Plutonianfire Posted April 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 The Champion Puce Swirls are pretty well known. A few references below: 1. https://www.westvirginiaswirls.com/champion?lightbox=dataItem-kjwznr934 (you have to scroll way down) 2. https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/other-u-s-companies/ (look in the first dish of Champion marbles) 3.

Never heard it before & can't find it anywhere ?? The link is for Joe Streets old ID site he built on for years before he passed.

Steph Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I don't think he's claiming that Champion Puce Swirls is a marble name. Puce is just being used as a descriptive word, I'm guessing. (Am I right?) Of course, it's not a color name that I'm conversant with. I had to google for it. I would just say purple for what I'm seeing on the screen. If we can get past the name of the color, does anyone recognize the maker of the marble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PURPLISH- BROWN. Does anybody dispute that these PURPLISH BROWN marbles are Champion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plutonianfire Posted April 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I will change the topic from Champion Puce Swirls to Champion Purplish Brown Swirls since it seems not everyone is familiar with the name puce for purplish brown.
