Last one is Champion? I have one from a known swirl collector and author (don't want to say his name) that was sold to me as Ravenswood many years ago so that's where I always kept it and although the thought of Champ crossed my mind I've kept it with the Ravenswoods. I need to go move it. Here's mine:

I am not 100% sure on the last one being Champion. Just from the pictures and the closet thing that I know of. I have never seen the original in any original Ravenswood package, or dug at Ravenswood. The ones pictured below are from a Champion worker who has passed on. I had them verified by Dave McCullough. He was Champion plant manager, according to him when these were made. They were made at the end of the New Ole Fashion run.  I see many of these listed routinely on Ebay as Ravenswood. There are some listed currently as Ravenswood. I have not seen any marble book author who has not printed a mistake. Many reasons why. I have witnessed that first hand more than once. Pictures depend on how accurate they look like the actual marble. That is all we have to go with here. My pictures are just a little brighter than the marbles in hand. It is because of the bright day light bulbs that I use trying to show detail. Plus the marble is a lot closer to the camera lens than with your eyes and the marble in hand. Even a different background can make a marble look different.

Below are several Champions that are often mistaken as Ravenswood Novelty.  Not all but most common mistaken as Ravenswood marbles. Hopefully this will help identify some in the future. Some may want to keep this some way to refer back to. Lots of pictures.
