Steph Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I didn't know (or didn't remember) I had a purple ribboned marble in my Jacksons. I probably would have guessed Alley for this one up front: Who all made marbles with purple? Pictures, pretty please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Besides Alley, there are a few lavender-based Akro corks, if you want to count lavender. Ummmm. I have a few purple pelt slags of the feathered variety -- some dark purple, others ranging up to lavender. And I have a couple of white-based WV swirls with purple ribbons, but I've seen them identified as both Alley and Ravenswood, so I keep them in my Puzzle Box. Do you mean just machine made?

I'llhavethat1 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Is Vitro a possibility on the one up front? I think I've seen some shooters with those colors referred to as Vitro. As far as the question of who made marbles with purple, might be easier to ask who didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 It's a dug marble from the Jackson site. And more swirly than that one patch-like view makes it appear. "As far as the question of who made marbles with purple, might be easier to ask who didn't" lol, well, yeah, yet I still end up thinking "Alley" when I see lavender swirls. Ann, I was thinking machine-made but any and all eye candy is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Aha Found a pic of the one I was thinking, middle bottom but it isn't a shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ok, checking your pic again I see uncanny similarities in a couple other ones as well (which is kind of weird, maybe coincidental) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah. Maybe they used the glass from the same sources. Or maybe whoever Jackson got cullet from was using the same formula Vitro did if Vitro wasn't using cullet yet. The time frame is similar. 1940's.
