Does the 7up transparent green base also have orange ribbons ? What fits the Pelt submarine family ? What are the requirements for the Pelt submarine ? According to this post there is some confusion .

For me the Pelt Submarine is a transparent blue base with orange ribbons.

Alley I have always like the odd drizzels. I could post a hundred or more. No two of them alike.

Not sure it is oxblood.

More than average, but not that rare.

Peltier feathered slag. Most colors in nm+ to mint condition are usually about $15.00-$20.00 each. Value also depends on the amount of flame or feather tips and if coverage on one side or two sides.

I think they are all Champion. Except maybe the red/orange one. The last picture, the red/orange looks like Vitro cut line. The red/orange color is a good if not exact match for the elusive Vitro Tomato. But the majority I know of are 5/8 to 7/8 size. I have never seen a 1/2 inch Vitro tomato. These all look like normal 9/16 to 5/8 size Champions. At 1/2 inch they are all pee wees, and very small.

Two Jabo's.

Vitro All Red. One of the most common Vitro marbles produced. Produced for about forty years. Each one is opaque white base always with one red patch and another patch of a color other than red.

Not 1950-60's. All newer marbles. A fantasy bag, there are hundreds of different ones out there. I doubt that the bag was cellophane. Original packaged marbles in old cellophane bags are rare. Most of them are stiff and brittle and break like thin glass. Plus Coke never packaged any marbles in a bottle hanger cellophane bag. Most of the Coke bagged marbles are not original. One key for original plastic bagged marbles, is the heat sealed seam down the center on the back side of the bag. If the plastic bag does not have this seam, be cautious. It is easy to make rust on the staples.

I saw more oxblood than ever before at Heaton. We also discovered that Heaton had a few clear base and green/white swirls that contain aventurine.

Heaton marbles. A few recent dug ones, just hosed off, no final cleaning. Several hours of cleaning ahead for everyone there.

The Heaton Agate marble factory in Cairo WV has a new owner. The vintage marble factory building has been demolished completely. The new owner allowed some of the past marbles to be saved for the future . On June 1, 2019 sixteen diggers from five different states were allowed to dig from daylight until dark. At daylight the tools and buckets came out of the vehicles. Then the groundhogs began digging their holes. Some stayed until noon and 1pm, some stayed for 14 hours straight. Everyone left with marbles. I did see four or five Heaton marbles which I had not seen before. We found marbles from several different companies. Master, Vitro, Ravenswood, Akro and Marble King. But 98% or more were Heaton swirls, cat eyes and Bogard cat eyes. Many Thanks to the new owner for allowing this to happen. Lots of sweat, sore backs and knees. But a great day for all.

You are not going to see one of those Orange - Crush box sets in many collections. Also nice rubber stamp.

Thin ribbon of brown.

Cairo or Champion, not 100% sure which.

Top left is Alley swirl from the St.Marys WV location. Top right is Vitro Agate from Parkersburg WV. Might be a Vitro Opal if backlit ? Bottom one looks like possible misshapen WV swirl. Cannot see enough to determine which maker.

The two swirls are Alley Agate.
