Could anyone tell me who the maker of this marble is? It's around 9/16". Thanks, ... Roger

I had one almost identical and I believe that Ron S. (wvron) ID'd it as Alley. _________________ Lizzy

Dang it! I wish that Ron (wvrons) wasn't so busy with finishing up his move and had computer access at home!!! His expertise is sorely needed here.
Chris, (according to Ron) "Alley,Heaton,Champion,Ravenswood,and maybe a few odd Cairo Novelty." made 'Horsehair Oxblood'. Although the thinner type that we see the most of, is usually attributed to Champion. I asked this question on LOM some months ago and Ron shared a good bit of interesting info. Here's the link.
