Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 The is a shooter. It measures 0.96” inches in diameter with a base glass in electric orange with swirling white. To me this one has a slag look. Akro? But I don’t think Akro had electric orange only Germans and CAC if I remember correctly. But the size is rather large for a CAC and I’ve never seen a German with this much swirling thick white. So maybe it’s a transparent swirl Alley? Any help is appreciated here. Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 More than likely Alley, if not some other W.Va. swirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Great phots! What camera are you using, and what is your setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I think it could be Alley to. Camera wise this is my iPhone 7 I just play with the lighting angles and keep the background darker than the marble. Other than that there’s not any special setting or editing other than cropping. Some marbles just like their picture taken. Thank you for the replies and thanks for the compliment on the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Lighting and background are probably the most important thing in taking pictures of marbles. Three point lighting slightly dimmer on the side lights. Also the pictures seem to look better setting back about a foot and zooming in versus getting up close and zooming out.

The Cutline looks very straight for an Alley to me. This one may be an outlier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 With the size and this marble color combo. About the only two choices are Alley or Jabo. Not many WV swirl companies made any numbers of this size marbles. Alley is the only vintage company that made numbers of this size swirls.

Ron I appreciate your input which, as always, helps solidify any marbles ID. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
