PittsburghMarbles Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Not technically a score as I didn’t buy these, but they’re from a dig I was a part of at the Cairo Factory in Oct. and 4 for sure Davis marbles from Cairo. Still have two buckets to clean, and am running out room for marbles. Keep having to put more antique bottles and glass away until I buy more shelves, but am limited with space that’s safe from two dogs and an evil cat who loves to jump on shelves and bat marbles and glass…. I guess I’ll have to buy some expensive glass cases next. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghMarbles Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 As an aside, just got this 1932 ad off of feebay of master marbles. I’ve got a bunch of these from 1920s and 30s magazines/advertisements to departments stores like Woolworths etc. I frame them and they display really well. The most common adverts seem to be German handmades from pre 1925, then Akros in the 20s and 30s and then Masters from the 30s. I don’t really care about adverts from post 30s. I’ve yet to find advertisements for alley, CAC, and or anyone else from the 30s. I know they exist or at least am sure they exist somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice advertisements - not only do they look cool framed, they're a great source of information for naming, dating, etc. You may look a long while to find Alley-specific advertising. I don't think I have ever seen a package with Alley Agate printed on it. As far as I know, Alleys were only packaged by jobbers (Pressman was a big one) and you can find them in packaging with a variety of different names and labels - Marble King, Sure Shot, Big Shot, Allies (the small 3 marble boxes), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video makes it hard to focus on specific traits. I'll see if there is a way to slow it down - I can't seem to catch it with the pause button.

Well, after looking at my marbles (and talking to Ron, lol) I think you better take good care of that one for now - it may be a rare Ravenswood. But I'd wait for Ron to have a look - he'll know for sure. Is it 9/16"? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow...that would be cool 👍...I have had mine for a while (I was originally thinking Vacor Sunset, way off after looking)...it didn't show up as well but the orange on mine is just as bright. This would be cool indeed Melissa.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about that...I can't capture that nice orange like in Melissa's pictures, but holding it in hand next to my phone's screen with her images blown up a bit they could be twins...just what I'm seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
