Marbleized Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Just purchased a bag of swirls. Here are the ones that I can't ID. The first one is .69" and the last two are .70". Marble 1 has the translucent orange of an Alley. The second one is opaque white swirls in a transparent glass. I'm going to guess Alley. My guess for the last one would be an Akro with half a swirl. I can see a streak of green and a thin line of something darker. Like a hair of something. Seems like the base is clear and the white opaque glass that looks like the base is a separate stream of glass. The colored glass is translucent. So my guess is Alley, Alley, Akro. Thanks for your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 I agree w/ you, Alley on 1 & 2 and more than likely 3 also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my brain was wanting that last one to be an Akro so badly that it was only after you said it is probably an Alley that I also saw Alley. The swirl is way thinner, and as I looked through my Akro marbles for Akro Friday, I noticed that none of them had that type of dark blue that I thought they had. I guess I need to more comparisons.

Thanks Chad! I think there is a corkscrew w/ that color combo ?? I haven't seen it but I was looking at the transparent blue and noticed it didn't go all the way to the other pole, that's why I suggested Alley. To qualify as a cork it has to go from pole to pole w/ at least some rotation, if no rotation it's a patch but both must go from on e pole to another. I posted a pic of both ends to illustrate what I'm talking about, note the ends are nearly next to one another at the point of termination !! Corkscrews can meander quite a bit but will always end up at the other pole to qualify as one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
