Is it a christensen?

No Christensen, IDK what it is for sure. but you can rule those two out.  By a process of elimination you'll get close. I think there were a few different manufacturers that made very similar marbles that's what makes this one somewhat difficult to positively I.D.

I think you may have explained why I still have this one Chad. Lol I havent been able get a confident answer on this one and it is honestly one of the coolest mibs I think I own. Green mibs that is. Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to explain for me.

It’s a Pelt Miller Swirl. It spins Counter Clockwise. Check your MCS. You’ll see the same spin on this one. Look at the yellow ribbons at 11:00 and the smaller blue ribbon in the OP marble that spins at 9:00. The spin the same directions 🔥

No color inside of the matrix, never seen another pelt like it. Yes the outside design resembles a miller type swirl pattern but still not seeing pelt ??

OP is a machine made with spin pattern imparted by the rollers of the marble machine.  This pattern can occur in just about any machine made marble from any manufacturer.

If it was Peltier (I don't think it is) id expect the white to be more solid/opaque and less whispy.

The size is a classic Ravenswood size--just a hair large---I would consider Ravenswood here.

Ravenswood made more 9/16" marbles than any other maker.

The white in this marble is more than likely "Opal". (Opalescent glass)

Ravenswood was/is known for it's "Intense White" batch glass--( batch glass meaning made by the manufacturer on site from a home recipe )

These type do come from a variety of makers and they do not get much attention in the ID world--they are a hard ID for sure.

I just threw my hat into the ring here:wub:.--Yep, I still suck at wvs ID:dunno:.

The "Opal White" is what brings your/my eye to this one imho. "Opal" just lights a marble up to the next step.

Ponds "cold cream jar" cullet was used quite often in making marbles.

I do not rermber if Ravenswood used it or not--probably--but no proof here.

My second choice would be Champion here.

It is a very attractive marble--especially with your hand on the images.

Marble--On!!
