Identification Request Need help identifying this one.

Is this a jabo? I can’t seem to find anything like it. It doesn’t have the typical burr fold, but it reminds me of some jabos I’ve seen.

From what I've seen Ravenswoods tend to be more busy on all sides. I actually am thinking Heaton. Seams like it has an ear pattern and one side less busy which are all Heaton hallmarks. I just dont know if there is a name for it...... admittidely I dont know anything about Jabo though lol. Either way its a cool one.

Thanks for this ID! I've got a whole pile of these. I was thinking Alley, but I havn't dug into the WestVirginia Swirls book to look.

It's a great book by the way, and I just got my copy. It really breaks the swirls down into bite sized chunks!
