I used to think it was a purple Taterbug variant from Pennsboro, since I didn't remember seeing anything too much like it from Sistersville.

Found one, it's better but still weak. I know Bill has some that are thicker and bolder still. Another thing to consider is that I am confident mine is a production example and the vast majority of these we've seen are dug, including this one.

cheese Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 That purple hazy part over the ribbon is pretty common on the Sistersvilles. I wonder if the taterbugs might have been an attempt to recreate them. The pattern and glass both say sisters to me with that batch glass and wider striated ribbon in a wavy flag flame pattern with the drawn out tips. Either way it's a total killer marble! I could make room for that one any day Here are a couple with a little of that purple over the ribbon from Sistersville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you are talking about - it's pretty distinctive. And I do see that purple color on some Sistersvilles, just not in combination with the tater-looking base glass (although maybe example #20 is close, I'll have to take another look when I get a chance - I'll report back). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Chuck, I still haven't been able to find the color combination on a Sistersville but I certainly did find some Sistersville base color that is really close, even closer than some of the Taters, so I am going to go with you and call it a Sistersville from here on out - I like that idea better anyway. Thanks for making me take another look! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Cool, no problem Ric! I like it way better than a purple Tater anyway, that marble is one of very few in it's class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I thought it was an Alley Green Giant in the jar when I bought it. After dumping the & some intense scrutiny "No av" ah well at 7/8ths still a very nice alley and probably harder to find than the ones with av who knows, I'm happy regardless "Thank you Ron & Chuck G. for the I.D. confirmation" Just what I wanted to hear this time, USA Baby !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
