ILikeHelmets Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 here you can see the 9 and tail of the amber transitional?? and a couple more to ID please? the swirl with the cold rolls is a peewee Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think your camera is focused more on the detail in the cloth under the marbles. If you use a plainer background, it could help the focus on the marble. I'm not recognizing the first marble. Is that yellow and white together in an amber base? Or is part of the amber looking yellow when we see the white behind it? I think Master on the green one. And I'm not getting a good feel for the last one either. My first thought is slag. But I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 The green ones and blue one in the pictures which you added while I was typing my other answer ... I'd just call them "transparent swirls" and probably not try to get much deeper on them. However, since one is a peewee, I think Alley becomes a strong possibility.

ILikeHelmets Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 the amber 9 and tail is more butterscotch and white, like the pictures in the replies. The first set are overexposed to try to show the crease. The blue Ravenswood?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I don't know if we could tell if the blue is Ravenswood. I think there are many WV companies who might have made similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 That really is not what is usually considered a tail, on a handgathered marble. The "Tail" is the string of glass than ran from the glob of glass on the punty back into the molten glass in the furnace it was pulled out of. It lays on the surface of the marble. That looks more like where the white just comes to the surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
