cherries. There are Heatons that are very close to a black cherry but the glass on the cherry is better looking and the lines are well defined. The ones in the lower row definitely are not. I do see a volcano in the group though.

Vitro wasn't making all-reds before the war, but they were making marbles with red on one pole or a red ribbon on one side. Trilites were one of those types and they did usually have a lot better red on them. The colors on all the machine made marbles got weaker and cheaper as time went by. The war was pretty much the turning point for that.

A few different groups

Killer Alley Marboman! A Halloween from Alley Pennsboro.
-
2 Alleys and a JABO.

Marboman and Massmarbler, those are not snotties. The snotty has a yuck brown/tan/yellow opaque ribbon in transparent colorless base glass. Any other color transparent swirl is something else as far as I know.
