Bag of Vitros, and paddle ball, but missing the paddle. I wonder if the wood paddle was also marked Tom Sawyer ?

I would say Vitro for both.

Looks Alley to me.

No doubt for sure Jabo.

Aquamilk. It is a Buttermilk with a different color blue. If it has the buttermilk yellow ? I cannot be sure with the pictures. Buttermilk and Aquamilk. The dark blue are the original Buttermilk named by Vitro employees. The Aquamilk was named by collectors because of the different lighter blue. But they all need the right yellow, the blue, the red with white. They can be from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch size. The larger ones can swirl.

It does not look yellow enough to me for a Lemonade. I would call it a Silver oxblood. A Akro Silver Oxblood has a thick translucent light gray base with white and oxblood. Lemonade oxblood.

I think they are newer Marble Kings.

Wow nice marbles. Somebody is into the money. The green one above is over $1000.00 now.

Over 25 years and I have never owned a Melon Girl yet. Never even had a chance to buy one.

They put some of the larger Tiger Eyes in their box/bag sets.

There is a little more simple method for sorting the Vitro Tiger Eye Types. There are a few exceptions. Like most things marbles. We have also found a few that do not fit into the type 1-2-3 or 4. So I guess they might be type 5 & 6. Chuck Brandstetter worked on getting these different types into groups for over a year. We spent a lot of time discussing Tiger Eyes. But I come up with a quick easy way for myself separating the four types. It all has to do with the color white. Type one = one white pole or side. Type two = no white. Type three = white band around the center or middle. Type four = opaque white base. The only Tiger Eye with white opaque base. Try this and it will be accurate the majority of the time. We started with this and then broke it down to even more detailed. Even charted the color combinations and percentages of which color combinations were found most often and what color combos were more rare. Most common to more rare. Type one Type three Type four Type two Type two and four were very close. But type two was seen the least.

Correct Williams third one is a Parakeet or small Parrott. Correct Type two has no white.

100% Jabo.

Center nice Type Two. No white.

Happy Birthday. Hope you find that Akro Grandad pot.

Not CAC at 15/16. It has to be Alley if that large. Those swirl traits are a match for CAC. That 4th picture with the snake curve and snake head at the end, and that single curved sharp tip flame. I have seen on many CAC. But so many Alley and CAC are so close. Almost as close as Alley and Ravenswood. I have had a few hundred 15/16 blue base and yellow Alleys but none with a swirl pattern like this. For sure not any Peltier.

1980's Vitros.

Most likely Champions.

I don't think it is a Opal.

Those are from the 1980's when Dave McCullough was copying Ravenswoods. They are often sold as Ravenswoods. You are missing the blue ones.

I would put it with Vitro Easter Egg.

1931 Sistersville Alley. I can date the bag by the small hole size. Three partners together at Sistersville WV for one year. Alley made the marbles. Berry Pink had the patent on the bag. Rosenthal was the jobber who filled the bags. All in the same location at Sistersville WV in 1931. The yellow base with red/orange is probably the most produced marbles at Sistersville. If you have a yellow base red/orange swirl or flame. You have about 85% chance that it is Alley. About 10% chance of CAC. About 5% chance of some other maker. But no Ravenswoods or not many Champions near this. They are very common at every show, especially the swirls. The flames get a little more attention and money. They can go from a weak swirl to a busy swirl and nice flames.

Looks foreign to the US for me. Probably Asia or Japan.
