Is that purple in the white ribbon? Does the white ribbon glow?

Cambridge Ohio, it was a hint. CAC.

That one's not a WVS, it's a Cambridge swirl

Vitro here. I see the resemblance to peltier though.

Right, only one is.

One of the first marbles off a cold set of rollers, probably at the start of a DAS or JABO run.

@indy m here you go, this is page two, go back to page one at the bottom.

I sure can see a lot of remnants of hits in the glass, the half moons that Alan mentioned. Lots of them. And the pinkish weird look oxblood often gets when it's polished and doesn't have the thin bloom layer on it anymore. Not to mention all the exposed bubbles.

That's a nice big full bag! I don't recall seeing the challenger name on one. Good find!

That's a drizzle. Long strings of glass get pulled away from the gobs of glass when workers make adjustments or remove rocks and things like that, then they fall on the rollers and get picked up by the hot gobs or fall back onto the gob and don't get smoothed out. I wish I could post a video, I took one where this was happening at DAS when the orifice on the tank got clogged.

Your thoughts on this one? What happened to it?

No, unfortunately not. All makers could experience the same issues. Even now. And this is a really hard color combo to attribute to any maker on top of it. -

The glass was not hot enough to fully smooth on the rollers when it was made. Possibly the rollers weren't very hot either. This may have been made at the start of production when the furnace was just getting hot enough to run and produce, or at a time when the temp got too low for whatever reason. Much cooler and the tank would probably stop running altogether and have to be heated back up and possibly rodded out at the orifice to get flowing again. -
Yeah that one is from the St. Mary's factory.
