5/8 size Alley Coral or the 5% chance of Cac Coral

I do not think they are Jabo. I don't ever remember those at Jabo. But I cannot remember them all at Jabo. The glass quality looks better than Jabo used most times. I do not think they are CAC.  I would not call them corals. But I think they are probably Alleys.  For sure same base color and striping colors that Alley used.  Alleys that I have not seen. Never dug any of these at  the Pennsboro site. They look a very busy pattern for most Alleys from the St. Marys site.  I saw the tounge fold. I saw the big hooks ? or loops on the more plain one. I would put them with Alleys. I just don't know which factory location or time frame ?  Those five should stay together.

None of the OP are furnace mibs IMO, yes the page you show a link to Art are all Champion but, unless you click on every individual picture you'd think they're all furnace marbles which Ron has right about 50%  of the page are just regular Champion swirls. Even I was confused for a second, a newbie would be completely lost.

Yeah that site has a lot of incorrect IDed marbles. They aren't all Champions either. A guy named Bill takes the photos from facebook and puts them on his site. A lot of my photos are on there too. I didn't know, but even the home page photo is part of my alley keeper box. Take what you see there with a grain of salt. Lots of nice pics but IDs there are not reliable.

I agree with Alley on the OP marbles.

I can jump in with my 2 cents that they aren’t JABO. Nice find!

Thanks for your input 👍

I am far from an expert regarding Champion Furnace Swirls but the following page has me thinking that there may be a few in the OP.
