  1. Cannot tell for sure with dark pics.
  2. Tough. Alley Alley very well could be Heaton
  3. It takes lots of time and effort. But it has many different rewards for many years. If you want, you can get there. Never be concerned about asking. I have never stopped asking, because I have never found all the answers.
  4. First one is Alley Bacon. Second is Alley swirl, no bacon. The swirl colors on the first one looks like a strip of bacon. The second one does not look like good bacon. Maybe rare weak or lots of fat bacon. The first marble is 10 or 20 times harder to find than the second one. If I am buying bacon, I want them to look closer to these.
  5. The left is six different ribbons. The right is four different ribbons. The group or both marbles were produce by the Peltier Co.
  6. Akro corkscrews are the easiest machine made marble to identify. This is the first thing I teach kids to identify when doing seminars for kids groups. The color stripe begins on one pole or the top of the marble. It turns and twist steady unbroken in a corkscrew pattern to the opposite pole or bottom of the marble and it never crosses itself. Corks come in all different machine made sizes. Corks can be two colors or three or four or five or six. You can collect them a lifetime and never get them all. Other companies made a few accidental corkscrews. Akro was the only company to produce corkscrews as standard steady production.
  7. No av- no glow- wrong green - no Fizz. This is why they have a name. They are special, limited numbers, not easy to find, and valuable. You may never find one in the wild, odds against it. You might find one for sale at a show, ebay or facebook. Maybe two or three per year. This is why they are valuable.
  8. It can be labeled anything. Know what you are buying. Lots of swamp out there for sale, some at cheap prices. But resale is not the best.
  9. There is a long post just below that is describing Peltier Green Fizz with several pictures. I just bumped the FIZZ post up near the top.
  10. Could be one of several companies. Probably Jabo. Old and new current marbles can glow under black light.
  11. wvrons

    Vitro

    Du Lite is old and two colors. Tri Lite is old and three or more colors. Superior always have yellow and red/orange ribbons plus either a blue, brown or green ribbon. I am not sure yours is old enough for a Tri Lite.
  12. Nice group of shifter knobs, and steering wheel knobs. Are the small ones turn signal knobs ? Do they have the hole or threaded inserts ?
  13. The Davis marbles with the dirty white base glass is made from a certain Vitrolite glass which glows bright. Davis white & orange swirls.
