godown Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Couple things i've noticed On Matts the coloured ribbons seem to go narrow fat squiggle yet the edges on the ribbons are sharp and some have a little bit of Transparent green traveling along side an against the red unlike the Pic Cheese has put up were the ribbons go on some narrow fat squiggle but bleed or blend into the green and have no green transparent traveling along side On Mons pic the ribbons don't seem to get narrow fat narrow and squiggle more so they are fat and go skinny and end with tips even the blunt ends have little tips hanging of but do have the transperent green travelling along the red ribbons Hope that makes some sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godown Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 OH bugger the image is tiny hope you dont mind Matt ive copied your picture and reposted it with Photobucket hoping having the three pictures on the same page might be handy Very odd cant seem to copy any of your pics this one isnt one you have posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think the difference between mine and Matts is just the difference in time of production. I imagine every time they ran this color combo, they didn't exactly match the batch they ran a couple months or years before. I imagine they could have changes in characteristics due to temp changes, changes in the glass they got from their suppliers, tweaks and repairs made to the machinery, efforts to cheapen the process, etc... Just my speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Good job!! The CAC glass is much more dense in color if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godown Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks Cheese seeing the different companies side by side really make`s a difference i don't have any of these " in hand " for comparison Thanks Galen i do see and get what your saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Gotta save this for the collection of pix of marbles which sometimes get confused with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Cool, feel free. Glad I could help! Yeah, the colors are so dense or saturated on CACs. Often when you see a CAC, it stands out like it's in HD. The edges of the colors are crisp and the colors are strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Great, I get it, I think? I really appreciate the time you've all spent. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibcapper Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Cheese , yes these look a good match.How can you differentiate between CAC and some of the Alley swirls, when it's thought Alley purchased the CAC production machines? Does anyone have a comparison pic?, or is based on personal opinion and gut instinct? Thanks in advance. Matt. hmmmm ... when l.e. alley started up in sistersville, he, alley, built his 2 machines, thru his own expertise, at skaggs machine in sisters. he had hands on. a very multi-talented man. as far as i know, all the locations had machines that were .. locally .. built. i believe, as do several, that it was c.a. that came to ravenswood with the sledgehammers, .. not akro. c.a. and alley were the ONLY makers of swirls in that time period. akro sold .. materials to alley. made money off alley. alley was in direct competition with c.a. so i don't think c.a. machines rolled out alley's. st. mary's red-green are bit duller in color than c.a.'s ... bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
