Wolf Posted yesterday at 12:44 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:44 AM The seller contacted me and said this. "Hello I this is a transparent Christensen swirl with a color base and white opaque swirls manufactured in Cambridge Ohio approximately 1925-1930’s. Hopefully this information helps" They sell a ton of high-end marbles, a ton of Peltiers. 100% FB https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?sid=scoota2944&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m2548.l2567 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM "Yes, the Christensen Agate Company (CAC) did produce transparent-based swirl marbles with dense white ribbons, often referred to by collectors with terms like "snotty" or "taffy-like" to describe their thick, flowing appearance with an amber base." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carowill Posted yesterday at 04:07 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:07 PM Just my thoughts, for what they are worth. Everybody likes to see Christensen agate in the marble they are selling. I'm not totally convinced the OP is CAC. The white is not a bright white that you see with batch glass and they didn't make a large quantity of clear-base swirls. I would like to hear some others thoughts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted yesterday at 07:37 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:37 PM I was wondering about the color of the base glass. It doesn't look right and there aren't any striations in the ribbons.🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMarbles Posted yesterday at 08:44 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:44 PM In OP the swirls are not white enough for CAC IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 21 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Sami Arim thinks it's a CAC. "I think it is. There are also brown on amber, green, cobalt and a gorgeous transparent turquoise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Cheap milky cullet glass white. Champion IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago I see it now. The OP’s ribbons are thicker,wider and have softer edges. It also looks like it doesn’t have as many swirls and more base glass is exposed. The CAC looks the opposite. The base glass isn’t as exposed and there more swirls. I’ll go with Cheese who punished a book about WVS🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
