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.

Heatons are good for a lot of "C"s, "G"s, and "D"s. Here is one with oxblood, no single pic on file but it's the top middle view. A "G".

Thanks! Yes, I've been calling this one "lava flow" and made a photo to match a few years ago.

May have been in a house fire. I've found ones at old house sites with weird surfaces like this.

I agree with Alley. No ox though.

Lots of "advertising" bags too. Bags that say "Tydol" and "Wendy's" and "Texaco" and that sort of thing... fresh of the printer. Sold as vintage to unsuspecting buyers. Fake Comic marbles, fake logo marbles, modern sulphides, and so-on. Thankfully most are easily recognized with a little bit of study and familiarization right here on actual marble forums. The best places to learn about marbles on the internet. (Better is face to face hands -on).

Thank you! It was a gift marble to boot!
