Marbleized Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Anyone who has read my posts knows that I think every marble that I have is special. Here's one that seems a bit odd. It is green and white, seems to have a matte like appearance, has a very noticeable seam that you can see, but can't feel. Just wondering if someone can tell me a little about it. It is .66". Is it old and special, or just old and special to me? 😉 Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Old but who? I'm leaning Alley. Am also wondering if you see any aventurine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Actually, it does have very little aventurine in it, but any sparkles in the picture comes more for the dings in the marble. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Alley swirl made in St.Marys WV 1937 to 1949. Probably made 1945-1949. Common and value about 25 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Thanks WVRons for the extra history. That's the best part of collecting, knowing the whens and wheres of each marble. I think I got this from a jar, so 25 cents was worth it for this beginner. Peltier was my guess when I first got it. But I've been learning a lot from all the posts on this site so my latest guess was "Alley". I guess Covid is allowing me the time to do some homework. Thanks again.
