J_Ding Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I think that sounds correct. That oxblood just up there is something fine I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 "Pennsboro Blues" ... I love saying that ... it's like a prison band or a minor league baseball team travelling around in the 1930's. Tried to capture the grain of some of the more translucent white glass ^^ (Dug by Ron Shepherd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Ding Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 This one (dug Sistersville) just came in the mail from a friend, just because (you know who you are ). From time to time we just drop something in the mail to each other...sure is fun to share and get something unexpected. This one is so stunning, one has to wonder why it ended up being tossed in the first place? Curious. This one is terrific, and I think needs no help with color and pattern. I like plenty, darkly colored marbles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManofKent Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Nice marbles Winnie. Is there anyway without known provenance to identify Sisterville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 No not for me without provenance. I got them from someone in America who is very familiar with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 To me, alleys have traits that tend to go with the factory they came from. There are ones in grey areas, but in general if you put 1000 sistersville alleys in a pile, 1000 pennsboros in a pile, and 1000 St. Marys in a pile, it would be very easy to identify which pile came from where, although not every single marble will be easy to tell by itself. Some of them are though. Like the Alley random group Winnie posted... the majority of those are Pennsboros, a few Sistersvilles, and one St. Marys. I might be stepping out on a limb but if you never step out on a limb, you never make it to the next tree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll guess the Sistervilles are 2nd row from back 2nd from left, 3rd row from back - middle one and first right, bottom row 2nd from right?

The bottom row one is iffy though, could be pennsboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the bottom one gave me most pause but the others do stand out as different. I know we're only talking possible/probable, but it's nice to have some idea.

ann Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Seems to me that the Sistersville Alleys often have two-colored ribbons, or at least two-toned ribbons, of a certain width. Except for the ones that are just plain weird, like the inky-violet one I have that's been ID'd as Sistersville by both Ron & Craig. Who knew.
