WVS

Right now for a Pelthead they’re all kinda sneaky. I remember the collectors I met 20 years ago didn’t really like the WVS because they were to hard to ID. I always thought that was lame. Sorry but a corkscrew/spiral is a corkscrew/spiral and they are all made by Akro. Why pass on the challenge?

Jabo Jorkscrew .   I have a black and yellow Popeye made at Jabo that has fooled hundreds of collectors in hand at many shows. Some Jabo marbles turned into nice corkscrew patterns.  Akro was the only machine made marble company to make steady corkscrew pattern marbles as standard production.  With special equipment to do it steady. But lots of companies had accidental true corkscrew pattern marbles. Very little with marbles is all, always or never. 

Want a challenge, yes separate WV swirl marbles.  Ask Ric why he decided to study and collect WV swirls years ago.

I was one of those hundreds who had the marble in hand, it's a scary Jorkscrew, and one of the reasons I have tried to learn Jabos too.

I keep digging these out. 

You should just put them all in a big box and send them to me. Just think of the time and effort you'd save, and you wouldn't have to move them either!
