disco005 Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 In the first photo, the green based one at the top right is the largest at 23/32" In the second photo, the Orange, Tan, and White is 21/32". The Blue is 5/8" I'm guessing these all fall in the category of West Virginia Swirls After watching the Ravenswood video that Chad posted, I'm suspecting there might be one or two Ravenswoods in here ( hopeful really ). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, in my experience, purple is not one of the most common striping colors on vintage marbles. It's far more common as base glass (think slags), and seeing purple trend lighter and redder toward lavender and pink is even less common, in either case. So I think the purple-pink color range just wasn't that common, most likely because few girls were buying and playing marbles. Green was a more common color and there are plenty of marbles with green and purple-pink (think Vitro) - not so many swirls though. I'd be surprised if CAC didn't make one. Veiligglas and Ravenswood certainly did, and a few variations were produced at Lawrence Glass & Novelty (Alley) in Sistersville and Alley Agate in Pennsboro too. I think Cairo, Champion, Davis, Heaton, Jackson and Jabo all had variations, but no more than a few variations at any one company (excluding modern JABO, DAS and SMM). In my experience, green and purple-pink combinations were just far less common on vintage marbles, in general. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
