Jzoook6 Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 At first, these looked identical to me--but I think one is a Ravenswood (top) and one might be a Peltier Zebra? (bottom). If not Peltier, then Alley? .59 and .62 respectively. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I do not see Pelt here. I suck at WVS ID but I know a WVS when I see one--or two. It is a 75% chance that these are both Alley Agate marbles. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 x2, both Alley IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jzoook6 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thank you both! I hear you----but what about the top left pic in the bottom group? that rounded little tail flap guy (im 100% sure theres a better term for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Alley (both) x3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jzoook6 Posted January 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Ok ok I officially concede with a x3! Thank you. But for the sake of my marble education, could someone tell me the proper name for the buttflap circled below? Is it a cut mark? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 The (seam) you have circled in the Zebra pic is a "cutoff mark" where the shears cut the hot glob during manufacture. The straight line on the bottom middle picture is the other seam where the glob was cut. The Alley in your OP just shows a fold in the glass not a shear mark IMO. I'm not that great at explaining things, maybe @wvrons will see this post and expand on the subject, fer sher better than I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 X3--just a fold as part of the marble making process. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jzoook6 Posted January 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Cutoff mark! Thank you @Chad G. I see what you are saying about the fold for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
