rockgardenplants Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 I'm a bit hesitant to list orange and red swirl marbles that have turned out to be a WV swirl. To me this mib has characteristics of a Chrissie. What do you think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 FWIW, I'm not getting a CAC vibe, but it doesn't look Alley to me either so . . .? Maybe Champion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockgardenplants Posted June 7 Author Report Share Posted June 7 What would give you a CAC vibe? What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Color just doesn't look right to me and that sort of "slit" in some of the ribbons (where the base shows through) would be odd for CAC too, I think. And then there's that sort of transparent/translucent brownish-looking glass too . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockgardenplants Posted June 7 Author Report Share Posted June 7 I agree. I looked at joemarbles and the color definitely is not a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Like Ric, I don't see any CAC traits, what Characteristics are you seeing that are Chrissy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockgardenplants Posted June 8 Author Report Share Posted June 8 Turkey heads with reeeaaalllyy long necks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Lol yeah, I see what you mean but those are more just folds in the glass. Which is what a turkey head is too, but they usually have more of a turkey head shape than a simple loop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockgardenplants Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 Yep. It boggles the mind to think of how much this particular marble was rolled around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I'd been thinking on this marble and had come to the conclusion that it almost has to be Alley, and then I saw this in a photo of one of Ron's Alley cases - check out the loops . . . Sorry it's a poor image - I snipped it from an enlarged photo of the marbles taken through glass and this one just happened to be in a bad spot. I think your marble is just one of those odd Alley types that just doesn't look all that Alley. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Too many companies made this color combo to be sure about it. It may just be a great Champion---or not. It appears to be out of round--is it? Nice find non the less. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
