Alley thumb pot above.

Not the Heaton. More like Jabo.

hey look Jabo to me.

Akro Milky oxblood Alley swirl from St. Marys site. No oxblood. Vitro

I would guess Ravenswood.

Type 3 Tiger eye.

Middle is Alley.

I don't know if the green is a plus or minus ?

First one and probably the second, with the light green. Bot made the same. Both have the orange with black on clear base.

Master Tiger Eye.

Glass coefficient . A measure of some property or characteristic, expansion.

Akro Crow

Is it a corkscrew ? Looks like a swirl here.

Clear, yellow and orange. Chick Pea on the right.

Vitro. But not a Pea family. They are all 11/16 or 3/4 inch size, Sweet Pea-Black Eyed Pea and Chick Pea.

Akro graphite Spinner Cup. I have seen a few of these from other diggers and what the Hardy's have. Pictured above is this one with a 5/8 inch marble. Which would not fall through the bottom. The majority that I have seen are this size. I have only seen a couple larger ones. The marble would have to be a pee wee to fall through the hole in the bottom of this spinner cup. How many pee wee corkscrews do you have ?

2012 it seems like two years ago. So many great times and memories. Wising you all the best Edna.

I am legal. It has been Wednesday here for one hour and ten minutes.

The last two are probably Jabo's. Akro made about as many marbles with a V pattern as Vitro did. Also many older Jabo classics have the V pattern, or like a U or closed V or U making the Jabo butt crack. It is from a short glass stream from the furnace to the shear. The stream does not have time to twist and it just folds over on its self as it is cut and makes the V or U shape. Jabo had all the old 1930's-1940's-1950's Vitro marble machines. But the machine just makes the marble round. The marble pattern happens up stream before the marble machine. Which is the rolls that make the hot elongated glob round. Vitro made patch and ribbon marbles. Jabo's main production was swirl marbles. Both patch and ribbon or swirls were produced on the same Vitro machines of several different sizes.

Ravenswood.

MFC for me.

I see no third party or certified, licensed grading or appraisal for marbles in my lifetime. Probably not in the next 25 years or maybe more.
