mibby wonka Posted March 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 I have a transparent one as well, with less glow in it. As seen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 They are both Alleys as far as I can tell and it looks like the biggest difference between them is the amount of clear glass mixed into the base and how much black striping glass is applied to them. This is also how they differ from the more typical Pistachios IMO; the base and the striping on those is usually opaque. So while I think they may be part of the family, I do not think they are well developed examples of Pistachios. In addition, there are plenty of Alleys that are not Pistachios but do have that UV reactive base glass. I'd be interested to hear what @wvrons might say. And FWIW, quite a few examples like your second one came out of the dirt at Pennsboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Size matters--Always. Many companys used UV reactive glass in the cullet that they used for production. I am not getting a "Pistachio" feel from these that you posted. If these are under 5/8" I would say Ravenswood. I do suck at WVS ID so-- Many more opinions are needed and welcomed. Nice marbles!!

mibby wonka Posted March 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 I don't think they are dark enough green to be considered pistachio, either. They are both under 5/8 but near that. Is the clear one a "snake"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 I think they are both Alleys. But no Pistachio. Also no Alley snake. Pictures below. Alley Pistachio can vary with the green base but the base is more opaque than transparent. They were made at the Sistersville and Pennsboro location which had a higher quality glass than most Alleys made at the St.Marys site. Your marble is weak on the green and weak on the dark or black color. Made late at Pennsboro or at St.Marys Alley site. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
