I want to say Vitro and made for an oversized Chinese Checker game - I think I've seen one somewhere before.
. . . there is always a chance that I'm clueless.

Pretty sure Vitro, and often contain the deep transparent purple marbles as the black ones. There is a huge board they were used on I think it is 3 feet to a side.

That is some more checker Board. Thanks for the refresher Gentleman. and Mis Steph.

mite be a market for handmade remake, seems more marbles survived than Boards.

The large board is the difficult thing to find.
