Galen,thats something i've never thought of,so you think it's possible,the stuff in green in the Euro swirls is similar to the stuff in orange in the wirepulls?

It's also visible in the red and yellow in wirepulls and also in Euro swirls.

Similar in that it is a material that has precipitated out of the mix of materials that were used to make the glass. Or possibly a contaminant? Too much of one material may be a cause? I do know an overabundance of the metal Oxides used as colorants can make aventurine. So it does seem possible an overabundance of other substances may show up it other ways.

The stuff in the yellow--red and orange swirls and wirepulls looks more like debris (contaminant?) and it sparkles a bit.

The green looks different and doesn't sparkle perhaps caused due to the same reason?

Here you can see the orange and green stripes next to each other in one marble.

I had heard the rule books were packed in some of the world's fair boxes but I did not know that they were packed in bags until now. I was also a little surprised that they were already using 'leatherette' bags in 1933.
