The West Virginia Swirls book is now available
Al Oregon replied to cheese's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Ordered and looking forward to it. -

For reference, Wave Breakers have an iridescent finish - old ones and new ones. Here's one pic of my bag. And here is Pete's (Land of Marbles (RIP) definition - Baby blue base with yellow swirls. Iridescent finish.

Advertising Bag. Improved Cats?
Al Oregon replied to VaMarbles's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I don't have this exact bag but similar ones that were "Made in Japan". Does it say anything on the reverse side of the header (label)?- 1 reply

No - possibly a "tweener" but I'm leaning towards a nice Rainbo.

Agree

Here are a couple pics that I have saved of Mid Atlantic marbles. Sammy Hogue worked there way back when. Pics are from David Chamberlain (RIP), Edna Eaton, and Ramdy Gossett (RIP).

Possible

I'll stir the pot - my first thought was Mid-Atlantic.

What percentage of WVS were made by Alley ?
Al Oregon replied to Fire1981's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
When I was first collecting WV swirls in the early 2000's before a lot of iD'ing was done, I took 20 (25 count plastic boxes) full of WV swirls (500 total) - mostly random - to the Texas Show and met with Ron and Ric to get them ID'd. I think by the time we finished, over half were ID'd as Champion. Just one example but the marbles were random ones that I had bought off eBay or at the few shows I had been to back at that time. -

In the 2nd pic, the two large ones are Alley (likewise in the first pic) and some of the smaller swirl types also are Alley. The one Peltier, maybe Rainbo. to the left of the large one at the bottom of the 2nd pic looks interesting.

The pairs of vanes, three color aspect of that marble leads me to a cat's-eye ID.
