Chad G. Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 These two look like Alley, not sure about the last one ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted August 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Thank you Chad, I have tons of swirls. On many of them I see this pattern that ends with a tulip shape like the marble on the bottom right in picture 6. Are there any particular identifiers for a manufacturer found in swirling patterns or any certain tendencies ie out of round open pontil or drizzles? Or does the mystery continue because glass only flows a certain way and most swirling patterns aren’t indicative or exclusive to a manufacturers end product? Again, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I'm not real good on W.Va. swirls but I recognize Alley pretty regularly, usually an opaque base accompanied by a transparent swirl of some color, red being the most prevalent in "my" experience. I guess after a while you get to the point you recognize the different swirling patterns of individual manufacturers. There are a lot of different Alleys though, all in good time I guess ?? Ah !! you're welcome !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghMarbles Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Id agree that those two are prob alleys, the one in the back to my looks jabo, however it seems to also have a straight seam line, which jabos dont so I have no idea.
