I am glad to help you look in the right direction even though I was bedazzled and will continue to be by WVS. A simple stab in the WVS dark by me.

However, I am pretty sure I've seen one like it before all those runs, like early TOC. Back then though, I would have thought to be an Akro. Akro made plenty interesting swirls but, I decided to rule out Akro then and expect these days; given all the all known dug-ups it's an Alley or Ravenswood in the WV category. Pretty cool as long as, ( not to beat up on Jabo), it's not Jabo but an oldy and a goody. Coke bottle green transparent, I do have 1 single big shooter, Akro Oxblood and yellow with coke bottle transparent but it's a dug-up and folded verses swirl. I was trying to photograph it yesterday but, still no luck getting decent photos. Never seen another Akro with coke bottle green before or after. However, as it's probably or usually a transparent color that's most likely to be from cutlet then, I think this answer my come from whoever, in WV did use Coke bottle colored cutlet to make marbles? On mine, Akro might have been slumming when made.😆 Oh yeah; here's one similar and same transparent color as well. that sold on eBay who knows when. the seller's best guess was Ravenswood, but yet wasn't totally sure: Vintage Ravenswood Swirl Marbles Oxblood 11/16" Wow! | #35365608 (worthpoint.com) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Different transparent green with brown and white ones in the bottom left group. These are likely Alleys but I am not 100 percent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been intended as Corkscrews but some of the models (oxblood) just did not behave and turned out to be quite nice. Most of the Akro Milkies are swirls for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 The only real JABO possibility that I can think of with these colors and pattern in a 5/8” size that would be worth a look is the obscure 2009 Alpha and Omega (Hinkle art glass) run. That “2” pattern happens in JABOs sometimes. I can take a look later to rule it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 We should have a special section that shows all of the different transparent green with brown and white swirls out there in the world. A lot of companies made this color combo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been intended as Corkscrews but some of the models (oxblood) just did not behave and turned out to be quite nice. Most of the Akro Milkies are swirls for sure Yeah, 1928 and possibly a year or two earlier, they would be Akro's greatest accomplishment, as far as we know. There is advertising promoting in 28 so, I mean, I would consider there's not, simply, just one verity. It wasn't marbles but bottles and gob feeders as, it was 1918 when bottles were manufactured as a single unit and were no longer 2 pieces joined at the neck. A lot was going on in the glass manufacturing industry. Interesting: your first photo is sure looking hand-gathered? I would be, if I had one like it, scrutinizing every detail to answer that question. I mean, like, for how many years nobody expected that the H-G's would be dug in Clarksburg. All that time Roger Harty had been exploring that site and others. . I have since seen enough on-line where; they were out there before the dig. Some that were played with, we'd been looking straight at em, just never knew it. Some are so complicated, not easy to see the H-G swirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I have a bag of Alox that are transparent swirls in the same color slags were made. So, it ain't so easy to name who did what or match colors.
