The Nickel Guy Posted Monday at 04:28 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:28 PM 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 Monday at 04:37 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:37 PM 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 Monday at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:38 PM Champion would be a good guess.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted Monday at 07:12 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 07:12 PM 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 Monday at 07:40 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 07:40 PM 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 Wednesday at 01:52 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:52 AM 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 yesterday at 02:49 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:49 AM I think in hand thge colors look identical. The one closest in the image may not be exactly the same but I think they look much moore 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...
