#2 Alley
#3 Probably Alley
#4 Ravenswood for sure
#5 Ravenswood

I was wrong about the Champion ID in my other post, it was actually the ID on #3 that you did seem on the fence on. I'm looking at it and I see Champion more than I do Alley. What traits made you lean towards Alley?? Think I'm gonna have to send a few more your way b/f I start seeing the similarities in my bins! I will keep trying tho.

It does sort of have a Champion look, but the colors and swirl pattern look more Alley to me. Alley made marbles for a long time, and in a lot of colors and styles and 4 locations. I think this one looks like some made at the site in Sistersville. I might be wrong.

I will take ur wrong anytime!

That is pretty amazing that you can even identify where a particular marble was made. Is it because during that period certain colors or patterns were more prevalent? Interesting stuff I mite add!

There are definitely differences in the overall appearance of the general marbles produced at different factories but it may have as much to do with the time frame as it does the location. I'll try to take some pics of groups from St. Marys, Pennsboro, and Sistersville. There doesn't seem to be much known about the Alley marbles made at Paden City.
