Actually I am just going through my slags and swirls! that's where i found these ! I decided it was time to learn about swirls and how to I.D. them? before I was just focused on Vitro/Pelts/MK's my brain can only handle so much at once! I must have tucked that Zebra away with swirls ! what a nice surprise! cloudy here but took some anyway! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I don't know who came up with the name Calligraphy for these. There are a few different rows of Alley Calligraphy marbles in the Alley Salesman Sample case. Only two of these known anywhere. Larry Alley has his Fathers and the one I have. Mine was found in a desk at the Anacortes WA Vitro plant. It was shipped along with all the Vitro items and equipment from Parkersburg WV. The case lid folds over to close and snaps shut. It has a silk cloth lining. Some people previous owners sold some of the marbles from it. I have back filling it for a few years. Trying to get it all correct. I followed the path or trail of this case ever since it was first found in the desk. It finally made it to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
