Jabo Jabo Maybe MK.

Vitro All Red patch Akro patch Marble King Rainbow Vitro Conqueror Some of the most common marbles each of these companies made.

I would think it is Peltier. I am confused, if it predates coming from Ottawa. Where and when was it made ?

These work great, but takes a lot of time. The small motors were hard to find for a while. If you are going to do one inch and larger marbles like big handmades. You will need much larger motors. With the large marbles these small motors will heat up and die. Another thing to be careful of is cross contamination. If using a course grit and change to medium or fine grit. If everything is not cleaned very well. If just a few pieces of the course grit get carried over whlie doing medium grit. It will be like going right back with the course grit. The sure way is to have three polishers. One always for the course, one for medium and one for final polish. These will clean a lot of marbles up well on just final polish with the wood dowels and very fine like powder polish compounds. For course grinding, deep chips, deep scratches, us pipe fittings and course grinding compound. For medium shallow hips, etc. use plastic pipe fittings and medium grit. For final polish use wood dowel rods and very fine polish grit. The final polish removes almost no glass, Just smooths it very slick. Each stage can take ten to twenty minutes per marble. If not adjusted correct for each marble. The marbles can fly out hard. Just like with a marble machine rolls. The marble has to spin in all different directions constant(always)to stay round.

They are not ash trays. They were used as ash trays in bars but not ash trays. They are Jewel Trays. Many have that stamped on the back with the patent. They were designed by Vitro owner Art FIsher. He ate out a lot and the tip he left was usually some pieces of Vitro jewelry, ear rings, necklace, etc. which contained Vitro marbles. So he decided the ladies need some type of tray to hold their jewelry, when they took it off at night. So he designed and made the Vitro Fisher Jewel Trays. They are in two sizes the small one about 3 1/2 inches and the large ones at about 6 inches. They can be smooth or hammered brass or chrome. They can have all the same marbles or some have different marbles all the way around. The more rare one is the small one that is chrome and it contains different opaque solid color marbles around the outside. I had a original box set of five jewel trays, but I sold it. The Worlds Fair jewel trays are always higher price. The normal brass 3 1/2 inch trays are usually about $30-$35.00, with helmets $75.00- $100.00. The large trays are usually about $125.00-$150.00. The worlds fair trays are usually about $50.00-$65.00. Worlds Fair tray with the box $300.00. Small chrome tray with solid color game marbles $150.00 . At one time I had over 200 small trays and 25 large trays. These are called Fisher Jewel Trays.

I sure wanted to say Alley.

Maybe Jabo ?

Peltier for me.

I am going to lean to Marble King. Nice one Vitro or MK .

Alley or Champion 50/50 chance.

Alley

All Jabos. Routine for Ebay.

Helmets always have white with a colored stripe (other than the white) near the center of the white, and a transparent colored face. The helmet is always white, the face is colored transparent, and a colored stripe in across the center of the helmet. If the helmet is colored (not white) and not stripe, it is a Akro patch. Vitro Helmets- Looks like a football helmet with a colored stripe back the center of the helmet and a colored transparent face.

The white with red is a Vitro Whitie.

I agree white base with blue ribbon around the middle and a orange patch on one pole or side. .

Alley Pistachio is a green base that will vary some. The green glows and with black swirl or flames. Pistachio has no red . The Pistachio's were made at Sistersville and Pennsboro locations. Good chance the marble above is from Sistersville. Alley Pistcahio. All glow bright.

I agree Heaton.

A 15/16 CAC any where near this would have been several hundred dollars or more. Any 15/16 CAC swirl is very rare. I have collected over 25 years and only seen two CAC swirls any where near that size.

Maybe a light or diet Lemonade ?

Common later St. Marys Alley.

The late Ed Parsons and myself partnered up and bought a original 25lb. case box never opened that was from Marble King St.Marys WV. it was sealed and shipped but never opened. At a WV show we flipped a coin to see who got to cut the seal and open the flaps. Ed won the flip. We both envisioned and least one or two bags with a watermelon in them. Ed cut open the box and pulled out the top layer of bags. They were all plastic bags with the yellow Nestle Quik headers. I pulled out the next layer of bags. Every bag in the box was the exact same. Plus every bag had the same exact variety of MK marbles. Of course no watermelon. Each bag contained one each, cub scout, girl scout, bumblebee, red/white rainbow, blue/white rainbow, brown/white rainbow, etc. all very common MK from the original St.Marys factory. I had heard that Roger Howdyshell was very strict on his packaging. That proved it. Most companies did not get that accurate of what was in each bag or a entire case. Vitro even had a Tiger Eye in a Blackies bag and many other odd marbles that did not match the bag header. I guess if one bag in that MK case would have contained a watermelon, Every bag in that case would have had a watermelon. I have seen three original MK bags with watermelons in them. But not in this case.

More Vitro bags.
