Easily confused, however I would keep this with Ravenswood, leaving open the possibility of older Champion too.

Ravenswood. Sometimes found with blue also alongside the purple. You can see these on Pages 252, 237, 238, 246, 254 and 255 in the Ravenswood section of the West Virginia Swirls book.

I agree they are all Alleys from the St Marys location and often have aventurine which I see in some of yours. No name.

St. Mary's Alley. Just funky one in pattern.

If you want to learn Alley, I would say you must get the WV Swirls identification book. It has Alleys sorted into the three main production locations, thousands of images of them. It's only available here: https://allaboutmarbles.com/wvswirls/

Thanks! Yeah that was one factor, along with the very typical Sistersville flow of the ribbon and the size that made it evident who made it even though I've never seen one like it. It really makes for a nice effect!

I'm with Fire... conqueror gone wild.

What is confusing? I'd redo it if I knew what it was. Fire was asking at AAM about vitro swirls, then it switched to over here at MC.

Someone put the "confused" reaction to my post, marbles are confusing sometimes Ask about the part that is confusing and I'm glad to help remove confusion if I can.

This^^^^ I said at AAM that Vitro didn't make swirls and then I said some of the vitro shooters got twisted up and swirly and the blue devils often had a flopped ingot which is I guess technically the most basic form of a swirl, but Vitro was not a WV swirl company and didn't make swirls. Now all these "Vitro swirl" posts come after I said that... Some of their patches got swirly but they weren't in the swirl market. Just because a patch type marble setup got out of whack or whatever and made some that got twisted around doesn't make it a swirl, it's still a patch, it just got twisted up. Same as corkscrews... they swirl, right? All the way around the marble, sometimes several times, but they aren't called Akro swirls. They were patches that then got twisted by the spinner cup. Well, some patches got twisted by the rollers instead of a spinner cup.

Oddball, I don't know.

Weird one. I agree it's the same as the other one you posted.
