wvrons Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 If you back light it and it has a clear base. It is a nice Akro Popeye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looks like it has a little orange in it, too. Interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Based on structure and what I thought might be a faint memory, I was thinking West Virginia swirl. But wvrons is "the man" when it comes to all things West Virginia, including Akros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held it up to a light bulb but could not see much. Not really sure what I'm looking for as I'm a rookie. The white part I can vaguely see into the marble but only a bit.

wvrons Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Quote No clear base. Then nice Alley swirl from the Pennsboro site 1932-1937. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would I find a base on a sphere? I'm confused on where to look. I a below novice when it comes to marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Marbles are often thought of has having one or more ribbons and a base. The base glass would usually be the glass that that there is the most of in the marble. You appear to have red, white and blue ribbons on a translucent base. So, base here is about the make-up of the glass, not about the position on the geometric object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
