Could be but the color end looks very pointed. Akro made marbles as standard production up to one inch. Most likely a 7/8 or one inch machine or set of rollers. They produced marbles at 1 and 1 /8 inch and 1 1/4 inch but they are oversize for the machine. Most all of those will be out of round, creases or roll marks and or orange peel surface. The same goes for Alley marbles. You can go up one size, or down one size and still control the final marbles. But go more than one size away from the actual roll groove size and problems will always happen. You can produce pee wee 1/2 inch or less, marbles from a 5/8 inch machine with a expert operator. But even then you will lose 50 to 70% of what is made. Because they will have bad roll marks, heavy orange peel, out of round, odd shaped, stuck together, fractured, etc. marbles.

I see Ravenswood. How I do remember a couple long years helping Larry with the books. Just like all marble books, none are 100% correct. Things change even as the books are being printed. Publishers leave important lines out due to space. It takes great care to keep the correct marbles and identifications together correctly. I have proof read more than one before printing and then the printer changes something. As I say many times, it is a long list of why marble books are not all correct. But they are much needed and I appreciate every author who has took the challenge of doing one. Just some of the reasons why I will never do it. They make very good money from the books. Some people would be amazed at the profit. But what is a thousand or more big headaches for a year or years, worth ?

Jabo classics. The pink was Beremuse(spelling wrong)cullet from the 100 year old Fenton Art Glass Co. Fenton made this glowing glass in white, pink, yellow and green colors. Sometimes it had two of those colors. This scrap glass, broke, odd shaped, rejects, was delivered to Jabo in a dump truck about 1- 2 tons at a time. Fenton like Jabo is now closed out of business. Fenton was a major supplier along with Vitrolite for all WV machine made marbles companies. The Gabbert cullet company of Williamstown WV, near the Fenton glass factory, was the cullet supplier for three generations. I worked at Fenton Art Glass back in 1971. Fenton was at Williamstown WV about 15 miles south and across the OH river from Jabo at Reno OH.

I remember those and that lutz. Like them or not, there were some killer marbles made at Jabo from 2008 until it closed. Many people gained a lot of marble knowledge while all that happened.

I see the blue base. Plus I see it as CAC.

I am sure there is.

Yes . Made very similar to the Paul Bunyan marbles. If they were made by Akro or Master, they are very near this one. But not Paul Bunyan colors. There are lots of single color Akros that bleed like this and this size. Both color ends and eyelashes fit Akro. If the color ends or cuts had more of, or a deeper inward curve on one end and more to a outward point on the other end. I would have said Master or Imperial.

Master here.

More like a hand gather CAC.

I would say Akro.

The Megan Kasmar was not done by the Tribute group. It was done by her father Russ Kasmar.

It got beat up in the playground.

No a blue base with this red and tan will take Alley away. Once I tilted my screen back I see a light blue base.

All the pictures are to far away and glare on the cut lines for me to make a call.

I agree 1910 ?

Alley- Ravenswood- large handmades, plus any vintage marble.

Vitro for sure.

Very first question does it glow bright under black light ?

Possible Akro or Vitro, not many for sure traits to go with.

Superman and almost or wanna be lifesaver. A good lifesaver will have more colors. How many companies have marbles named Superman ? Some have more than one marble named Superman. What company was the first to have a marble named Superman. Actual Superman that I saw on tv today. Clothes are blue base with red and yellow.

It would be very rare to be batch glass. It is more likely Champion with the seedy(bubbles)glass.

I agree older Jabo classic.

I think it may fall into the Alley Strawberry Shortcake. White base with red to pink swirls with light brown or tan. Strawberry shortcake colors..

He was in business longer than any of the other US swirl makers. He ran more machines each day than the other swirl makers. Making millions per week. A few extra years adds up. He made more US machine made swirl marbles than anyone else ever. No other US company comes close or near the numbers of machine made swirls produced by L.E. Alley. None of them even one half or one quarter of what Alley produced. So many of the US machine made swirl marbles will be Alleys. There are reasons for most things.
