William Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 I want to guess Alox until others offer opinions? And you might want to invest in some plastic calipers, don't want to scratch the glass with the metal 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too me they resemble Alox or maybe Davis. Alox operated through the late 30's-late 40's while Davis operated 47'-48'. I could be totally wrong, we'll see what other more experienced collectors have to say 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swirls are sometimes difficult to nail down even for the experienced collectors. We'll see, Sherry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 I agree w/ Alox or maybe Alley, but like William said some form of West Virginia swirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Not Heaton. My first choice would be Ravenswood for both. But these transparent base and one color swirls can be very difficult and many cannot be separated by companies. The only sure way is to have 100% known examples in hand to compare side by side. This a a big reason that these have very little value with collectors. Separating these comes down to exact colors and the swirl pattern. With pictures if the color is not exact as the marble looks in hand then the id may be wrong ? Plus patterns can be a give away. Some have the swirl pattern only on half or one side of the marble. Some have a C or S shape swirl. With some the swirl will dive more inside and some stay more on the surface. I probably cannot teach you separate transparent and one color swirls accurately in a year. It takes lots of time effort and known examples. This can also apply to many opaque base and one color WV swirls. But as many that are difficult to separate, there are as many that can be learned to separate with less difficulty. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
