Great marbles. I have been after one of the hand-ground ones for a very long time. It seems like the older I get the further I gravitate towards non-glass marbles.

This week's find in a group of crockery marbles.  "Blood alleys", at one time the most prized marble for shooting.  About 9/16" (15 mm) perfectly spherical, so machine ground.  I'm sure they've been discussed here, but I can't find the topic.

I just seen the discussion on "Blood alleys" as well. Can't remember where either, some nice "Destroyers" you have there Hansel.

Hansel are you the blood alley Whisperer?

Those must have been ground in a mill a  very long time ago.

Finally a decent score for me…found a antique mall and 1 stall actually specialized in marbles. Guy def knew his handmades but his American Mib prices were quite fair and in these cases low, gotta head back soon! Always more satisfying  in the wild than auctions…the sparkler is a nice 22mm with oxblood, 3 CAC, blue is striped opaque, 2 prize name, 2 vitro one with horsehair, 1 Pelt and 1 unidentified Alley!

Cool score..👍

Thanks, Tommy. We haven’t been to the store where I found the marbles in 6+ years. We moved in 2017 to the Kitsap Peninsula. Cobweb antiques in Monroe, WA. They are downsizing after 50 years, lot of great buys.
