Gregor Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Mibstified -- Whatever it is, I have one very much like your third-row-down, far right marble, with the strip-y green ribbons. If anybody has any ideas about that one, you've got at least two people who would be interested to know what you know! Or just what you think . . . I think its an alley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I see one. Would that be the bottom row, second from the right? Others may be too, but I'm just beginning to grasp some characteristics of Ravenswood. So I dunno. I just got a nice marble with question-mark-CAC? or question-mark-Alley? but now that I have it in hand, I'm wondering why not Ravenswood? I don't care which company made it -- it's just my kinda swirl -- so I got no investment in the answer. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 That one is killer, Ann. I am leaning CAC away from Alley. I think Ravenswood is unlikely. But It is a great marble, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibstified Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Looks to be a CAC Bloodie to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 The colotrs are a litle different than I am used to seeing but I completely agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Thanks, guys, I think you're right. Once I got home and started staring and staring and staring (you know what I mean) at my small group of Ravenswoods and the new one, I thought "Uh-oh, I don't think it's Ravenswood after all." Next I went through my Alleys, and it just didn't fit -- not closely enough for my comfort, anyway. Always remembering the limitations of my (moderately sized) Alley collection. But I was still reluctant to move it to my (also small) group of CACs just of my own accord, so I left it sitting there on the windowsill until (hopefully) I heard from you. Whew. It'll look nice in the box with its CAC cousins . . . whee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Ann, I think Mibstified's mib (third row, right) is an Alley. Thanks Ric and Gregor for sending me back to my Alleys on this one. For a long time I've had it grouped with two others that were similar, in that their striping glass was consistantly narrow but had 2 or more colors . . . including one with narrow (and sparse) transparent red ribbons edged on one side with transparent green. They've been a real headscratcher for me. And too interesting to just ignore. So I got out the Alleys. And did a double-take when I picked up a marble I hadn't looked at for a while. I had it in a small group of Alleys that had (burial) irridescence on their striking glass. On very close inspection, there it was. The same very narrow, sparse ribbons of more than one color -- in this case a kind of medium blue with what looked like burgandy. I put it next to the three mystery marbles and they embraced it warmly! Anyhow, it was fun. I appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I can never make heads or tails of Ravenswoods (or most other WV swirls for that matter). I think a couple in the 1st pic are. 2nd pic probably Alley is my guess anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 In the second pic, I want some of those to be Cairo Novelty. I would love to hear confident answers on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Second pic, top right, semi-confidently Alley. Have seen two very like it but with yellow instead of orange. David Chamberlain used to have one of them. Second pic, bottom row middle, also semi-confidently Alley. I have a couple and some cullet with the brown a deeper color.
