Marbleneophyte Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I know that without the packaging transparent swirls are nearly impossible to identify. These 2 have another color (oxblood?) that I'm hoping will provide a clue. The amber one measures 9/16 and the transparent green 19/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleneophyte Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 The amber is my favorite but they're both staying with the keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 The brown amber is Ravenswood. No oxblood. Ravenswood had none with oxblood. The green is Champion or Alley. The green looks very weak for Alley. I would guess Champion. If oxblood , it would be called horsehair oxblood. Is there any red in the oxblood lines or just brown ?

Marbleneophyte Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Ron, when you view the dark streaks on top of the white they have a red tint. I'm thinking that the "green" glass filters out the "red" and makes the horse hairs appear brown. Hard to capture with the camera, but here are some closeups. What do you think?
