Pelt’s off set clockwise and counter spin


Fire1981

Recommended Posts

Here’s what I have. One side of certain Pelts spin 2 different directions and the some finish off with counter clockwise a spin. PPP example shows the clockwise spin on one side. The MCR swirl finishes off with a counterclockwise. Follow the red and white ribbons that get spun counterclockwise. They started thin but got thicker as they got twisted off. 🔥

I appreciate response, Fire. I totally understand the difference between left- and right-handed spin. What throws me is the idea that it can somehow be used as a diagnostic tool to sort machine-made marbles by company. In the other thread you said, "Pelt’s spin Counter Clock Wise. This one spins Clock Wise".

At this point, I am not even sure what to say, since these photos seem to contradict the first part of that statement. If they don't, please explain and I'll be happy to continue the discussion. Otherwise, I prefer to end it here.

Based on participation here, and in the other thread, there doesn't seem to be much interest in pursuing this topic. Please don't feel obligated to post any photos for me, it's really not necessary. I was interested to know how you could use "spin" to separate one company's marbles from another's. You have now shown that Pelts can spin either way. That is enough to satisfy my interests, and I thank you for that.

On the other hand, if you are interested in discussing and developing your ideas about how you can assign marbles to different companies based on their "spin", I will be happy to assist by playing the role of devil's advocate.

Yep ! Let’s throw the Miller Swirl traits in here. Please post any type of Pelts that have a valid and confirmed MS trait attached to them if you have any? Please share them. The MS is a tricky one to pin down.IMHO🔥

I don't have a whole lot of Pelts to contribute to this conversation, but I do have Akros 😆
A couple years ago, I was curious about the corkscrew formation delta, whether there were more made of one direction.
So I lined up my larger size corks and here were my results. Counterclockwise on the left, clockwise on the right (the marble in the middle is just a size reference 5/8").

FWIW 

And now I want to dig out all the Spirals and sort based on spin direction.

Personally I don't see how spin direction in a fully machined SWIRL marble is important or plays any part in company identification.  Akro used the spinner cup to obtain the CORKSCREW pattern which controlled the end result.  SWIRLS (not corkscrews) are completely directionally random.  Overall pattern, glass quality and color(s) are what makes an ID.
