The Nickel Guy Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I have sorted my marbles a little better. These seem to be of the same style. I would bet numerous marble companies might be represented here and made this type. Please tell me if I am on the right track to identify further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 Thank you kindly. I think I have a majority that could be Ravenswood Swirls in the above picture or is it generally just good enough to say they are simply WV Swirls? In a lot like I have there are certainly some that are better than others. Some have more eye appeal, an odd color combination, or cool pattern. If I had to pick my favorite 5 or 10 and leave the rest, I think it could be done within a half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 I would say both Ravenswood and Alley are the 2 predominate makers of your WV swirls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted September 2 Author Report Share Posted September 2 The first image I provided in post no 1 were mostly white base swirl marbles. I also have some transparent and translucent colored base swirls I'll add on here. Some of these look like monstrous mutations of cats eyes! I think the only thing I can conclude is that swirl marbles are one tough type to identify. It is going to take a lot more studying than I thought to be able to pigeonhole these. I also should prepare myself to accept some just won't ever be identified with 100% certainty. I get mixed up sometimes telling the difference between a "Slag" and a "Swirl". I do have a bunch of "Jabo" swirls but they are a story for another day. I only have one big clear base swirl. I have several solid swirls, that Yellow Blue and Red on White looks to be something modern, the little marble is to show some scale. Sometimes a swirl is hiding in the crowd looking like a solid game marble. This one appeared to be a very dark green until I took a flash camera shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
