A 7/8 transparent swirl - red swirls over a light green transparent base

The green in the pictures looks "Coke Bottle" like, but it only showed up with the flash. It looks much more clear in hand.

I know this marble came from an older collection, there were no Vacor "Spaghetti" marbles in that lot, there were no non USA as far as I could tell. This is most likely not one of those European type either. It just wouldn't be among the WVS, Akro Agte and older Vitro that made up the sum of what I got at the time.

I'd like to ID the maker and give it a name. It is in super nice condition. Thank you!

Can you submit photos without the flash?

A number of companies use or used green (ish) base glass....Not a Fiesta as they are multiple colors I believe...possibly a modern marble snuck into the mix? 

I want to say a Vacor or maybe Foreign...

Looking forward to more pictures and opinions...

Well, I hope these are good enough. Best i could do.

It appears a lot of but not all of these red swirls are near the surface. Could this be some kind of Alley or other West Virginia swirl? Some of that color is from the autumn leaves in the trees in the background. I took a lot of pictures to pick these finalists.

It does not glow under UV.

Thanks again.

I see a Peltish pattern in there.  Don’t you all see it?

You know, that crossed my mind. The red and bubbles lines up with my little red and white ones. There were Peltier Rainbos in that batch. That would be neat if it is a Pelt Rainbo in 7/8th size. I don't think I have a Pelt shooter or boulder.
