They are not all 9/16, but Ravenswood probably made more 9/16 size than any other WV swirl maker. Ravenswood made pee wee-9/16-5/8-11/16-and a few 3/4 inch swirls.

$5.00-$10.00

Why do you think my hair is gone ? I still have hazy days, LOL. You have the true thing or purebred. You have the brothers or sisters. You have first cousins. You have 5-6-7 times removed cousins. Depends on how far you want to do the stretch. Like Ric said the value or price should reflect where the marble is in the family tree.

To small for a Vitro Blue Devil. It is either a late Jabo or a Vitro ? That pink sure looks like the bubblegum color glass we used a lot at Jabo. In later 2012 and 2013 after Dave McCullough left, Jabo made more patch type marbles with cut lines that look Vitro.

There are hundreds of different marble bags out there. Most of them are a souvenir bag . Many of those have different Indian's, horses, kids shooting marbles, etc. on them. All the Akro Popeye bags that I know of are stitched around the edges. This one above looks much newer than anything Akro. Probably made up by a collector. I had a T shirt that had the same logo and saying on it.

Same size.

I never told you it would be easy and for sure not simple.

The broken pattern and the sharp tips and white ends cut off square or diving straight down, The combination of all point more to all being Alley. Bottom right is a little more questionable.

I agree the one with the curved or wavy M is original. The straight sided M is repo fake boxes which have been around for many years.

Dave13 your marble is 100% Jabo.

Tough Alley or Ravenswood. I would put the orange one with Alley. The other five could be Ravenswood.

The only orange/white and blue marble in my pictures is the 7/8 inch Akro cork.

That would be my first choice.

Sure are.

It is a Red Raven. The red swirl is just a little more narrow than most. Plus the red is going to orange which some do. There were good numbers of what looked like Red Ravens dug at the Heaton Agate site. They got the name Red Rose. I have trouble separating the two. I have had several of them placed side by side with Red Ravens many times. I know for sure that there were other Ravenswood marbles at the Heaton site. I have dug a few Red Ravens or Red Rose at Heaton for over twenty years. But on the recent digs a couple years ago. One day I also dug a nice Blue Raven. The next day I dug a nice Green Raven. I also dug a old white slag and a blue slag. I also think there were some other Ravenswood marbles found at Heaton other than the Red, Blue or Green Ravens. There were at least six or seven different marble companies marbles dug at Heaton. Including Master, Vitro , Marble King, Akro etc. Red Ravens from Ravenswood- pictures 25+ years old. Blue Blue Ravens Green Ravens Marbles below dug at Heaton Agate site. Akro cork on the right

All Red Blackie All Red

I see two cut lines very well in the first and last three pictures. The first picture shows the second or last cut line laying right over top of the first cut where the white ribbon corks around to the top pole. Hand gathered slag. MFC, Akro, Pelter, German Euro ?

You nailed it.

Ravenswood or Alley. With all the clear I would lean Ravenswood.

Marble King

No initials, no marking of any kind. I have had it several years and lots of people have had a loupe on it.

About the same size, over 2 inches.

Yes Scott but why did he use a hybrid Popeye, rather than a normal two color one ?
