There has been a lot more information coming to light about Yasuda and other Japanese marble companies lately, thanks to a new collector over there who has been doing some research and legwork. If interested, here are some links: Yasuda factory spotted https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=49502 Duck marbles in Japan https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=49569

Thanks Chad! Good eye on the Toucan ID Dave, not many of them around. For a long time mine and two others were the only ones publicly known, now there are 7 or 8 I think.

Happy Birthday!!

Heaton agate on our Christmas tree. Our tree is different, it's a memory tree. We have ornaments from our travels across the country, different places we've been, ones that were handmade by friends and family, ones that belonged to our ancestors, etc... not just ornaments for a tree. One got added recently... someone at the Heaton agate factory made me a Christmas ornament and buried it. 70 years later I dug it up and cleaned it and put it in it's rightful place

Not IMO. Maybe Ravenswood, Alley, and ??? not sure.

I would think Ravenswood and maybe 3 Alleys.

Here are just a few nice minty ones. I need to use cotton gloves when handling for photos, sometimes my fingers make marks and smudges.

Master on the first two, but Akro on the second two.

Akro here.

Transparent base, white veneer, yellow/orange patch conqueror. I have several just like it.

HA! Maybe not, maybe I should take down the evidence 🤣

Akro, Vitro, Pelt.

I got mine years ago for $15 before they had a name.

I agree, not JABO. Alley, early.

I keep missing this one on Tuesday. Here's a group of Rootbeer floats

The OP marble is a Vacor Orca.

I disagree with the description above from Bill's site (various opaque colors on the outside). The marble should have red to yellow and any shades in between with possibly some white on the outside and clear inside matching the rest of the description from there. They are also larger marbles, around 3/4" give or take. If the outer colors are not red to yellow, then they are not windshields.

A little pink came from all the Alley sites. Always something interesting with marbles!

Dave the ones you posted earlier aren't from the blush line, they are later marbles from St. Mary's. Usually more of a creamier base, often going to grey or tan. Chad I was wrong, I went and looked at my Champs and I do have one. Hard to keep up with my marbles anymore. I'm trying to amass as many marbles as I can so that when I start losing them, it will take a long time before anyone notices lol.

I remember that red cloud moment Chad. I still don't have one. I think they must be a bit harder to find. Here's my contribution for the day, a few hours late EST. Pink on brown Sistersville Alley.
