B-rett66 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I found some good pics of this marble on Joesmarble page and thought I might have an Alox marble. Then I found some very similar pics on this sight in the archives and that are identified as Veligglass. UV pops like crazy. Which one do you all think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Hmmm it does look out of round judging by the last image. Alox marbles are a confusing bunch. Alox purchased marbles from other companies and sold them as their own. I would call this one a WVS of some make. The white looks good enough to be batch glass--or glass made from a recipe rather than cullet from another glass maker. This is about all that I can offer. Marble--On!!

B-rett66 Posted February 21 Author Report Share Posted February 21 Thanks Akrooka, I'll probably still continue to look on the side, I'm with you that it's a WVS of some sort. I have seen some that are very similar marbles but can't remember were I seen them. The West Virginia companies do have some interesting history. It's kinda like "who's on first". This marble could have been made by Heaton, packaged by Alox in a Cairo mesh bag marked as a Champion. Crazy, I love this stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-rett66 Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 I’m goin go out on a limb and put this out there. This is the whole leaning process. I came across a green base Akro Snake. Colors look good but no spiral. Could be a crazy spin in the machine. Probably not, I just thought I’d put this in the mix. The other marble is a Peltier Emerald Jewel. Colors are good and there is a vibrant white on the surface. It is kinda hard to see but there is a seem visible it the last photo. This one has two ribbons. I read some could have four. Like I said I’m learning and I like to get to the bottom of a mystery. I know some of these marbles will never identified because of the complexities but I’ll have the satisfaction of leaving no stone or “marble” untuned. Good night all. Thanks for all the help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Akro, no Peltier, no Veiligglas, you're whittling it down there, fewer and fewer options will ultimately lead to the proper I.D. or @ least leave one of 2 choices.

B-rett66 Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 Yes the fun has started. I’ll eventually find a good match. Those two caught my eye and I couldn’t resist showing them. I’ll continue to look at WVS like Akrooka suggested. I’m going to get out the Sherlock Holmes hat and magnifying glass. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
