  1. Looks like a swirl and not a slag IMO.
  2. I’m also thinking Alley.
  3. CAC striped opaque but some Germans can look similar and don’t always have a gap at the seam.
  4. Trust me Ron, if you saw it in person you would agree
  5. The blue didn’t photograph as well as in person.
  6. Hard to tell, but I lean towards Smith, as toes look flatter and I don’t see any tint to the glass.
  7. The book “L.E. Alley, Father of West Virginia Swirls “ says L. E. Smith copies are usually clear without a hint of tint color as opposed to Alley and generally Alley molds show more detail and the toes on the Alley sparrow have a sharp angle and the Smith bird has flatter toes. Some Alley sparrows have a taller and steeper angled tail. The wings are different and some Alleys bend their beak nearer the ground. Hope this helps with ID.
