  1. The glass looked Davis but not if it doesn't glow. It's probably one of the old smaller WV swirl companies but no strong traits to pin it down.
  2. Right, they used no batch glass whatsoever after closing down in the early 40s and reopening after WWII.
  3. Alley, probably Pennsboro. The black cherry is so named because of the dark red black cherry color, which that marble doesn't have.
  4. Red color should not suggest MFC at all. MFC didn't make red. I would say RW on both of them.
  5. If you just want marbles for decorating or in a fish tank or something, give what they're worth for that. As far as collector value, I don't think I see anything I would want at all. Even for free. They might have some learning value if you're wanting examples to learn from.
  6. It has a flaming pattern to me. I'd call it a flame, someone else wouldn't. It's up to you on this one. Some aren't what we'd call flames, some are very obviously flames, and some like this are in the grey area where the two meet.
  7. Those are legit bags of Heatons. Hang on to them.
  8. Many many marbles with these coppery blotches are Ravenswoods. I use this as an identification trait. Not a solid foolproof thing, but a trait. Alley and others can have it too. I think it's copper anti-seize product.
  9. It's an Alley. Not quite what I would call a Carnival though. Sometimes when a particular known color combo was made, there was a period of time before or after it when glass was just starting or ending and this could be one of those, or it could be another attempt at the same colors. The Carnival was made at Pennsboro. Many don't know that a similar marble was also made at St. Marys, and it probably just as rare, but not as bright and flashy. It also has translucence to the green and can have mottling. The marble on the right is JABO IMO.
  10. Something funky happened when this one was made. It didn't form in typical fashion. If the colors and all are true on my screen, I think this is CAC.
  11. What size is it? I think it's Alley or Ravenswood. In pic #3, if you could show the area right at 12:00 a little better it might help determine the maker.
