Dang, nice one! I'd say Sistersville Alley.

Steph, AAM has been upgraded and all Kevin's old traps and hidden glitch stuff has been erased. You are welcome there with open arms, it took the hiring of a professional to get the site debugged from him. The last of him is gone and he is not a member nor is he allowed on the site. What was done nearly a decade ago is under the bridge and AAM now is a totally different place. Different look, and I and my wife and Scott LeGrande are moderators, Chad Kline is the site owner. Many who are regulars here are also regulars there. We should be one big family, no hard feelings and cliques. I send people to this site without reservation. It's about enjoying the hobby and moving it forward. If for some reason you try to join and can't, please let me know and I will make sure it is remedied.

I realize I made it sound like the black and white one is a type of halloween. I don't mean to imply that, but more that it is likely closely related (part of the family). It's a different black than the inkys and the like, different pattern too. I think they were run in close succession. Probably the contents of one of those boxes Ron, I agree.

Ok, so we know the orange and black Alley Halloween. Not common. Then there's the orange, black, and white model... many of us know that one too. But did you know there are other members of the family? There is a previously unknown orange, red, and black, and a black and white also. These are all part of the same find. The orange, white, and black type just sold on ebay for over $200 and is probably as rare as the Carnival. The orange, red, and black is even more rare. So far, these in the following photos are the only known examples. Check these out, all found together, part of the same find just shown in two groups. The last 4 photos being my marbles from this find. Ignore the single foreign shooter.

I'm seeing aventurine and JABOs. I'm betting they are around 3/4" too. Out of round also goes along with that. Definitely not Leightons.

Nice ones Ric! A nice Cosmic Rainbow shooter

Akro prizename or weak special on the first, a nice Alley on the second.

X 2 on Alley.

Tough one. I don't think it's a Heaton. What size is it? Pattern is Ravenswood-esque but not enough to commit.

I agree, Imperial.

Got to find some alligator eyes one of these days Nice

Yep, Akro.

Alley then in my opinion.

I agree, chance of either. Size would help. If it's 21/32" or bigger I'd put it with Alleys. If it's 5/8" or smaller I'd go Ravenswood.

I'm seeing a WV swirl or possible CAC transparent swirl.

A yellow Master brushed patch. Those (yellow) have been very hard to find in my experience.

I agree with goldstone. They often have bands in them of glass that didn't mix in or do whatever was intended. I think these can be both old and newer.

Definitely Vacor.

On some marbles like the JABO jorkscrews, just hitting the smooth rollers could put a cork pattern on them, so I think it's entirely conceivable that hitting the spinner cup would definitely swirl the glass. It has a much rougher surface and grooves to make it catch the glass and twist it.

X 2

Some nice AV marbles shown. Here are a few more. Some Pelts Some Alleys Some Akros

Crazy metallic bruiser! Peltier Toucan. Less than 10 of these known so far. A few years ago it was only 3. Lava flow metallic PPP

There was no rod apparently. What looks like a rod in the one drawing is shown to be one of the grooves cut in the spinner cup in the unaltered drawing.

These are some spinner cups. You can see there were different designs in the cups, just cut outs to give the cup traction, grip to spin the glass. You can see on the base where a set screw made marks in it to hold it in the fixture it's mounted in on the photos Alan shared. Some have holes in the bottom, some don't. I would presume to vent air in order to keep bubbles out and to let the glass fully seat into the cup.
