Here's a group shot of some nice alleys I took a good while back.

Here's a group shot of some nice ones

Called a Smoky Blue

Now here's something interesting. I've never seen an oxblood rainbo. I've seen oxblood with other colors (usually teal green or blue), but never just oxblood on white on a rainbo. Anyone else have one?

I don't know if John posted a sistersville that looks like that but the one I posted d.oes somewhat.. is that the one you're talking about? A few of us thought it was Alley and Ron agreed it was a "possible Sistersville Alley". No-one offered an ID other than Alley and Alley was waht I originally thought before asking others for their opinions, so I went with it.

I'll try to fix that Steph. I moved some photos around into different folders and it messed up the links. Many pics are missing of mine in that thread and others. Regarding your alley/ravenswood John, I saw Ron ID it as Alley and I respect his analysis of the marble much more than my own, and alleys can look a lot like ravenswoods and visa-versa. I don't think anyone would be able to 100% prove it's an alley or ravenswood and not the other.

I wondered about ravenswood for that one too when I saw it on another board. Here are a few that I've made nicer pictures of.

Nice Pelts! deleted bad photobucket link

CAC was my first thought too. Pretty sure they are CACs.

I collect arrowheads, old coins and cool stuff found while metal detecting. I have a stamp collection but I stopped collecting back when they started making so many different stamps every year that nobody could keep up with them. I used to collect minerals, matchbooks, matchbox and hotwheels, star wars stuff, coins, old fishing lures, boy scout memorabilia, antique automobile advertisements, old toys and anything else I could find. I had to narrow it down a bit and focus on a few things I really like and let the rest go.

Maybe they're masters, I am not the end all authority for sure. They really do look like Master, especially the group pictures. Honestly, if they weren't in the context that they are and they were in a box full of U.S. marbles I wouldn't have hesitated to put them in the master box. The knowing that these were found overseas puts them under more scutiny than normal. Imperial did make (distribute anyway) some that look very much like masters. I can't tell for sure if glass is new or old, but new marbles do have a certain look. It might not always be the right feeling but what can I say?

Me too. They look very close to masters but the glass looks new.

New day, new perspective. I think lower left is Imperial and the two middle ones are odd compared to US marbles.

I wouldn't think Imperial for any of them. If I didn't know these weren't from the US, I would have said: Pelt or vitro, Akro, Vitro Master, Akro, Master. Knowing that I am not completely familiar with foreign marbles and that these weren't found here, it adds a little doubt to my IDs but they look US to me.

I agree. That is a really nice CAC!!

Tri lite with Aventurine Few nicer ones

Someone asked me for some Vitro pictures, so I got some out and took some pics. Figured I'd put them here too if you want them. Here are a few of my vitros: Phantom Conquerors Conquerors Tri Lites and similar Victorys Fancy and Exotic Conquerors Tiger Eyes, Whities, etc... Helmets Shooters Purple veneered Conqueror types Opalescent

Wow, some dream stuff here!

Wow, nice ones!

I still think this is a bit newer than 1929. The printing, box, and graphics look newer to me. The addition of the picture with cateyes by hdesousa gives me more confidence to guess that the transitionals are probably from the 1940s-1950s or so. I suspect this company made these transitionals all the way up until they figured out how to make cateyes.

Ravenswood is what came to mymind as well fwiw.

1 and 2 are Vacor, 3 is Imperial.

Me three. Of the "lady" family I think.

Has a pincher look to me. Not sure I ever saw a pincher with oxblood though.
