Alley or CAC?

Like "All About Marbles" told you, this is an Alley.  We all have marbles we would like to be something other than what they are, but it's not a CAC.  Agree with Fire and with AAM.

No, the other marble in question was this one. "Old Rare Marbles" just identified the White black blue swirl one as CAC.

I want them to be 2 .80 heavy blooded UV mint Limeades. 

When you want to know the real ID post them on the CAC Facebook webpage.  Once those guys sign off on CAC then all is good and you have your ID.  I trust there opinions and use them frequently (like as in tonight) to get IDs.  They have multi administrators which will chime in.  Wouldn’t that make you feel better?

Yes, I don't have a Facebook account but I guess I'll join. I'm overflowing with accounts.

Well pay attention and appreciate the feedback you get on the marbles you post. I’m sunrise and I moon light all the time and I’m not the only one. Do you have any idea who the names are of the people I’ve mentioned. I’m just trying to help you out here so you can expand your interest in marbles and become a well educated Collector🔥

OP is Alley IMO almost every manufacturer made marbles at one time or another that exhibit a turkey type head or a close facsimile thereof. Second looks Akro to me, never seen ac CAC W lashes from dull shears, if you have another example of one it would be nice to see it. I no longer collect CAC gave & traded them all away years ago, Alley and Pelt now, and of course my first love of when I started collecting  marbles in the 80's German Handmades. Funny, nobody wanted machinemades then, my how things do change.

Well they are both coming by Friday or Saturday, Chad. A lot of people want fresh pictures of them. A lot of people have different opinions about them. Some want them in their hand to better study them. You gave up CACs, I'm falling into CACs.

Yes, in hand is always best, collected CAC's for almost 18 years, just got burned out on them. Collect what you like, maybe next year I'll like vitro, who knows. Controversy on both forums over these two marbles, makes for good discussion and education :thup:

Chad. It’s interesting you brought up the handmade fever and machine mades were kicked to the side at the marble shows prior to the EBay days. Bo Stiff pointed this out to me when I met him. Plain and simple and he’s an example of who recognized that. He scooped up bucket loads of Sparklers,Guineas,CAC Flames, 100’s of Golden Rebels,Blue Galaxies and holy snap everything else you could imagine. His collection made Brian Epstein’s published collection look like chump change. Who knew? Patry cashed in as well. 🔥
