ILikeHelmets Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Are these slags, maybe Akro slags? If so, when made, who made them and how would each be worth, just an estimate? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeHelmets Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 And are these slags as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 In the purple group, first photograph to the top right appears to be a purple slag. Probably Akro, but I can't tell from here. The rest of the purple and blue examples appear to be transparent swirls...any number of manufacturers made these. As Steph pointed out recently, about a dozen manufacturers in WV. Getting certain IDs on these is tough...still lots of work to do on these. Slags were made for extended periods of time and in the millions, most of those are Akro if machine made. There is value sometimes especially larger and in finer condition, and those with great pattern and construction. Some manufacturers are less common and more collectible such as CAC and Peltier. Also colors are more collectible, such as lavender, orange, vaseline and teal which are far less common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Many boxes of swirls and slags at the DesMoines show were marbles for a buck each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeHelmets Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Thanks all. Are they WV swirls made in the 30's or when would you estimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Most WV swirls were made from the 30's to the 50's. At least one company, Champion, stuck it out longer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
