Marbleized Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Hi Everyone, I'm getting to the end of my marble box. Now what I have left are the marbles that I've been dreading to identify. So I have some shoddy reasons for making my guesses. I have four marbles (left to right). 1. Transparent green base. Feathery ribbons of white with possibly lavenderish (bluish depending on the lighting) and brown edges. Goes into the marble. There are both large and small bubbles, but not bubbly like a Peltier bubbly. The marble glass has an appearance of having fine grooves like some kind of leaded stained glass. size is .64". Thinking that it is a Champion since Ravenswoods don't often come in this size? 2. Looks like the first, so it could be the same, but the glass is not as clear, the ribbons are not really feathery and lack the lavender and brown edges and large bubbles. This marble has the same same groove pattern as the first marble. The size is .61". Champion again? 3. This marble has a more minty green clear base. I see a couple of big bubbles, but none of the smaller bubbles. There are no grooves or striations. The ribbons look more like wisps of smoke suspended in the glass. The size is .66". Maybe an Akro slag? Or another Champion. 4. This has a transparent blue base and the white ribbons are bolder and look somewhat like flat noodles in the middle. The size is .64". I can't even guess what this might be, West Virginia swirl? Thanks! Edited June 3, 2020 by Marbleized press something that made it go through when I wasn't finished.

Steph Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Akro slag seems a pretty good guess for #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yay! I got 1 out of 4 this time! Thanks Steph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 They all look like WV generic swirls. Could be from different makers. But most look Champion. The reasons they have almost no collector value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 The reasons I put them in a jar to enjoy without worrying about who made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Don't let the marbles hear us. They think they are the highlights of my collection! 😝 LOL! Thanks WVrons and Steph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yeah, just wondering if I should just label all my unidentifiable swirls "WV" since there seems not to be a definitive way of identifying these. I figured that I'd try, but it seems impossible.🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Not impossible, but not easy. Some can be impossible but the majority are possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
