Steph Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 That has enough colors in it that one of our swirl people might be able to recognize it. Possibly I should recognize it. "One of these days" I need to make a data base ordered by color. But for now I'd probably still have it in my generic West Virginia swirls box.

lstmmrbls Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Has the reversing twist found on a lot of the Pelts and many other makers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 This looks like it was made by hand to me. The top right looks like a spot where someone had a hold on it. Maybe it's just an odd mark, it's pretty small for a hand made marble. Some germans were that small but...? Tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 That reversing twist is a fairly common trait on machine made marbles. It has be duplicated on purpose recently by Dave Mccullough in his marble making ventures. Many of them also have the cold rolls seen on this marble.

GoofyCat Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 i thought it may be hand made too as i have german ones that small and smaller. it does have cold rolls just like DAS marbles but i dont think Dave made this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
