DINDO Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Are all vintage swirls one of a kind? Or could they control the pattern and make exact duplicates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissmarble Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 The ones from the same cane look more or less similar (size could vary slightly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINDO Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 yes .They can have similar appearances. I suppose i was thinking more of machine made and wondering if each marble is unique like a fingerprint or a snowflake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Gorgeous marbles, Ron. That's an interesting question, Dan. I think you can find swirls which are practically twins ... and companies could have distinctive traits like the shepherd's hook of a Cairo Novelty. I had a group of swirls where the ribbons looked like they formed flowers. But was there anything deliberate about it of just what happened sometimes when a stream of glass a certain width fell a certain height? Controlling it to be exact matches? I don't think so.

DINDO Posted May 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Yes ive seen very similar and traits that are common. It is kind of odds defying fantastic that the probabilty of 2 exact marbles being identical twins is quite low to non existent. Even Vacor who have made billions of them i think it would apply.
