  1. WV swirl.

     

    I once tried really hard to pin down black and white WV swirls by ribbon texture and base color.  I collected all the identified examples I could find and laid them out side by side to try to pin down distinctive features.    I got nowhere.  

  2. (Bloody Mary is not the marble type I was thinking of earlier, when I spoke of "an abundance of irregularly distributed ribbons".    The one I had in mind which I owned was NLR glass ... but yours does look like Rainbo base ... so maybe a really true tweener.)

  3. Transparent swirls rarely get pinned down by maker.

    I wondered if someone might find the texture and bright whiteness of the ribbon distinct enough that they might claim it as CAC, but when I compare it to the transparent swirls in this thread for instance, it's not seeming as if it would necessarily fit in.

    Most of those swirls have a bubbly base, but the blue base ones look clear.  Maybe someone will think the yellow base belongs also. 

     

  4. Now the question is "black patch on blue base" or "blue patch on black base"?  

    The black does look like some light ought to be able to get through it, so maybe the blue is blocking it.  

    The furnace brick visible in the black in this view is why I say that.

    No one else thinking Kokomo as a possibility?

     

     

    My thought was "this is the kind that some say is Kokomo, so I'm pleased to see no one saying it so far."  



    I don't know what to think about how many marbles are now getting called Koko by people whose ID-ing ability I greatly respect.
