stephenb Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hi all ! I picked this up yesterday. Here’s a vintage marble that looks like a left handed Turkey Swirl . Could it just be a happy accident? Maybe an Akro slag ? It’s in great condition. Thanks for any replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Not slag. Not Christensen Agate (which is the usual company one things of with turkey heads). The shape of the red ribbon together with the slightly translucent base glass is making me think Alley. On the other hand, Cairo Novelty is known for hairpin hooks on one side and little pattern on the other side. So I'll stay West Virginia swirl and leave it at that.

stephenb Posted July 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Thanks Steph for your help ! I think I understand now that : a "slag" has a transparent base with an opaque white swirl inside the core of the marble , interesting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenb Posted July 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 I just did a websearch on Cairo Novelty Company, interesting story and quite possibly what this marble is. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
