RW seems most likely to me.

Facebook and ebay are the two worst places to learn marbles. You're at the right place, the marble forums are the best (online). In person at shows is even better but we can't always do that.

The West Virginia Swirls book is now available

If it's confusing, to just make it simple, just send payment to paypal. If your shipping address is correct on paypal, we will get it to you from there. The reason we have you fill out the other form is because several people have different shipping addresses or no address on their paypal and this eliminates that problem. What can I do to make it easier or less confusing? -

What part is causing trouble? Is anyone else having difficulty ordering or using the process to order? -
Champion. The one sided pattern was just due to the random way the glass ran out of the tank. They were just melting glass, letting it run out of a hole in the furnace and cutting the steam into little sections and letting them fall on the rollers, which made them round. No manipulation of the pattern on most swirls.
-
I'd put it with Champion.
-
I see Master for #1
-
First one is Ravenswood.
-
I'd call it Alley.
-
I would Go RW based on the 3rd pic what I see at the top of the marble and overall pattern.
-
I lean RW on the majority of them. Top left looks more Alley.

I can ship to UK but the price will be different than what the site shows. Contact me about it before purchase and I'll figure it up for you. Thank you all! I'm loading up the truck back seat every day with packages to take to the post office. You won't be disappointed in this book, I assure you! -
It's with great excitement and anticipation that I am now FINALLY able to enable the site for ordering! *Be sure to follow the instructions when ordering so that we can match the book order to the Paypal or Venmo payment when it comes through* When submitting payment, be sure to put the unique order number in the notes for your payment of Venmo or Paypal so we know which payment matches the order. We have the site set to 1 or 2 book orders (many folks want one to use for study and one to keep mint). If you want more, you can order as many times as you like or if you want combined shipping, contact me and I'll get it figured depending on how many books you get. If you need to mail a payment then message me. We also plan to have books at the Des Moines show in a couple weeks. Thank you! Here is the link: wvswirls/ This is a quality, durable hard cover book with about 277 pages made of one hundred pound gloss paper with a super strong sewn binding. There are approximately 14,000 photos compiled and separated into their respective factories and in the case of Alley Agate, separated by factory location. Images are sharp detailed offset printed in Canada and the publishing itself was done here in the USA in South Carolina by Palmetto Publishing. The cover has a gloss lamination protectant and the book is about three and a half pounds, ~1 inch thick and 9x11. The quality is that of a reference book and the print is that of an art book. The book is $115 shipped with insurance or $218 for two. If you have trouble ordering or can't pay with the methods offered, feel free to message me.

St. Marys Alley -
Black line all red.

Okay, just under 5/8" is what I was expecting it to be and I would call it Champion.
-
A thought or two come to mind but .5"? That would make it a peewee, very small. Are you sure on that size? Because size affects the ID.
-
Nice! Those are St. Marys Alleys. Looks like they are the contents of a box or bag and have stayed together through the years. The one looks like a fancy or exotic type or coral I think. Would be a great group to keep together and not mixed up with others to use as fill for a box or just for posterity.

Purple slag. The pink is an effect of the white under the purple glass.
