Marbleized Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Need a little help ID'ing this marble. It's size is .64". Is has a clear base with white and orange swirling around, and there's a concentrated strand of the orange that seems to create a reddish thread. It kind of has a "tunnel and road" and a diaper fold (but no jagged edged seams) and it kind of has a slight "nine-ish" swirl (last pic) that I wouldn't really call a "9", but just mentioning because I thought it might help to visualize what might have been going on as it swirled around in the machine. Thank you for your help again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Not CAC, although someone may be able to identify which company did make it. My first guess would be Champion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Thanks Ric! Just a little wishful thinking, but I had a feeling that it wasn't a CAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Champion or Alley. Same value either way for this marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 This marble is a “beater”, but it still looks “cool”. I have an Alley that looks similar to this, but green. But, I’m wondering if that diaper fold makes it lean more towards being a Champion. Thank you WVRons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Alley definitely wouldn't shock me. And just FYI, the term "diaper fold" is usually associated with a specific type of fold found on CAC marbles. Check this post for a good example.

Marbleized Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Thanks for sharing the info Ric! Yes, that seam is what is lacking on my marble. The one on my marble was looking more like something you might see on a Jabo, but beyond that fold, everything looked more fluid. I don’t remember seeing a fold like that on my Alleys, so I’m going to have to take another look at them. These marbles just keep the marbles in my brain rolling. Thanks again!
