Blue slags and swirls for ID


Melissa

Recommended Posts

The one that looks most distinctly slaggy is the top right.  It has a pretty clean 9 in the first view but when I look for the cutline on the other end, I see such random-looking swirling that I'm a bit surprised by it.  Are you able to pinpoint where the cutline is? 

The bottom right is distinctly swirly.

 

The two on the left are telling me I need to get a refresher on slag versus swirl.  If they're slags then I'm saying Akro.

It does seem like there are some marbles that are right on the line of being a slag or a swirl.  lol  I'm horrible with swirls and finding cut lines but I'll take a closer look when I get home.  I think I'm finally getting down to the last few slags for ID.  Thank you for your help!  :)

 Akro, along w/ the other early hand gathered slags almost all had a 9 pattern and weare indistinguishable from many of the other early producers, they look very similar since they were made in exactly the same manner. MFC is a little more prominent 9 pattern and the glass itself is somewhat different. I'm not a slag expert, just going by the little I know on them.
