b-80 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Their seems to be a process among glass bottle collectors to turn clear glass into purple or brown glass by a process called Irradiating the glass. It now seems a glass seller is currently doing this to German swirl & mica marbles as well. These are being passed off as authentic colored glass marbles. Does anyone have any information on this topic. b-80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaMarble Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I've heard this is happening as well. I don't know any names. They've been doing it to fruit jars too.

Royal3 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Another day, another scam...whatever happened to playing by the rules? That’s an old fashioned concept, I know. I’m getting to be an old man. All this larceny is getting to me. Thanks for the information on this, folks. Forewarned is forearmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
