Akro?

 An early corkscrew???  Any help would be appreciated.. thanks!

my guess is an early Japanese transitional. That's because I think I see a long cut off line on what appears to be a pontil. If they are cold roll marks then I don't know.  Thanks

Not Akro, not a corkscrew, nor is it a transitional, I Have well over 20 Heaton from the dig and some Peltier that look just like this. Machine made and as they all sometimes do has the "ying -yang" pattern. I'm not saying this a Heaton, there are Pelts, Heaton, Champion on down the line probably every manufacturer had some that ended up with this pattern. A few pix of some Heaton I have that spilled off the rollers with this same ying-yang pattern. First pic is a Heaton robins egg, the ying-yang is apparent in the first mib with the second being normal. The next pic of 3 are in order from  L to R  Heaton volcano, Heaton robins egg, transparent blue base not named Heaton, these are all defective (culls)That's the reason they where in the cull pile "dug marbles" the one you have whether dug or not is a cull, a misshapen mistake out of the machine. I can't guess on the manufacturer of yours' just an opaque that came out screwed up.

So the same as my avatar but with more color? Odd I didn't see it. Thanks

Yes Bruce !!

Personally I like your avatar, you won't find another like it, the way it looks is why you picked it in the first place. I love the ying- yang pattern, especially on some of my larger pelts it actually increased the value because of the outstanding pattern it ended up making. Some people like it some don't (all perspective) just like everything else. If they all looked like that the value increase would be notta. Here is a pic of a metalic (rare) opalescent (rare) Heaton I found in the dug mibs I purchased, looks something like yours. The pics leave something to be desired but it has the little tadpole looking metalic swirl going into the mib and the tail coming out the backside following the flow of the glass, I got lucky on this one, a couple fleas but I'm keepin it, the rest of the Heatons are under multiple feet of dirt, gravel and by now perhaps concrete or pavement.

Messed up WV swirl. Common color, could be Alley, Heaton, Cairo, Champion, Ravenswood etc.   Not intentional, non standard production as happened almost every hour of every day.  At 250 per minute for 24 hours in only one day, lots of mistakes happen.  First red flag or indication is the rough roll marks. Each hot glass glob has to spin in all different directions on its own axis in every groove of the rolls. If it spins one direction to much, this happens. Caused by many things, not correct size for the rolls, temperature, roll speed, etc. Might have been one or 100+.  Depends on how fast the operator corrected the problem.
