I have been adding to this thread with different Heaton types for a couple years now. I plan to continue to as I find more types and variations. There are 3 pages, go to page 3 for the shots of the ones I've documented from the digs.

I got so busy for a bit after I posted that last post that I completely forgot to come back and finish it up. Being self employed with 2 different ventures going at the same time gets hairy sometimes. Forgive me, but better late than never I guess. I don't have a fancy background to juice this one up (pun intended), but these were called blueberry grapes. A lot of these are in champion collections but Heaton made them, or at least some of them. There were many halves found at the loading dock where we know the night shift rolled hot barrels of marbles out at night and they cooled too quickly and were dumped. I will try to get pics of the last few named ones soon.

Just a few more. Trying to get a photo documentation of every type I can, other than the regular common one color swirls.

Some Pennsboros from the same time period, a few rare halloween varieties in the bunch.

Thanks Chad! Time to drop a few more Alley pics. Some from Sistersville, Pennsboro, and St. Mary's in this group.

Holy cow, great job so far! Much better. Good luck finding enough to fill the box. I'll keep this in mind if I find any to donate to the cause.

Great memories Ron!! Who found the Red Baron?! I took a blackberry half and had it encased in 14kt gold for Valerie, since that is her favorite Heaton and her name.

No, not at all. That is the only one to come into my possession. Since I'm making a reply, might as well add another Vitro. An oddball tiger eye with black.

Nice one for sure Chad! Obviously we are completely disregarding the "Wednesday" part of this thread

Seems like collectors either love em or hate em. I happen to love em. Here are two more just because:

I HAVE to find a solar flare one of these days! Beautiful! My contribution for today

My lap dog is a Doberman Pinscher.

Looks like it could be a Cairo, if there's any chance it came from the US.

Here's a couple more. An interesting Tiger Eye and a Blue Devil.

The only ones I can think of that I haven't seen a RWB from in a machine made is Davis and Alox. And they may have, I just don't recall seeing any. Another:

Super example with that CAC Ric!

There's a RWB Heaton on the right side here, stuck in some concrete removed from the Heaton Agate factory.

The craziest bullseye I've ever seen. The patch looks like an opal or some gemstone.

Pretty good score of swirls I recently got.
