It is still a great marble.

Yes, it is! It has a really nice pattern and the striping color is very unusual. It's a great marble!

I do like the colors of this one that I haven't posted yet. I think it is a West Virginia Swirl but which company and any nickname, I do not know. It's a bit of an eye catcher in person, my pictures are not so good.

 

Late EDIT

Turns out this one has a few votes on being a Heaton Sweet Potato

I just took a group picture of what I am told are mostly Alley Agate and Ravenswood Swirls. That would be W Va. wouldn't it?

Well I am not sure with either maker--size always matters when regarding Ravenswood marbles. 
They (Ravenswood) made more 9/16" marbles than any other maker--by design in fact.
They do resemble some of the later Champion “New Old Fashioned” marbles that I have seen that were not old –---well they are old now—just young to me.
Lets call in @cheese and @Ric for an opinion.
Marble—On!!

The marbles I posted measure 5/8" Hmm, so that could rule out Ravenswood? These marbles have always been a mystery to me, thanks for looking 😊
