Mikie_T Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Here is another red and white swirl. Could this be a Ravenswood? (Just a guess, I have no idea what I am talking about.) Anyway, I have some other colors that have these thin swirls. I have been told some are Ravenswood. So, what say ye? It measures 9/16".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Ravenswood and Alley both made marbles similar to this. I am leaning Alley on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Alley might be the best guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie_T Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Would the Alley label be applied to this marble due to the color of the secondary glass or maybe the pattern? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 All of the above but still not a positive ID on my part, Swirls were made on similar machines of similar glass and colors by many makers. And sometimes the same glass and same machines were used by different manufacturers, It can take many years for most to just get fair at identifying swirls. Heck I have been at this going on 30 years and many swirls still get a big ??? from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie_T Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 LOL.... I see, and of course the swirls are the ones I enjoy most. SO, for the most part, WV swirls it shall be. Thanks for the marble lesson everyone! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 If you have the time and patience many swirls can be IDed. Many are common between several companies and even have the experts ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie_T Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I can't say I will have the patience but I will "endeavor to persevere".... I hope to eventually learn more. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
