Old Marble Collection Id Please. German And American

Recommended Posts


Picked up a large collection of marbles from a man in his 70's saying that these were his fathers. I noticed some have pontil marks (I think they are), but are not the typical german swirl. I also think some are Akro, Christensen among other American companies. I've noticed that most pontil mark examples have a melted on frosted mark. Most of these have a circular mark with a tiny nub in the middle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!!!

Those in the pic with circular marks with the nub in the middle... those aren't pontils, they are hit marks. (Damage)

You do have some pontiled marbles that lstmrbls pointed out. Some nice swirls in the last pic too!

Some West Virginia swirls, Peltier Rainbos and Vitros here. At 9 o'clock you have a "coral" (which is a certain color combo of WV swirl). Would love to see more views of the orange, purple and white one at top.
