theteaman Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hi again I'm also not sure what these marbles are. Hope you can help. Again, I think all the marbles in the photo are the same type so I've grouped them together. I've also taken close-ups of 2 individual marbles. I hope that helps. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 "transparent swirls" might be the best that can be done. If vintage, then odds are they were made in West Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 You being from the UK & seeing your other posts I would gander to say these are foreign to the US as well ?? "To me" they almost look like some kind of Wire Pull ?? In this pic it looks to loop around and around w/o separation, like a pull does, the strands also have that 2 tone (or color) look ?? Someone will come along and know exactly what they are, Josh (NANTUCKETDINK) or "Alan" will probably have a good idea !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 These are very similar to a handful that I have...I'm sure I posted them for ID quite some time ago but don't recall the maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the white had a bit of a foreign look to me, but I let it go because it was more wispy that I would have expected with the white I was thinking of. But if these were found in the UK, then I should have kept non-American on the table. Of course, West Virginia companies did export their marbles, so that's still possible, I suppose.

theteaman Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks so much guys. One thing I did notice if they're quite similar to Purple Veiligglas, I'll attach some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
