Akro75 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Comes in at 5/8”….. really pretty mib, wish it was mint, but I still like it. Alley or CAC coral, I’m leaning CAC just because the Alley corals I have the coral is a bit more pinkish…but it’s probably Alley! Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akro75 Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 “Exotic coral” same transparent green glass..yellow and orange in the swirl? What other Alley could it be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 "Corals" are an argument type for sure. This is a collectors name as far as I know and no company marketed them as such imho. Several companies made them, including Champion, Alley and CAC and a few made them that did not intend on this color. They can vary quite a bit in coverage and base color such as transparent vs almost opaque and opaque as well. Zaboo posted some great images—(really great images) I just love them for sure! Zaboo was around when I was a rookie and I hope to see some more of this respected collectors' takes on the ID’s on this format, along with some more great images. I just collect anything that looks like it has a “coral” color to it and I could care less what company made them. (I suck at WVS ID, try and fail—but keep on going) The color is the thing to me—not the value. Here are a few that I have collected over the years.

Akro75 Posted January 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 The 2 bottom left, are they transparent green glass? Look nice…I have a lot that are almost opaque green glass, typical I would say..but characteristics are the same with the transparent green. …I collected Germans since I was a kid in the 80’s, and CAC,,,not till the last 3 years have I delved into the gallons of Machine made marbles my father and I purchased over the years so it has been fun to say the least!
