cheese Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Both are Ravenswood. You are seeing the difference in quality over time, left being batch glass, right being later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghMarbles Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Wow, I would have for sure thought the one on the right was Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 That is a fantastic example of the changes over time and the awesomeness and validation of batch glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were for some time called Champions because they were included in the champion Bicentennial bags but many marbles from Ravenswood, MK, and other makers were packed in those bags. Those bags had 30-40 year old marbles in some of them when they were made. These more muted RWBs on the greyish base have been proven to come from Ravenswood by original packaging and digging. Often they will have a little blip of a coppery splotch on them too, which I think this one above has at the seam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
