The Nickel Guy Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 These four 5/8th ish marbles are probably as old as me at least, and they are eye catching pretty but I have no idea who made them. Obviously from the same batch of glass combination. Among my favorites in a recent purchase as far as eye appeal goes, value, I really don't care but would like to know who made them and if they have a name, I'd appreciate it. Thank you! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMarbles Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Both Alley and Champion made these. Always hard to determine which is which. RW also made them but typical they are much whiter glass then I see in your pics 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Champion would be a good guess.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 I’m with William, Champion would be my choice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 Thank you good people! I'll have to look at some Champion stuff and see. Oh, I believe ya, but I don't have any Champion marbles except these ID-ed at least as best I know. Maybe I have others of different kind Champions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 Nice! I gave up somewhat on figuring out the basic one color on white swirls. I just sort them by the look they have. I am pretty good at pigion holing swirls of the same color shades. I'll learn it later. I watched this Stephen Bahr and Jack Hahn video here and saw our red white and blues a couple times in there. I read someplace too that Champion made RW&B in 1976 for the Bicentenial. I dunno. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemanvintagemarbles Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 This one was identified as Alley with a strong doubt for Ravenswood. Larry Alley leaned more to Alley but there are some Ravenswood that are practically identical. These types are pretty tough. I think you likely have some champions. I will say that ive got a pretty low track record. But its gotten a lot better the last 3 months lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask what you see that tells you all 4 of these are from the same run or batch of glass as you say? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted May 15 Author Report Share Posted May 15 I think in hand the colors look identical. The one closest in the image may not be exactly the same but I think they look much more alike in person. It might be different to some degree. They all seem to have their own pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
